Jimmy Graham had a hand in Seattle’s 11th straight Monday night victory.

It was Graham’s one-handed scoring receptions that highlighted the Seahawks’ offense in a 31-25 win over Buffalo. He used his right arm to catch a 17-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter and used the same arm to cradle an 18-yard TD pass just before halftime.

Graham finished with eight receptions for 103 yards.

Russell Wilson was sharp as the Seahawks improved to 5-2-1, completing 20 of 26 passes for 282 yards, two TDs and no interceptions. He made up for an offense that generated just 33 yards on 12 carries.

The Bills had a chance to win it in the final minute, marching to the Seattle 10 before the drive stalled. Tyrod Taylor was sacked on third-and-goal from the 8 before his final pass fell incomplete.

Taylor threw for 289 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the 4-5 Bills.

Rex Ryan and the rest of the Bills were furious over the way Walt Anderson’s officiating crew handled the last play of the first half. Ryan said it was “ridiculous” that Seattle’s Richard Sherman was not called for unnecessary roughness when he crashed into kicker Dan Carpenter on a 48-yard field goal attempt. Sherman was instead called for offside and, after some confusion and a delay of game penalty on Buffalo, Carpenter missed a 54-yard attempt.
