Bills will face former running back

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - Buffalo's past and present running backs will be on the same field this Sunday, with Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks playing the Bills in Toronto.

Lynch is the NFL's second-leading rusher this season with a career-high 1,266 yards through the first 13 games. The Bills traded him away two years ago to make room for Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller in the backfield.

Spiller now finds himself as Buffalo's top running back, while Lynch is lighting up the stat-sheet in Seattle.

"I enjoyed my time while he was here... really learned a lot from him, the way he prepared," said Spiller.

With 56 yards Sunday, Spiller will become the third different 1,000 yard rusher for the Bills in the last five years - a list that also includes Lynch and Jackson.
