The Pete Carroll-Seattle Seahawks are flying high in the NFL this season. However, Russell Wilson and Co. suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Buffalo Bills today. Josh Allen led his side to a memorable 44-34 win over the Seahawks at the Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday.

Despite the loss, Pete Carroll’s boys sit at the top NFC West Division above Kyler Murray’s Arizona Cardinals. However, the Cardinals will go top if they beat the Miami Dolphins later today.

But prior to this defeat, head coach Pete Carroll made an important decision regarding his long-term future with the Seahawks.
