Seahawks take flight to face Bills in Toronto

TORONTO (AP) - For someone who's spent little time traveling to Canada, and never visited Toronto, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll doesn't expect it'll take long to get settled in on the north shore of Lake Ontario this weekend.

All Carroll figures he needs in preparing to play the Buffalo Bills (5-8) at their northern home away from home today is to draw on his experiences in visiting neutral sites during his previous job at Southern California.

"It's kind of like a bowl game," Carroll said. "You go and play in somebody else's place and see what happens."

There won't be a parade of roses greeting these non-conference opponents with little history between them. And yet there's plenty at stake for the surging Seahawks (8-5), who have vaulted into contention by winning four of five.

Seahawks re-sign Butler: The Seattle Seahawks re-signed wide receiver Deon Butler and placed receiver Charly Martin on injured reserve because of a calf injury.

Butler was with the Seahawks during training camp, but was part of the final cuts at the end of the preseason.
