Jimmy Graham scored two touchdowns as the Seahawks beat the Bills 31-25 but it was his athleticism that caught the eye on Monday night.

Graham has struggled with injuries since his high-profile move from New Orleans to Seattle in March 2015. The tight end, who scored 51 touchdowns in five seasons with the Saints, only scored twice in last year's campaign and was a bit-part player in the Seahawks' attack.

However, Graham looks back to his best this year, becoming the go-to passing option for quarterback Russell Wilson. In their week nine victory against Buffalo, Graham caught eight passes - a season high - for 103 yards and two touchdowns, including a one-handed grab in the end zone.

But it was his improvised hurdle, to get away from Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore, that caught the eye. With two minutes left to go in the first half, Wilson threw a short pass to the left hand side for Graham, who turned and leaped over Gilmore before being forced out of bounds.
