LeSean McCoy has been a direct beneficiary as well.

Sturgis made a 45-yard field goal for a 17-10 lead at halftime. He got rid of them the fastest. Cox said. “If you take anything personal, you have a problem”.
“I’ve got nothing to say”, McCoy told reporters. “He wanted to come out here and make a statement, make something big happen”. Everything we asked him to do here, he did.
LeSean McCoy has been the focus of this week’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles, but is Tyrod Taylor the key to Buffalo’s success? It was reported that Kelly tried to call his former running back before being hung up on.
The Eagles come into the game with a mediocre defense, allowing 124.7 yards on the ground per game (27th in the NFL).
But when when they needed to shut down Shady, they shut down Shady. I just want to keep him in front of me. “They were going to hand it to him enough times that sooner or later he was going to pop out of there”. There’s no call for tackling. “I was really impressed with the way he throws the ball downfield”.
The 2013 rushing champ was traded in March for linebacker Kiko Alonso, and that was quickly followed up with the Eagles signing 2014 league rushing leader DeMarco Murray and two-time 1,000-yard rusher Ryan Mathews.
Fighting through a picket line of injuries, McCoy has rushed for 792 yards and three touchdowns this season with his new team. WR Sammy Watkins has two straight 100-yard games…. “I feel like I always respected him as a coach”. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says Murray could sink as low as fourth on the depth chart at running back this week. He finished with a game-high 74 yards on 20 carries, but was nearly rendered a non-factor. Safety Reynolds was late getting there as well. “He can score on any down, any distance”. I’ve got to make those plays. Now Buffalo will look to go 4-0.
As for his performance on the field, it was far from his best of the season, especially in the second half.
TYROD’S PRECISION: Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor hasn’t thrown an interception in 187 consecutive attempts, a team record. “He knows this, that’s why he said, I know him-he is very intelligent”. And then the offense couldn’t do anything with it. Three and out.
Sorry, Rex. It was. The Eagles are running a play every 22.48 seconds, according to statistics kept by the website Football Outsiders, the fastest pace in the NFL.
“We moved the ball pretty well and push it down the field, but we just couldn’t capitalize when we had to”, Taylor said. Obviously, we had a stretch there where we didn’t do so great. He does a really good job. The Eagles have also forced 15 fumbles, recovering nine of them. I know how Philly fans can get. “We fired up as well”. As his knee continues to heal, he will start to perform like the guy who won Rookie of the Year in Buffalo.
Finally, he reportedly shot someone a middle finger just for good measure.

There may be another reason McCoy is so anxious to play the Eagles. He’s good at what he does whether it’s the deep ball or he stands in and plays with his legs.
