Buffalo running back and Harrisburg native LeSean McCoy had 74 yards rushing and 35 receiving in his return to Philadelphia. It’s no easy task for McCoy to forget his days in Philadelphia, especially after leading the franchise for years, becoming its all-time leader in rushes. The sports journalist and television host did not have a problem with McCoy hugging Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie before the game, but found McCoy’s decision to kiss the Eagles logo at midfield a bit odd since he plays for another franchise now. And then McCoy declined to talk to reporters after the game, simply saying “I got nothing to say to y’all”.

Agholor’s 53-yard score was set up by yet another positive play for the Eagles’ special teams. Sure he is still hot at Chip Kelly for being traded, but running for shade after the game was bush league. It was an emotional game for the current Buffalo Bill as he heard a mixed reaction from fans. The Bills defense will exploit the holes in the Eagle’s line.
Later in the third, the Bills marched down the field and capped off the drive with just signed two weeks ago Mike Gillislee’s 19-yard touchdown run. Buffalo started that drive at the Eagles 46 after an unsportsmanlike penalty on Philadelphia’s Riley Cooper on a punt.
