Eagles slide past Bills 23-20
Bills coaches were upset about being flagged for 15 penalties in a 23-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday, and they let the officials know it even after the game.
Kelly said that he will always shake McCoy’s hand if ever given the opportunity, saying that he has “great respect” for the running back as a player and person. McCoy was bottled up for the most part, rushing for 74 yards on 20 carries and catching four passes for 35 yards.
They still stink! Nelson Agholor (who did catch his first career touchdown…in Week 14!), Josh Huff, Riley Cooper, and Jordan Matthews combined for 11 catches on 20 targets. “It’s tough in this league to drive 80 yards all the time, and that touchdown gave us a big lift and that really carried us through the game”. I did not get an opportunity to talk to him.
The win over the Bills helped Philadelphia tie the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants with a 6-7 record in the National Football Conference (NFC) East. His only true mistake of the game was the sack he took on 3rd and 6 with two minutes left, when he could have thrown the ball away to aid with field position.
Taylor’s streak of 222 passes without a pick ended when his deep pass went right to Reynolds with 1:16 remaining.
“As a defensive backfield, we pride ourselves on being able to go up and get the ball”, Reynolds said after the game.
LeSean McCoy ran off the field, first one in the locker room, slammed his helmet against a wall and screamed “F*ck!”
“I was close by him, so I don’t know if that was said or not said, or whatever”. And while he was on the hook for another score Sunday, Chip Kelly seemed happy with his performance. That being said, Kelly’s reluctance to retaliate this week never stopped McCoy’s ego from turning their first game against one another into the title bout at Summerslam. It sounds like coach Chip Kelly expects Bradford’s results to continue to improve in the final three weeks as a result of Bradford’s growing experience in the offense.
WR Robert Woods posted his first 100-yard receiving day of the season Sunday.
The Eagles defense kept Shady contained for the majority of the second half, holding him out of the endzone.
The teams then traded field goals as the Eagles held a 17-10 halftime lead.
The lead didn’t last long, however, as Buffalo answered with another field goal.
