Buffalo Bills at Philadelphia Eagles: Three Keys to the Game
McCoy has spit venom at his former head coach Chip Kelly and would love nothing more than to score big when we watch the Bills Eagles game live streaming or on TV. McCoy’s first run goes for seven yards and a first down.
“We talked about it as a coaching staff and in individual position meetings and in group settings of it’s important to play with emotion, but not to let emotion play with you”, Kelly said.
“I thought we were the better team today, but obviously we got beat”, he said, according to Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News. McCoy rushed for 74 yards on 20 carries, but his fastest run was off the field after the game.
In a Nutshell: The Bills came into Philadelphia with no margin for error regarding their AFC Wild Card playoff hopes.
ABOUT THE EAGLES (5-7): McCoy’s departure and the money saved in the transaction aided in Philadelphia acquiring quarterback Sam Bradford from St. Louis one week later, coach Chip Kelly confirmed on Thursday.
“Somebody still loves me around here”, McCoy said while grinning. They had to settle for a Dan Carpenter field goal after some miscues on offense.
-SPECIAL TEAMS: B-plus. Caleb Sturgis needed to be ideal and was, converting all three of his field goal attempts, including a 30-yard game-winner with 3:26 left. It was the first career rushing touchdown for Gillislee, who ran right by Eagles linebacker Kiko Alonso.
The Bills responded as Sammy Watkins got behind Byron Maxwell and hauled in Tyrod Taylor’s pass for a 47-yard touchdown as safety Ed Reynolds was late coming over.
Meanwhile the Eagles and Kelly might have to start worrying about keeping Bradford. Then Bradford threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor. “Maybe you were playing a team that has a lot of penalties going into the game, just statistically, when you look at it”.
“Penalties, we got ourselves to blame”.
“We had 15 penalties”. The trade that brought Bradford to Philadelphia from St. Louis occurred a week after the trade that sent McCoy to Buffalo. And the media reminded him of that recently just to make the encounter a little bit more interesting? Buffalo his 4th in the National Football League running the ball and McCoy leads the way averaging 4.6 yards per carry.
