Bills vs Eagles Final Scores, Highlights and Results: Philadelphia survives
Although Nelson Agholor scored his first-career touchdown on a 53-yard reception, the rookie wide receiver also dropped two passes. But for him to make the catch and run that he did, that’s just a bonus.
From his appearance as the only captain, to his refusal to talk to Chip Kelly to asking Richie Incognito to be more like “Miami Richie”, this game seemed to be a personal one for McCoy.
And so McCoy returns to Phillie today expecting to get booed by the Phillie fans but if his talk is real, he’s got to show up for this game.
Stoic Patriots coach Bill Belichick and boisterous Bills coach Rex Ryan are different in so many ways but similar in at least one: They both marvel at Eagles defensive end Fletcher Cox.
BILLS 7, EAGLES 7: Tyrod Taylor 47-yard pass to Sammy Watkins for the touchdown. “On Wednesday, McCoy said he stood by offseason comments he made about Kelly’s not respecting stars and getting rid of all the ‘good black players'”.
-The Bills pulled to within four when Dan Carpenter put a 38-yard field goal up and through to cap a nine-play 60-yard drive (14-10) with six minutes left in the half.
Sproles barreled in from the 1 after setting himself up with a 15-yard run. Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy took the field and literally kissed the turf, but left it kissing the very same turf in quite a different way, as the Bills stumbled out of Philly with a loss. “We have to take ownership of the fact that we did not get it done in crunch time”.
No team has challenged fewer calls this season than the Eagles, who are paying for a replay consultant in the coaches’ box.
The Bills playoff hopes are gone, though they aren’t mathematically eliminated, they are as good as gone.
Washington’s win guaranteed it’d technically finish Sunday night in first place. “You can’t have that many penalties obviously, and it’s a no-brainer when you jump offsides a zillion times and we got I don’t how many holding calls, but it looked like it was a record out there”. The Eagles are 1-0 when Murray – or Mathews – rushes for 100 or more yards. “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”.
But the Eagles stopped them anyway and then had one of the quickest three-and-outs of the year despite Darren Sproles setting them up with a 28-yard punt return to the 46 of the Bills.
The 6-5, 250-pound Ertz ran over cornerback Theodis McKelvin, thanks to a basketball pick by teammate Josh Huff, for a 41-yard gain giving the Eagles a first down at the 18-yard line of the Bills with 4:45 to. The Eagles turned the second-half kickoff into a 41-yard Sturgis field goal and a 10-point lead. Bills coach Rex Ryan compared him to former Eagles Pro Bowl lineman Jerome Brown, who played for Buddy Ryan. I called him, he didn’t answer my phone call and I don’t blame him. Added to his three previous starts, he’s 80-for-123 (65 percent) for 898 yards with five TDs, one interception and a 96.9 passer rating.
WR Robert Woods posted his first 100-yard receiving day of the season Sunday.
