Kelly denies Inquirer report that he called McCoy
ON the ground, LeSean McCoy rushed for 112 yards in 21 attempts. Big game down in South Philly today, here is what I saw in the first half. I can tell you this – a lot of things happen, emotional things happen after games.
Bradford threw for 247 yards, including a 53-yard TD to Nelson Agholor.
Eagles safety Ed Reynolds, a fifth round draft pick previous year, sealed the game with a late interception.
“I feel more comfortable, more confident in what we’re doing”, he said.
The LeSean McCoy-Chip Kelly feud has been noticeably one-sided, which makes sense: Shady is nearly half the age of his former coach.
“No, I never called McCoy this week”, Kelly said. Buffalo also made McCoy the sole team captain for the game.
Unfortunately, the visitors were unable to score again while Eagles placekicker Caleb Sturgis scored a field goal with more than three minutes remaining to seal the win.
Yet had the Bills won and McCoy had a good game, would he have faced the Philadelphia media triumphantly?
The Bills rallied from a 20-10 deficit in the third quarter and tied it on Mike Gillislee’s 19-yard TD run. In the receiving end, Jordan Matthews had 36 yards and one touchdown in three catches while Sproles added 34 yards in four receptions.
“We had 15 penalties”.
“From our perspective, we couldn’t be happier with (the trade)”, Buffalo coach Rex Ryan said of McCoy, who was acquired in March for linebacker Kiko Alonso. “It was a disgrace that we had too many penalties”. They control their hopes. Yes, they’re in first place. He was seen greeting some Eagles fans in the tunnel, hugging owner Jeffrey Lurie on the field, and even kissing the Eagle painted at centerfield before the game.
McCoy entered the day with 1,041 total yards and five total touchdowns for Buffalo, while the DeMarco Murray signing has been a disaster for the Eagles. First, Bills returner Marcus Thigpen muffed a punt and the Eagles recovered on their Bills 37. The Buffalo Bills’ left guard has slowed down most every defensive lineman who has stepped in front of him.
“They made that play”. “I was laughing when I saw him being compared to [former Eagle] Jerome Brown, but I’m not laughing now”.
-PASS DEFENSE: B. The Eagles gave up a 47-yard touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins in the first quarter, but then buckled down after that.
This feud came to an ugly head when the Eagles faced the Bills.
