LeSean McCoy Angrily Throws Helmet in Tunnel After Loss to Eagles
But Ed Reynolds intercepted Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor on a 3rd-and-8 play from Buffalo’s 33 with 1:16 left to seal the victory.
This Buffalo Bills-Philadelphia Eagles game had plenty of hype leading up to it. LeSean McCoy made his feelings known months ago when he was first traded to the Bills.
McCoy fled the scene in the postgame locker room Sunday night saying only “I got nothing to say to y’all”. The interception was Taylor’s first since October 4 and ended a pick-less streak at 222.
Early in the game, the Eagles had their hands full with wide receiver Sammy Watkins who scored on a 47-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.
The Eagles are 6-2 in the last eight games Bradford has started and finished.
“I feel more comfortable, more confident in what we’re doing”, said the 28-year-old quarterback.
“No, I never called McCoy this week”, Kelly said. It was an emotional game for the current Buffalo Bill as he heard a mixed reaction from fans.
The Buffalo Bills committed 15 penalties during yesterday’s 23-20 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with a handful more that were declined because the Eagles already had more than they needed to beat the Bills with.
Eagles punter Donnie Jones kept the Bills pinned inside their 20-yard line three times in the fourth quarter and twice inside the 10-yard line.
Caleb Sturgis kicked a 30-yard field goal to put the Eagles back on top with 3:26 to play, leaving the Birds’ defense two tries to close out the win.
“I got nothing to say”, McCoy said.
The Bills got the ball back with less than two minutes to go in the game.
Fast-forward to the waning moments of the Bills-Eagles Week 15 matchup, and it becomes clear LeSean McCoy is regretting some of the words that have been coming out of his mouth.
“We’ve got ourselves to blame on this one, ” said Bills Coach Rex Ryan. “We have horses up front that are ready to get off that ball”. They referenced Lurie’s instruction to “play angry” before the Eagles’ Week 13 win over New England.
The Bills playoff hopes are gone, though they aren’t mathematically eliminated, they are as good as gone. But in the first two contest of December, the defensive backs have held Tom Brady and Taylor in check to help the team earn a pair of bounce-back wins and a spot tied atop the NFC East.
RUNNING BACK ROTATION: DeMarco Murray makes the most money, but that won’t get him the most carries. Darren Sproles was the best of the bunch with 41 yards on seven carries.
After a forcing the Eagles to punt, Thigpen fumbled and Philadelphia recovered.
The Eagles had a first down at the Bills 24 on the next series before Bradford threw his first interception since October 25.
Sturgis converted another field goal to open the second half, this time from 41 yards to push the Eagles’ lead to 10.
“Yeah, we have [used pushups in practice], and we don’t make them [in practice]”, Ryan said after Sunday’s loss to the Eagles.
“I was laughing when I saw him being compared to (former Eagle) Jerome Brown but I’m not laughing now”, Ryan said. In the receiving end, Jordan Matthews had 36 yards and one touchdown in three catches while Sproles added 34 yards in four receptions. Robert Woods had one of his better games as a Bill.
