When the Buffalo Bills play the Philadelphia Eagles, it usually isn’t a huge deal but this time around will be very different as former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy returns to Philadelphia to face his former team as the 6-6 Bills play the 5-7 Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Both teams have a chance to make the playoffs and a win in this game would go a long way towards achieving those goals.
Buffalo broke a two-game losing streak last week with a 30-21 win over Houston. McCoy has rushed for 739 yards and three touchdowns in his first season with the Bills while Tyrod Taylor has thrown for 2,171 yards and 17 touchdowns on the year with just four interceptions. Sammy Watkins has had injury issues but still has 34 catches for 635 yards and six touchdowns. The Bills are one game out of the playoffs and need to jump over at least two teams. A win is almost a must in this game.
Philadelphia broke a three-game losing streak with a shocking 35-28 at New England last week. The Eagles are in a three-way tie for the lead in the NFC East even with their 5-7 record. Sam Bradford has thrown for 2,417 yards, 13 touchdowns and ten interceptions this year. DeMarco Murray hasn’t been happy with his role in Philly and has rushed for just 569 yards and four touchdowns while Jordan Matthews has turned into a solid receiving option with 61 catches for 661 yards and four touchdowns. This is a key game with some tough contests coming up after this one.
