Buffalo Bills’ Offense Breaks Another Franchise Record
By Ryan Brennan
LeSean McCoy has been on a tear this season and it didn’t stop vs. the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Eve.
There’s no way around it anymore, LeSean McCoy is one of the best running backs in the NFL and seems to be healthier than ever. His cuts are looking like they did in Philly, his speed is making defenses miss and his offensive line makes it all that much easier for McCoy.
Not only on pace for the second best rushing season of his career, McCoy has also already totaled his second highest rushing touchdown total in his career. With 1,257 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground this season, he only needs 63 yards to surpass his second best career total in a single season.
Last week was yet another strong one for McCoy, who has been proving his doubters wrong all season long. Coming off his best game this year vs. the Browns, where he amassed 153 yards and two touchdowns while adding 16 receiving yards, McCoy totaled 128 yards and one touchdown vs. the Dolphins in Week 16.

He now has 7 100-yard rushing games this season in just 14 games. What’s even more incredible about that statistic is that he only totaled more than 20 carries in one of those games — he had 24 carries vs. the Dolphins last week. His only other game this year with 20+ carries was his 21 vs. the Seattle Seahawks, where he only totaled 85 yards on the ground and no touchdowns.
To add to the success, McCoy has 7 touchdowns since that Monday night game vs. the Seahawks. That’s a pretty incredible stat considering he has only played in 6 games since then. His 4 games with at least 2 TD is admirable, but even more so because he finished those games with over 100 yards as well. He also had a 3 TD game this season vs. the 49ers.
It has truly been a storied season for LeSean McCoy this season as he continues to look more and more like his old self. He will look to end the year on a good note vs. the Jets on Sunday, but hopefully he plays. He didn’t practice on Wednesday due to being sick.
Good luck Shady!
