Running Game

We knew going into this game that the Panthers run defense is something to keep an eye on. But we didn’t expect they’d be this good.

Star linebacker, Luke Kuechly, and company, held Bills running back LeSean McCoy to nine yards on twelve carries, as well as 34 receiving yards on six catches. Former Panther Mike Tolbert wasn’t much better, Tolbert tallied five yards on three carries and one catch for two yards.

The  Buffalo Bills didn’t have a running game at all this afternoon, after a 190-yard performance against the Jets in the season opener, today Buffalo raked in a  sorrowful 69 rushing yards. The Bills run game will have to improve next week as they host Von Miller and the Denver Broncos.
