3) Running Game

It may come as a surprise, but so far in the 2017 NFL season Bills running back, LeSean McCoy has yet to find the end zone dating back to week 17 of last season. McCoy will enter week 7 against the Buccaneers with only 279 rushing yards under his belt.

That is a huge difference in compared to last year where McCoy had 447 rushing yards through five weeks. It doesn’t help McCoy’s cause that left tackle Cordy Glenn didn’t take a single snap in yesterday’s game.

This decision of Glenn not playing was ultimately one of the major factors why the offense looked so bad at times on Sunday as McCoy finished with 63-yards on the ground and 26-yards receiving.
