#3 The presence of LeSean McCoy…..maybe

We all know about the controversy that is surrounding Bills running back LeSean McCoy and the allegations presented to the public by his ex-girlfriend. McCoy did not see the field in week one of the preseason, probably because of this elephant in the room along with his veteran status on the team.

More from NFL News

We don’t necessarily know if McCoy will see the field in Cleveland but for the Bills fans near and far, it might be imperative that he does get some reps.

The Bills are not equipped with a juggernaut offensive unit and in McCoy, the Bills are flowing a lot of what is done on offense through his talents.

He has been the catalyst behind an offense that was sixth, first, and first in rush yards per game in each of the past three seasons. So yes, he is draped with importance. Which also means that reps on the field is essential to the team’s future and possibly his well-being as a person.

If McCoy doesn’t see the field this week, expect to see a heavy dose of carries for Chris Ivory against Cleveland.
