Heading into their contest with the Buffalo Bills last Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals must’ve been licking their chops. All the ingredients were there for the unit to have a dominant, shut-down performance.
The Bills best wide receiver, Sammy Watkins, would be out, a huge blow to their aerial attack. They’d also be missing their best offensive lineman, Cordy Glenn.
They still had talented running back LeSean McCoy. But without much of a passing attack you had to figure the Cards would bottle him up. That turned out to be nothing but wishful thinking.
McCoy ravaged Arizona’s defense, gushing them for 110 yards on only 17 carries.
