LeSean McCoy

If the Bills are going to pull off the upset, LeSean McCoy will more than likely be a part of it. The Bills All-Pro running back has struggled at times this season, as he is averaging 3.9 yards per rush. However, we have seen him have some big games this season as he has plenty left in the tank.

McCoy has broken the 100-yard barrier three times this season, most recently against the Chargers when Taylor was benched. While he has struggled at times on the ground, he is still a dangerous player catching the ball out of the backfield.

In the first seven games of the season, McCoy caught at least three passes; he has caught only eight in the four games after. That could be something that the Bills look to get back to as the Patriots have been susceptible to pass-catching running backs. 10 running backs have caught at least three passes against New England this season, and McCoy could easily become No. 11.

For the season, the Patriots are giving up 115.1 yards per game. This could be a get right game for McCoy, who is looking to get on track after a slow game against the Chiefs last week.
