ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Taking a few steps back led to LeSean McCoy enjoying more than a few big rushes forward.After a sputtering start to the season, the Buffalo Bills running back showed signs of regaining his footing by setting up deeper in the backfield. Having a fullback lined up in front of him didnt hurt either.I like to be the dot better, he said Wednesday, referring to his spot as the dot in the traditional I formation. They gave me the ball deep and let me be able to use my vision to read blocks.McCoy began resembling his old shifty self in sparking Buffalo (1-2) to a 33-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. He finished with 110 yards rushing -- nearly doubling the 117 yards he combined for in his first two games -- on 17 carries, and scored two touchdowns rushing, including the 50th of his career.McCoy credited the performance on Anthony Lynn, Buffalos running backs coach who was promoted to offensive coordinator after Greg Roman was fired on Sept. 16. Aside from simplifying the playbook, Lynn provided McCoy the freedom to choose which hole to run through rather than simply following the plays design, as was the case under Roman.Im not the biggest guy, McCoy said, referring to his 5-foot-11 frame. I like to pick if I can go inside or outside.Add in quarterback Tyrod Taylor running for 76 yards and a touchdown, Buffalo totaled 208 yards on the ground. It was the type of outing expected from an offense that led the NFL with 2,432 yards rushing last year.Its a huge confidence boost, guard Richie Incognito said. Thats our brand of football. Thats what were built for. Thats all what weve all been brought in to do.The challenge is to carry over the momentum to Sunday, when Buffalo travels to play AFC East rival New England (3-0).Despite the win over Arizona, the Bills have several issues still to address on offense.The passing attack has so far been mostly grounded. It ranks 32nd with 491 yards, and 155 of those came on two plays -- Marquise Goodwins 84-yard touchdown and Greg Salas 71-yard touchdown -- in a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets on Sept. 15.Then theres the uncertain status of Buffalos top receiving threat, Sammy Watkins. He did not play against Arizona after a teammate stepped on his surgically repaired left foot during a walk-through session last week. Watkins did not practice Wednesday.Buffalos offensive line is also limping.Starting left tackle Cordy Glenn practiced on a limited basis after missing the past two games with an injury to his left ankle. And Glenns backup, Cyrus Kouandjio, did not practice after hurting his ankle against Arizona.The Bills addressed their depth by signing tackle Michael Ola off the Giants practice squad. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 312 pounds, Ola has 19 starts in 23 career NFL games split between Chicago, Detroit and San Diego over the past two seasons.On the bright side, at least McCoy is healthy. Thats a switch from a year ago when the NFLs 2013 rushing leader opened the season bothered by a hamstring injury and closed the season hampered by a knee injury.Hes also relatively fresh after the Bills took a cautious approach in limiting McCoys practice time in training camp and playing time during the preseason.I dont think Im old, said McCoy, whos in his eighth NFL season and second in Buffalo after being acquired in a trade with Philadelphia.Im 28, McCoy said. Thirty-one is old.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Michael Carrick Jersey . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. Anthony Martial Manchester United Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. http://www.jerseymanchesterunitedsoccer.com/womens-diogo-dalot-manchester-united-jersey/ . Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. Romelu Lukaku Jersey . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Eric Bailly Manchester United Jersey . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend.
