There’s always a Buffalo connection, right?
When the Chiefs and 49ers square off on Sunday evening in Super Bowl LIV, there’s a couple of Bills-related things to keep in mind.
Here are six Bills storylines to follow during the Big Game:
Will LeSean McCoy play?
The Bills cut running back LeSean McCoy at the end of training camp. Most were surprised because the Bills backed him and his playing abilities until the very end. McCoy sings the praises of Bills Mafia, loving the fans that once rooted him on, but because of that backing only to be dumped, McCoy said this week that he wished the Bills’ front office were more honest with him.
But once things were all said and done with Buffalo, McCoy, a free agent, quickly signed with the Chiefs. Many pegged McCoy as a guy who would be a difference maker. Instead, he’s been anything but for KC. McCoy was healthy all season, but only played in 13 games, rushing for 465 yards with four rushing scores.
McCoy’s been inactive in several games this year, including down the stretch. He hasn’t had a carry since Week 15. In the Chiefs’ first playoff game, he was active, but didn’t see a touch. In the AFC title game vs. the Titans, he was inactive. So the question is simple. Does Shady suit up?
