passing just before halftime in Jacksonville.The Jaguars fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter of Sunday’s game http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jordan-poyer-jersey , but got back into it with back-to-back touchdown drives that 148 yards over 17 plays. They ran the ball on 16 of those plays and Leonard Fournette capped both drives with touchdown runs that tied the score at 14-14.Jacksonville got the ball back with a chance to take the lead and moved the ball to midfield when they asked Blake Bortles to throw the ball. That didn’t go well for them as Bills linebacker Matt Milano picked off the pass.Bortles was 5-of-8 for 31 yards on the half, which is less yards than Fournette, Chris Ivory and wide receiver Dede Westbrook have run for individually. That interception may lead to even more work on the ground over the next 30 minutes and that would probably work well given the 173 yards they’ve already picked up on Sunday.The interception didn’t hurt the Jags on the scoreboard as the Bills couldn’t score. They hurt themselves with a penalty to start the drive and flags on offense have been an issue all day for Buffalo. They were bailed out by another penalty later in the drive when Jalen Ramsey was flagged for illegal contact on a pass he intercepted.It was Ramsey’s second penalty of the day as he faces Allen for the first time since calling him trash and Ramsey could be seen telling the Bills bench “you trash” after the penalty was called on him with three seconds to go in the half.Analysis: Buffalo Bills running back Marcus Murphy was good against Cincinnati Bengals Following Week three of the preseason, the Buffalo Bills are looking for flickers of hope after a dismal performance against the Cincinnati Bengals. Running back Marcus Murphy is one such flicker. With the offense living and dying on the back of LeSean McCoy, the depth of this position group is unusually important in Buffalo. Thus far, Murphy has helped alleviate some of the dread of the ever present threat of a McCoy injury. Play 1With the less-than-stellar reviews of the offensive line so far Womens Ryan Groy Jersey , let’s start out journey with Marcus Murphy’s blocking ability. With a stunting lineman trying to find a gap, Murphy steps up and uses good leverage to stop his man in his tracks. Josh Allen still goes down, but not because of Murphy. In fact, Murphy’s block provided breathing room if Allen could have drifted in that direction. Murphy also slips off after the impact and accelerates right away. Play 2Carlos Dunlap has a hell of a sidestep that looks to be taking him right around Jordan Mills. Mills’s right foot isn’t making me comfortable that he’ll be able to reset in time to prevent Dunlap from coming free at Josh Allen. Marcus Murphy isn’t quite as well favored by physics as he was last play, but cleanly stops Dunlap from encroaching further. Mills resets and Dunlap’s pass rush is negated. This is a perfect demonstration of scheming a chip in to help a lineman beat a one on one. Play 3This isn’t a route that will “wow,” but it’s certainly adequate at worst and pretty good for a running back at best. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll hasn’t been shy about moving players around. Marcus Murphy saw enough time as a receiver to suspect it’s not just a gimmick. Note that Murphy begins blocking as Charles Clay catches the ball Womens Vladimir Ducasse Jersey , essentially making Murphy a shifty fullback on this play. Murphy was targeted twice, catching both passes for seven total yards. Play 4The Bengals’ ability to rush during the game works against them a bit on this play. One, arguably two, defenders are so quick to cut into the offensive line that they take themselves out of run support. This isn’t to suggest that Murphy didn’t do some great things here, because he definitely does. He finds his lane and uses some subtle moves to navigate a narrow corridor. Murphy breaks one arm tackle on his way through and wills the pile to a first down. Play 5There’s no hesitation as Murphy hits the hole. Any slower and Dunlap hits him head-on rather than the side. Murphy is a decisive runner and will exploit narrow openings when they’re present. Take a second look and see how Murphy pulls the much larger Dunlap a couple extra yards. Murphy then finishes the play by spinning around to protect himself. Play 6The play pauses briefly to show that the front four of the Bengals is blocked well by the Buffalo offensive line. They’ve managed to create a pretty gigantic lane, and Murphyexplodes through it. Charles Clay is in as the lead blocker Authentic Dion Dawkins Jersey , negating Nick Vigil. Ultimately, a good play design and execution is beaten by a better design and execution. Strong safety Shawn Williams is coming in hot, and it’s one too many Bengals to block. Murphy is able to fall forward at least, but credit goes to the Bengals. Play 7LeSean McCoy likely bounces this one outside with a nice sidestep at speed and makes something off the left edge. It’s not necessarily going to be a big play, but something. Murphy’s decisiveness works against him as he plows right into the pile, going nowhere. Despite this pitfall Authentic LeSean McCoy Jersey , Murphy brings a nice skill set to the table. It’s looking like a safe bet that he finds himself as the third running back on the depth chart, at least, when the regular season starts.
