Josh Allen snagged the Buffalo Bills a pair of wins as their starting quarterback, but LeSean McCoy says the team's offense it letting the defense down. The Bills are dead last in the NFL in scoring, averaging 12.7 points per contest. With that being said, it's hard to argue with McCoy.
Their offense doesn't do the best job of creating optimal field position for the other side of the ball. McCoy is a captain for the Bills, so it's part of his responsibilities to get the players around him to step it up.

That game last week, even taking it back to that Green Bay game with Aaron Rodgers and they kind of locked him up and we didn't do enough offensively to win that game. A lot of guys feel that, they feel like we're letting the defense down, and also the team. We just have to find a way to get it done.”
The Bills' defense ranks in the middle of the pack, giving up 22.3 points a game to opposing offenses. It's not exceptional, but it ranks them just outside of the top ten in the NFL this season. The 2-4 record the Bills have posted aren't indicative of what a well-rounded team they are.
LeSean McCoy is a Pro Bowl caliber running back. Yet somehow, he still hasn't scored a single touchdown this season. He's one of the best all-purpose backs in the NFL, so he needs to find a way to be effective if he wants his team to win some games at least.
