Is what we saw in Week 1 a predictor for what’s to come for the Bills this season? Bills analysts John Murphy and Chris Brown share their opinions in this week’s edition of Fact or Fiction.
John Murphy: Fiction: That's an awful lot of touches. If Shady winds up with 450 touches at the end of the season, that would be a 23% increase over his previous high workload--he had 366 carries and receptions four years ago. Last year, the Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott lead the league with 21.5 touches per game. So at age 29, it's probably unrealistic to think McCoy could survive that kind of a workload.
