FOXBORO — The Patriots faced LeSean McCoy in Week 2, but — excuse the obvious pun — they didn’t see the real McCoy.
At the beginning of the season, the running back acquired by the Bills in a trade with the Eagles was hampered by a lingering hamstring injury. For a player like McCoy, whose calling card is his ability to make cuts within cuts and slip tacklers in tight spaces, that injury severely cramped his style.
He still played well against the Pats in the 40-32 loss in Orchard Park, N.Y., with 15 carries for 89 yards and three receptions for another 27.
