LeSean McCoy Looks Quicker

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said running back LeSean McCoy looks "quicker, faster and more powerful than last year."

New York Jets newly-signed running back Isaiah Crowell is in line for a solid workload this season.

Baltimore Ravens veteran wide receiver Michael Crabtree caught his first pass from his new quarterback Joe Flacco, connecting for a 30-yard reception early in the first quarter.
