He did what was asked of him and handed the ball off to Willis McGahee most of the time. Bledsoe was 8/17 for 81 yards and threw 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. He did throw a few terrible passes and should have been intercepted by David Macklin, but overall, he did not lose the game. The touchdowns helped raise the grade. <b>Grade: B-</b> <p><b>Running Backs:</b> The Buffalo Bills finally have a running game. Both times that Willis McGahee has started he has ran for over 100 yards each time. He also broke the terrible streak of no rushing touchdowns for the Bills since last season. This was the first time a running back has scored a rushing touchdown since December 7, 2003 against the Jets. Willis McGahee scored 2 of them. He didn’t consistently run 4 or 5 yards each time, but he has some tough runs and also a couple long ones to get him over the 100-yard mark. McGahee had 30 carries for 102 yards rushing and also caught 1 pass for 9 yards. Joe Burns finished the game in garbage time and had 4 carries for 27 yards. Travis Henry hardly ever saw the field, and had only 1 carry for 2 yards. Daimon Shelton made some solid blocks for McGahee and even sprung him for his first touchdown of the game. Shelton also caught 1 pass for 2 yards. <b>Grade: A</b> </p> CLICK HERE FOR MORE... (http://www.billszone.com/mtlog/archives/2004/11/01/bills_zoneas_postgame_report_card_bills_vs_cardinals.php)
