ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — LeSean McCoy scored twice and safety Aaron Williams returned a botched field-goal snap 53 yards for a touchdown in leading the Buffalo Bills to a 33-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The win came on the heels of an 0-2 start that led to the firing of offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

McCoy scored on 24- and 5-yard runs, and finished with 110 yards rushing after combining for just 117 in his first two games. Tyrod Taylor had 76 yards rushing, including a 49-yarder – the longest by a quarterback in team history – and a 20-yard touchdown.

A week after allowing 493 yards in a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets, the Bills limited Arizona to 348 yards and closed the game by intercepting Carson Palmer on each of Arizona’s final four possessions.

Arizona (1-2) unraveled a week after a 40-7 win over Tampa Bay and had a five-game road winning streak snapped.
