ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo Bills are perfect with Willis McGahee as their starter.
McGahee provided the spark the Bills needed offensively, running for 102 yards and two touchdowns to lead Buffalo to a 38-14 win over Arizona on Sunday.
In two starts this season, McGahee has two 100-yard games and has led the Bills (2-5) to both of their victories.
The Cardinals (2-5) continue to struggle away from home, after a big 25-17 win over Seattle in Arizona last week. The loss was Arizona's 17th straight on the road, the worst current streak in the NFL, dating back to their win at Carolina on Oct. 6, 2002.
Terrence McGee had an 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, Eric Moulds an 8-yard scoring catch and rookie tight end Tim Euhus added a 12-yard touchdown reception, helping the Bills score their most points since a 38-17 win over Jacksonville in Week 2 of last season.
McGahee, a first-round pick in 2003, is having an impressive debut season after missing his entire rookie year recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee.
He had combined for 169 yards rushing in his previous two outings, including an 111-yard effort in Buffalo's 20-13 win over Miami on Oct. 17. That was enough for coach Mike Mularkey to name McGahee his starter this week ahead of four-year veteran Travis Henry.
McGahee delivered, helping ignite an offense that was averaging a league-worst 13 points a game.
Not much appears to have changed since the Cardinals last visited Buffalo, losing 45-14 on Nov. 11, 1990.
On Sunday, the Cardinals were undone by their own mistakes and plagued by the weather. Emmitt Smith had 64 yards rushing and Arizona managed just 213 yards of total offense in a game played in a persistent rain and 20-plus mph winds gusting in off of nearby Lake Erie.
The Cardinals also had 14 penalties for 101 yards.
Josh McCown finished 9-of-24 for 101 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown pass to Bryant Johnson with four minutes left.
Obafemi Ayanbadejo had a 4-yard scoring run that cut the Bills lead to 10-7 midway through the second quarter.
Buffalo responded immediately when McGee scored on the ensuing kickoff, his second touchdown return of the season.
The game was all but decided with six minutes left in the third quarter. Trailing 17-7, the Cardinals failed on fourth-and-7 at the Bills 43, when Anquan Boldin had a pass fall out of his hands.
Boldin, the NFL's rookie of the year last season, finished with 50 yards receiving in his season debut.
The Bills followed the failed drive with three touchdowns in the span of eight minutes in the fourth quarter, capped by McGahee's 1-yard plunge.
McGahee's first score came on a 4-yard run that put the Bills ahead 10-0. The touchdown capped a five-play, 55-yard drive in which McGahee accounted for 50 yards, and included 23- and 24-yard runs.
The Bills were down to three receivers after Josh Reed left the game after hyperextending his left knee returning a punt two minutes into the game.
