LeSean McCoy turned in the strongest performance for a former Pitt player in NFL week nine…. LeSean McCoy turned in the strongest performance for a former Pitt player in NFL week nine.

McCoy (Pitt running back 2007-2008) carried the ball 16 times for 71 yards and added 46 yards on five receptions. He scored on a 33-yard rush in the third quarter. McCoy’s Monday night performance marks the fourth straight game — and seventh total game — where he has tallied over 100 total yards. He has also scored a touchdown every single game this season.

McCoy’s Philadelphia teammate Dion Lewis (Pitt running back 2009-2010) received only special teams play as he netted 93 kick return yards.

Larry Fitzgerald (Pitt wide receiver 2002-2003) ended his month-long scoring drought for Arizona with a 13-yard catch from backup quarterback John Skelton on Sunday. Fitzgerald managed 43 yards on four receptions in Arizona’s overtime victory over St. Louis. The elite receiver has not eclipsed the 100-yard mark since week four. Cardinals kickoff returner LaRod Stephens-Howling (Pitt running back 2005-2008) finished with just one carry for 4 yards. He remains explosive on special teams, turning in 73 kick return yards.

Fitzgerald, Stephens-Howling, Lewis and McCoy will face off in a battle of Pitt alumni next Sunday at 1 p.m. when Arizona travels to Philadelphia.

Darrelle Revis (Pitt cornerback 2004-2006) finished with two passes defended and five total tackles as his Jets dominated Buffalo. Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson — defended by Revis — chalked up 84 yards but was kept out of the end zone.

After a breakout game last week, Kansas City wide receiver Jon Baldwin (Pitt wide receiver 2008-2010) grabbed just one pass for 12 yards in a blowout loss to Miami.

Rookie Jabaal Sheard (Pitt defensive end 2007-2010) had three total tackles — one for a loss — in Cleveland’s loss to Houston.

Andy Lee (Pitt punter 2000-2003) punted the ball five times for 244 yards — landing one inside the 10-yard line — in a 49ers victory over Washington.
