After a three-game stretch against Arizona, San Diego and Miami where McKelvin averaged 21 yards on his 14 returns, he has erupted in the last three weeks against New York, New England and Cleveland. In those games he has 13 returns for 502 yards, an average of 38.6 yards.

This recent surge has vaulted McKelvin to third in the league with a 29.0 average and his 1,073 yards — already the seventh-best total in Bills history with six games still to be played — is the most in the league.
