CMS has recently reported a moderate excess in the $\mu\nu jj$ final state in a second generation Leptoquark search, but they have disregarded it because the excess is not present in the $\mu\mu jj$ final state and because they do not observe the expected resonant peak in the distributions. As a proof of concept we show that a simple Leptoquark model including second and third generation couplings with non-negligible single- and non-resonant production in addition to usual pair production could explain the data: excess ($\mu\nu jj$), lack of excess ($\mu\mu jj$) and missing peak in the distributions; while being in agreement with collider constraints. We take this result and analysis as a starting point of a reconsideration of the ATLAS and CMS second generation Leptoquark searches. We also discuss which would be the consequences and modifications that should be performed in the searches to test if this deviation would correspond to a New Physics signal. We observe that low-energy flavor constraints can be avoided by adding heavier particles to the model.
