Bills dominate Cowboys on ground thanks to James Cook's career day: Result, reaction

Writer David Perry

Casual football fans will look at the box score Sunday and be thoroughly confused.

Hell, one of the teams in Highmark Stadium was outright flummoxed.

The Buffalo Bills ran all over the Dallas Cowboys, and Josh Allen didn’t leave the deepest cleat marks this time. James Cook continued his glow-up with an incandescent performance unseen from a Bills player in nearly 14 years to humiliate the Cowboys 31-10.

On a wet track, Cook rushed for 179 yards with a touchdown and added two receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown. Allen, meanwhile, ran for a touchdown and threw for another. That’s a pretty normal sight in a Buffalo box score this year, but he completed seven whole passes for 94 yards and ran for just 24 yards.

The thing is, Allen didn’t perform shabbily. The Bills simply chose not to throw because Cook was that luminous.

“I just let it rip,” Cook said. “My O-linemen, they was opening it up, and I was hitting it and finding that rhythm.”

Some fascinating numbers are not found in the box score.
