Bills Establish 'Identity' Behind James Cook and Dominant Running Game in 40-9 Rout of Panthers
James Cook's 216 rushing yards and two touchdowns powered the Bills' dominant 40-9 win, with defense adding three takeaways and seven sacks, improving their AFC East standing.
- In Charlotte, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-9 win on Sunday.
- Facing inconsistent passing, Josh Allen took two first-half sacks and receivers struggled, so Sean McDermott and coaches prioritized getting James Cook more involved.
- By halftime, James Cook had 158 rushing yards on 12 carries and a 64-yard touchdown, while Buffalo's defense produced three takeaways and seven sacks, including plays by Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa, and Deone Walker.
- Buffalo now sits at 5-2 overall and remains second in the AFC East, but Ed Oliver left with a left biceps injury and was ruled out before facing Kansas City Chiefs.
- Cook's emergence in keeping defenses off balance and Josh Allen surpassing Cam Newton in combined passing and rushing touchdowns suggest the Bills may rely more on the run or consider moves before the trade deadline.
