Bills Announce James Cook Development Ahead of Patriots Game

Roughly one month into the 2025 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills have been dominant and are looking like one of the top teams in the league. They are 4-0 and are one of two NFL teams still undefeated, along with the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles.

What makes Buffalo a great team to start is that they are clicking on all cylinders and are dominating in nearly every area of the game. Offensively, their 404 total yards per game rank as the second-best in the league, only behind the Dallas Cowboys' 404.3 yards, and their 33.3 points per game are also the second-best behind the Detroit Lions. Furthermore, the Bills statistically have the best passing defense in the league so far, allowing just 125.8 yards per game.

Another big reason for the Bills' success is the hot start running back James Cook has been on. The Florida native earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance last season, and he is carrying that momentum into this season as well.

Through the first four games of the season, Cook has recorded 401 rushing yards (second-most in the NFL behind Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor) and a league-leading five rushing touchdowns. He has also caught 12 receptions for 89 yards. Currently, the Bills' 163.5 rushing yards per game lead the league, and Cook is a major reason for that.

Ahead of Buffalo's Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots, the team announced news about their running back following his incredible performances.
