The Dallas Cowboys may be at home during the NFL Playoffs, but one player has a strong rooting interest. Cowboys backup running back Dalvin Cook has been paying close attention to his brother, Buffalo Bills star James Cook, as the team took the field in the AFC Wild Card round.

Cook and the Bills hosted the Denver Broncos and Cook wasted no time making his impact felt in the postseason.

The NFL rushing touchdowns co-leader scored a touchdown in the first half to put the Bills ahead, 10-7, in the second quarter.

After Cook found the endzone, older brother Dalvin took to social media to campaign for James Cook to get a massive pay raise. Dalvin is campaigning for James to get $20 million a year.

While it is nice for brothers to look after brothers, $20 million per year is not going to happen.

For comparisons sake, Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley is getting $12.6 million per year, while the highest-paid running back. San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, earns $19 million per year.

But, it's nice to dream.
