Josh Allen sees 'the same James Cook' after Bills' contract extension

Cook's success running the ball lessens the burden on Allen, and it makes the high-octane offense that much more dangerous. The 2022 second-round draft pick has become a threat to take it the distance at any moment.

Although his longest rush against Miami was 26 yards, Cook almost had himself a couple of long TD runs, according to his quarterback.

"Wants the ball. Ultimate competitor. There's times where I toss it to him, I hand it off to him, and I already put my hands up, because I feel like he's about to crib it," said Allen. "There's two that were real close tonight, real close, and he'll tell you that, too. He's been such a catalyst for our offense. Special player."

Averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 1.3 touchdowns per game, Cook is on pace for a third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. The production is what the Bills have come to expect from their RB1.
