One year after leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has earned his first-career rushing yards championship. Cook signed a four-year contract extension just before this season and rewarded the Buffalo by becoming the first Bill to win the NFL rushing title since O.J. Simpson in 1976.

Cook eclipsed 100 rushing yards on nine different occasions and had four multi-rushing touchdown games. His best performance came in a Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers, when he rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Cook is one of 17 running backs to rush for at least 1,000 yards in the 2025-26 season. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
