Cook's Power Propels Bills Past Browns, Towards Playoffs
21 Dec
Summary
- James Cook rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns.
- Josh Allen played through a significant foot injury.
- Myles Garrett is one sack away from the single-season record.

The Buffalo Bills took a significant stride toward securing a playoff spot by defeating the Cleveland Browns 23-20. Running back James Cook was instrumental in the victory, accumulating 117 rushing yards and scoring two touchdowns. Quarterback Josh Allen demonstrated toughness by continuing to play in the second half despite suffering a foot injury late in the first quarter.
The Bills' offense saw contributions beyond Cook, with Ty Johnson also adding a rushing touchdown. Allen's injury occurred after a sack by Myles Garrett and Alex Wright, highlighting a notable defensive play by Garrett who is now on the verge of breaking the single-season sack record. Despite the injury, Allen managed to contribute through the air and on the ground.
The game also featured strong performances from the Browns' Shedeur Sanders, who scored a touchdown and led the team in rushing, and tight end Harold Fannin Jr., who scored both of Cleveland's touchdowns. However, two interceptions thrown by Sanders proved costly, directly leading to points for the Bills, including a field goal and a touchdown drive.
