Bills RB Cook faces tough Rams run defense
13 Oct
Summary
- Rams' run defense has been elite since Week 2.
- James Cook may see limited touches against Los Angeles.
- Bills QB Josh Allen anticipates a challenging game against the Rams.
The Buffalo Bills are preparing for a challenging Week 5 matchup on the road against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. Buffalo enters the game as 3.5-point underdogs, coming off a recent loss and holding a 3-1 season record.
A key concern for the Bills is the performance of running back James Cook against the Rams' defense. Analyst Brandon Ray of FanSided suggests Cook may struggle, noting the Rams have significantly tightened their run defense since their Week 1 game, allowing an average of only 78 rushing yards per game from Weeks 2-4.
If the Rams' defense dictates the early game flow, Cook's involvement, particularly in the run game, could be limited. Quarterback Josh Allen expressed concerns about the Rams' overall defensive strength, highlighting their ability to generate pressure from various positions and their strong secondary. He anticipates a tough contest against a team that has consistently found success in the playoffs.
