The Buffalo Bills jumped out to a big lead during the first half against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football as the primetime game quite quickly turned into the James Cook Show.
By the time the halftime whistles sounded, Cook had rushed just five times for 60 yards and two rushing touchdowns, while catching one pass for 17 yards and another score. He led the fastest touchdown drive of the night during the second quarter, scoring on a 49-yard rush down the right sideline on the very first play of the possession.
After logging just two touchdown runs in both his rookie year in 2022 and his second season in 2023, Cook found the end zone twice on Thursday night before even visiting the locker room for halftime.

I have bad flashbacks to watching James Cook run all over this field in a certain National Semifinal in a certain year.
