In Week 8, James Cook exploded for a career-high 216 rushing yards and 2 TDs on just 19 carries, leading the Buffalo Bills to a dominant 40-9 rout of the Carolina Panthers! Cook's vision, speed, and elusiveness were on full display, generating +121 rushing yards over expected – the 4th-most in a single game since 2018. This performance cements him as the engine of Buffalo's attack, proving why the Bills are 4-0 when he tops 100 yards rushing this season.

But what's up with MVP QB Josh Allen? After a rocky stretch with back-to-back losses pre-bye, Allen bounced back with 2 rushing TDs of his own and crisp decision-making under center. Is he shaking off the slump, or is Cook's workload the key to unlocking the passing game?

Cook's Dominance: 853 total rushing yards & 7 TDs through 7 games (6.7 YPC) – the Bills are 5-0 when he scores!

Allen’s Rhythm: EPA jumps to 0.347/play when Cook gets 15+ touches. Feed the beast!

O-Line Magic: Shoutout to the trenches for opening massive holes – toss plays, inside zones, and counters had Cook cooking.

Is this the identity OC Joe Brady's been building? Or just a one-game outlier? Bills Mafia, what's your take? Drop a comment: Is Cook RB1 in the league? And Josh – back to MVP form or needs more run support?
