Bills Confront James Cook's Fumble Spate as Playoff Push Begins
Team leaders say the turnovers must stop, with Joe Brady stressing they 'can't happen'.
Overview
- James Cook has logged consecutive multi‑fumble outings over Weeks 13 and 14, including red‑zone plays that wiped out scoring chances against the Bengals.
- Recent reports put his season total at a career‑high six fumbles after entering Week 13 with just two, marking a sudden spike in ball‑security issues.
- Josh Allen acknowledged some responsibility on a botched handoff, saying he could have delivered the ball sooner and could 'take some blame in that.'
- Offensive coordinator Joe Brady addressed the issue publicly, saying turnovers are 'far too many right now' while maintaining confidence in Cook.
- Despite the miscues, Cook leads the NFL in rushing attempts and has 1,308 yards, and though Buffalo mixes in Ty Johnson and Ray Davis, this remains his backfield heading into a pivotal matchup with New England.
