Overview

• Buffalo moved to 4-0 with a 31-19 win over the Saints, where James Cook ran 22 times for 117 yards and a touchdown at 5.3 yards per carry.
• Cook has 401 rushing yards and a league-leading five rushing touchdowns through four games, ranking second in yards, 13 behind Jonathan Taylor.
• His touchdown in Week 4 pushed his franchise-record streak to eight consecutive games with a rushing score.
• Offensive coordinator Joe Brady praised Cook’s vision and said he will manage carries, integrating Ray Davis and Ty Johnson to keep Cook ready for January and February.
• Brady’s approach may temper Cook’s individual totals as touches are shared, reflecting a shift toward long-term durability and a more diversified attack.
