James Cook’s Fast Start Validates $48 Million Bills Extension
The fourth-year back has set the pace through three games with league-best production.
Overview
- Buffalo moved to 3-0 with a 31-21 win in Miami as Cook logged 19 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown.
- He leads the NFL entering the weekend with 284 rushing yards through three games.
- Cook’s four rushing touchdowns top the league, and he has tied a franchise mark with seven straight games with a rushing score.
- His 108-yard night ended the Dolphins’ NFL-best streak of 36 games without allowing a 100-yard rusher.
- The surge follows a resolved training-camp hold-in and a four-year, $48 million extension reportedly with $30 million guaranteed, a $12 million average that currently ranks seventh at running back, with coaches and Josh Allen praising his impact.
