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 DolphinsNFL-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.
