Bills offense is ‘Cooking,’ with running game adding a powerful new dimension

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen may be hard-pressed to top 4,000 yards passing for a fifth consecutive season. As much as the five-time defending AFC East champion Bills rely on Allen to run what’s still a highly productive offense that’s averaging 31.3 points per outing, a James Cook-led running attack has provided Buffalo an added dimension. Allen’s passing numbers have dipped — he’s averaging 237 yards per outing, as opposed to 284 in 2020 when he shattered the Bills single-season record. It also gives the Bills a ball-control dimension to ease the load from a patchwork and injury-depleted defense, which should be McDermott’s most pressing concern entering the playoffs. The Bills were second-guessed for kicking off into the end zone, allowing the Chiefs to gain 44 yards on two plays in the final 13 seconds to set up Harrison Butker’s game-tying 49-yard field goal.
