The Buffalo Bills weighed the risks in their regular-season finale, opting for a conservative route regarding their players’ health. Josh Allen, as a prime example, played just one snap, handing the football off to James Cook for a 10-yard gain.
Cook got the next carry for five yards, and then his day was done. Cook finished his 2025 campaign with 1,621 rushing yards, hoping that a 149-yard lead on Derrick Henry would be enough to keep the league rushing title.
Henry got off to a strong start, eclipsing the 100-yard mark in the first half of the regular-season finale on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
