What's Next: Where Do the Bills Go From Here After Firing Sean McDermott?

Accrues 141 total yards in loss Cook rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Bills' 33-30 overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Cook put together an impressive day on the ground against an elite defense, finishing with his 10th 100-yard performance since the start of the regular season and bouncing back in noteworthy fashion from his 46-yard effort versus the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card victory. Cook's second-quarter lost fumble had a significant impact, however, as it came at the Broncos' 30-yard line and eventually led to a Denver touchdown. The disappointing team outcome aside, Cook's productive day Saturday was a fitting cap to what had been a career-best regular season, one where he won the NFL rushing yardage title with 1,621 yards while averaging 5.2 yards per carry, scored 12 rushing touchdowns, and generated a 33-291-2 line on 40 targets while committing six fumbles, losing three, across 17 games.
