p 24-3 with 12:36 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Buffalo Bills were well on their way to finishing off a convincing performance at home against the Dallas Cowboys. After an impressive catch by wide receiver Stefon Diggs on third-and-8 and a 12 men on the field penalty on Dallas, quarterback Josh Allen handed the ball off to running back James Cook on first-and-5 from the Cowboys’ 24-yard line. He darted through a crowd of linemen, past a variety of additional Cowboys defenders and then flipped his way into the end zone.

Winning out gives the Bills (8-6) the best chance at making the playoffs, with a chance at catching the Dolphins (10-4) still intact. Getting there will require Buffalo building off this performance, including a Cook-led running game that has jumped significantly since the team changed coordinators over a month ago.
“We understand what position we’re in right now,” Allen said. “We gotta win games. It doesn’t matter how we get them done. “… We just trusted our guys up front and trusted our backs to make plays and they did.” While Allen said it wasn’t necessarily the team’s plan entering the week to run it at that level, rookie right guard O’Cyrus Torrence noted that the Bills were aware of how good the Cowboys’ pass rush is, and that staying out of third-and-long situations would be important.
