Two Bills Drive

‘With the defense getting after Andy Dalton, all eyes were on the offense, and it was James Cook with his 216 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with Khalil Shakir, who posted 88 yards and a touchdown from his six receptions, who did the most damage.’

‘At halftime, Keon hasn’t even had a catch in Carolina and has only had one target. Yes, you read that right.’

‘Oliver sustained what appears to be an arm injury in the second quarter and is getting checked out in the medical tent upon leaving the field.’

‘The star running back has 153 rushing yards in the first half, which is the most a Bills’ running back has had in the first half since 1992. The Bills have gone to Cook early and often, as he has 12 carries thus far.’

‘After a wobbly first half that saw the Bills lead 19-3, in the second half, Joe Brady’s offense and the defense clicked through the gears, scoring 21 points in the third quarter, to put the Panthers away.’

‘“I thought it was complementary, James [Cook] is playing outstanding right now,” Allen said. “Our O-line’s giving him a lot of holes, but he’s just making some unbelievable cuts and outrunning people, doing what James Cook does.”’

‘That’s an average of 11.4 yards per carry, and he did it without playing in the fourth quarter with the Bills in total control.’

‘Video was captured that showed Bills star offensive lineman getting into it afterward with Panthers lineman A’Shawn Robinson.’

‘This marked the 46th game of his career with at least one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown.’

‘It’s a big loss, especially against a Panthers team that has a strong running game to use to try to mount a comeback.’

‘The blowout win, as well as Cook’s performance, were the stories of the day. However, activities after the game between the two sides, as Dion Dawkins was involved in a fight with several Panthers.’
