Move over, Thanksgiving leftovers; a new Buffalo dish named after James Cook has arrived! On Sunday, the Bills’ second-year running back performed a culinary masterpiece, slicing up the Dallas Cowboys’ defense like a Thanksgiving turkey and driving the team to a commanding 31-10 victory.
NFL Thanksgiving: Bills Gobble Up Cowboys, Dallas Secures Playoff Spot Despite Loss
Cook wasn’t just loading the stat sheet; he was deep-frying it. Early in the second quarter, he grabbed an 18-yard throw from Josh Allen, demonstrating that his hands are as sticky as maple syrup. But don’t be fooled into thinking he’s one-dimensional — this guy can run! Later in the fourth quarter, he broke free for a 24-yard touchdown run, leaving Cowboys defenders grabbing for air like stale breadsticks.
Cook, however, was not the only Bills player delivering the heat. Josh Allen, as head chef, orchestrates the offense with surgical precision. Sure, he only threw for 94 yards, but comparing him to a five-star restaurant serving only appetizers is absurd.
He threw a touchdown and sprinted for another, marking his 10th game this season with a passing and rushing touchdown – more than any other quarterback in NFL history!
Meanwhile, the Bills’ defense was putting in more effort than Aunt Edna after a pecan pie binge. They limited the Cowboys’ high-powered offense to only 195 yards and 14 first downs. Dak Prescott looked more like a lost tourist than the brilliant quarterback he is, passing for 134 yards and an interception. At the same time, CeeDee Lamb’s sole touchdown was a modest 3-yarder that was about as exciting as discovering a mushy cranberry in your stuffing.
This victory was more than avenging last year’s playoff loss; it made a statement. The Bills proved a formidable opponent, a squad with bite and fire in their guts. They’re not just watching the game; they’re devouring it, and the Cowboys were only the next course.
But hold on, there’s more! The drama unfolded across the league while the Bills were dining in Orchard Park. Despite the setback, the Dallas Cowboys won a postseason position owing to two Thanksgiving miracles: the Atlanta Falcons’ loss and the Green Bay Packers’ fumble-fest. Cowboys fans experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, like discovering a surprise Brussels sprouts under your mashed potatoes – bitter but curiously delicious.
Raise a glass of Bills-blue Kool-Aid and toast to James Cook, Orchard Park’s new culinary monarch! Remember that anything can happen on NFL Sundays, and sometimes the underdog gets served up a sizzling hot triumph, leaving the favorites with nothing but crumbs and despair. Who’s up for some more football action now?
