Seemingly in possession of the recipe needed to conquer their Florida-based AFC East foes, the Buffalo Bills — with a 9-1 record against Miami over the current decade — kept to a proven approach in Week 2: “Let James Cook.” Magnetized to the Dolphins’ endzone during a three-touchdown masterclass on Sept. 12, 2024, Cook turned a perfectly-designed flare out of the backfield’s opposite side into a 17-yard catch-and-run, before complementing it with a pair of powerful touchdown runs shortly thereafter. Becoming Buffalo’s first running back since 1992 to log three first-half scores, Cook finished the 31-10 win with 12 touches, 95 yards, and three touchdowns, thriving within Thursday Night Football’s primetime atmosphere.
