ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — It took a while for the Buffalo Bills to get going, but after falling behind 7-0 in the first quarter, they scored 10 straight points and took the lead with a 5-yard rushing touchdown by James Cooking.

The Bills scored points on each of their first possessions, first with a 26-yard field goal by Tyler Bass after a 12-play drive.

On the ensuing drive, the Bills’ offense gained 81 yards on 13 plays, including a 9-yard rush by quarterback Josh Allen on third-and-3 to set up Cook’s touchdown.

The third-year running back had nine carries for 60 yards after his score. Early in the drive, Cook had a 16-yard run, gaining 12.5 yards after contact, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

Cook had 3 yards after contact for his touchdown. After his TD, he had 27 rushing yards after contact, already his fourth-highest total in a game this season.
