Josh Allen and James Cook Near Career Rushing Milestones Against Vikings

Josh Allen and James Cook career rushing milestones against Vikings, Digi Mart USA News: There are plenty of top offensive duos, and sometimes trios, in today’s NFL. Most are typically a quarterback and wide receiver combination, but the Buffalo Bills have one of the best quarterback and running back duos with Josh Allen and James Cook.

Tonight, they will face an extremely tough Minnesota Vikings defense that has been pushing opponents around all season. However, Buffalo’s offense has been lighting up the scoreboard, so fans are in for a real treat.

When this duo gets going, they are nearly impossible to stop. Cook is averaging over 5 yards per carry, and when Allen scrambles out of the pocket, he does major damage to defenses.

Although the Vikings blitz heavily, they are allowing 116 rushing yards per game, which sets up a strong matchup for both players on the ground.

Buffalo has had only two games without at least 100 rushing yards, and two games with more than 200 rushing yards. The Bills have no trouble throwing the ball down the field, but the primary focus should be establishing the run to set up play-action.

That is Buffalo’s biggest key for the offense.

If the Bills focus on the rushing attack, Bills Mafia could see both Allen and Cook reach career milestones on the ground.

According to the Buffalo Bills’ public relations team, Allen enters this game with 4,991 career rushing yards, and Cook sits at 4,966 career rushing yards. Both players could surpass 5,000 career rushing yards.

Both are already in the top five in franchise history in rushing yards, which is remarkable given that Allen is in the middle of his prime and Cook is at the front end of his.

If Allen reaches 5,000 career rushing yards in this game, he will join Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson as the only quarterbacks in history with at least 5,000 rushing yards.

With Minnesota’s run defense being a bit of a liability, and the risk the Vikings take with consistent blitzing, the Bills would be wise to establish the run and get both Allen and Cook going. Buffalo could also work in Ray Davis and Ty Johnson to keep Minnesota off-balance.
