James Cook rushing yards: Look who's back. Cook escaped this chapter last week when his target dropped from 187 yards to 130. Then he ran for 135 against Detroit, passed Joe Cribbs, and moved into fifth place on the Bills' all-time rushing list with 4,451 career yards. His next target happens to be his own quarterback. Allen enters Sunday fourth on Buffalo's career rushing list with 4,813 yards. That means Cook would need 363 yards against the Chargers to pass him – and that's only if Allen doesn't move the target.

Cook needs 363 yards to pass Allen; would require breaking NFL record.

Cook ran for 135 yards against Detroit, passed Joe Cribbs, and moved into fifth place on the Bills' all-time rushing list with 4,451 career yards. His next target is Josh Allen, who sits fourth on Buffalo's career rushing list with 4,813 yards. Cook would need 363 yards against the Chargers to pass Allen—and that's only if Allen doesn't move the target. The NFL single-game rushing record is Adrian Peterson's 296 yards, so Cook would need to break that record by 67 yards to catch Allen. The source classifies this as 'Superhuman,' indicating it's not a realistic expectation.
