James Cook played what was easily the best game of his life against the Cowboys on Sunday.The Bills' second-year back generated 221 scrimmage yards and two scores during the Bills' 31-10 rout of Dallas. That was good for nearly two-thirds of Buffalo's total offense in the weather-affected game, and it went a long way toward bolstering with the easy win.Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who needed to complete just 7 of 15 pa ses for 94 yards and a score, gave all of the credit after the victory to Cook and his offensive line."I felt like the kid that didnt do anything in the cla s project and still got an A," Allen joked during a postgame news conference.MORE:Allen had the look of a kid just like that when Bills head coach Sean McDermott presented him with a Tony Carr Jersey game ball after the contest.
