James Cook could get less touches after mistake-filled game on Monday Night Football

James Cook's performance on Monday Night Football has left him with a heavy heart. The running back, known for his impressive stats, fumbled twice during the match, a mistake that nearly cost his team the victory. One of his fumbles occurred in overtime, which would have been disastrous for Buffalo if not for a blocked field goal.

Cook's fumbling issues are not new; he has fumbled six times last season and four times in the first five games of this season. His role isn't multifaceted, he's a runner who simply needs to run swiftly and handle the ball carefully. The coaching staff seems to be holding him more accountable for his mistakes, with shorter leash usage when he makes errors.

Cook's snap share has decreased from 56% last season to 70% this season, a potential decrease could further reduce his playing time. Despite his unfortunate fumble spree, the Bills still opted to entrust him with the ball on the game-winning drive. However, Cook's somber demeanor post-game makes it clear that he is hopeful he's only fumbled and not jeopardizing his role as Buffalo's main running back.
