Bills say NFL rushing champion could lose carries if fumbles continue
James Cook has 11 fumbles since the start of last season and Bills head coach Joe Brady warned that Cook's carries could decrease if fumbles continue.
Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady has warned that reigning NFL rushing champion James Cook could see a decrease in carries if his fumbling continues. Cook has fumbled four times in five games, including twice against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. Brady addressed Cook's ball security in three media availabilities since Buffalo's 37-34 overtime victory.
Despite Cook being the NFL's leading rusher with 1,621 yards last season, Brady emphasized that they must work on improving Cook's fumble reduction. Cook acknowledged his mistake and vowed to take more care of the ball. Brady reiterated that Cook remains the team's top running back, but they need to address the ball security issue to maintain their offensive effectiveness.
