Bills say NFL rushing champion could lose carries 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.
