James Cook Chasing Bills History – Ready to Break a Record Untouched Since the 1970s
Share this article:
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is on the brink of making history. With touchdowns in seven straight regular-season games, Cook has tied a franchise record that has stood for decades — and now has a chance to break it outright this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
The company he’s keeping is nothing short of legendary. O.J. Simpson’s streak in 1975, Cookie Gilchrist’s run in 1962, and Robb Riddick’s hammering streak in 1988 — those are the names Cook now stands beside.
Simpson’s record run was pure dominance, Gilchrist carved up defenses in the early AFL years, and Riddick specialized in short-yardage power. All three became iconic parts of Bills history.
And now, Cook is building a legacy of his own. After back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons and tying a single-season record with 16 touchdowns last year, his game has evolved. Once viewed as a finesse, pass-catching back, Cook has transformed into Buffalo’s most reliable red-zone weapon — combining patience, vision, and explosiveness at the goal line.
If Cook scores again this weekend, he won’t just be adding another touchdown — he’ll be carving his name in stone as the new standard-bearer for Buffalo running backs.
For a franchise with a proud history of ground-game greatness, Cook’s rise feels like the start of something special. Bills Mafia isn’t just watching another hot streak — they may be witnessing the birth of an all-time great.
