The Bills beat the Patriots 24-21 thanks to the performance from starting running back James Cook along with timely plays made by the defense. Cook ran the ball 11 times for 100 yards and one touchdown while also catching three passes for 26 yards and another touchdown, showing his ability to affect the game on the ground and through the air.

The Bills kept their slim hopes of the No. 1 seed in the AFC alive and are a step closer to at worst, locking up the No. 2 seed.
