The Buffalo Bills are looking to end their two-game losing streak, and Josh Allen is looking to avoid losing three straight games for the first time in his career. And while the Bills' passing game has been largely ineffective, they've gotten a massive showing from James Cook. 

The star running back has 153 rushing yards in the first half, which is the most a Bills' running back has had in the first half since 1992. The Bills have gone to Cook early and often, as he has 12 carries thus far.

The lack of passing game is painfully evident for Buffalo, though. Buffalo has to rely heavily on screens and Khalil Shakir to break tackles in order to get any notable gain. Besides the quick game, Allen has to scramble around and hope someone can break free in order to try and find a receiver.
