The Buffalo Bills got back on the winner's list with a devastating run game, key to beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-7 on the road to move to 8-4.

We are used to seeing the Pittsburgh defense be hard to run against, but one thing we know the Bills do better than a lot of teams is run the ball.

Pro Bowler James Cook had 81 yards from 17 carries in the first half as Buffalo put up 125 yards on the ground, but it wasn't done there.

As the fourth quarter was winding down, the Bills' rushing attack continued to beat Pittsburgh into submission, and as such, rushing for 237 yards, made history, which is the most yards by a visiting team at Acrisure Stadium.

It was an incredible day on the ground for the Bills, as Cook finished with 144 yards, while Ray Davis chimed in with 62 yards, Allen with 38, and Ty Johnson with five yards, as the Steelers had no answer to Joe Brady's run game.

To make history in someone else's building is a great effort for Buffalo, and equally embarrassing for Pittsburgh, who regularly heard boos raining down from the stands as the offense continued to stutter.

The Bills got their groove back in the second half, and now move to 8-4, and we imagine that going forward, getting Cook and Co. Rolling might be the Super Bowl recipe.
