Skip Bayless gives clear verdict on James Cook as Bills RB scores 44-yard TD vs Browns

The Buffalo Bills' Week 16 clash against the Cleveland Browns started with the home team taking a surprise 7-0 lead on the opening drive of the game on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field.

The Browns took the lead after rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders' 12-yard touchdown pass to Cleveland wide receiver Harold Fannin Jr. However, the Bills bounced back after their star running back, James Cook, rushed for a 44-yard touchdown on their opening drive to tie the score.

After the two-time Pro Bowler rushed for the game-tying touchdown, veteran NFL analyst Skip Bayless gave a clear verdict on the Bills star.

The veteran analyst's statement comes in the wake of Cook's stellar performances this season. The Bills running back averages 101.1 yards per game and his 44-yard touchdown meant he moved past Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor for the most rushing yards this season.

The Bills took the lead for the first time to make it 7-13 after Cook's fellow running back, Ty Johnson scored a rushing touchdown.
