The Buffalo Bills headed into Sunday's road matchup against the Cleveland Browns as solid favorites. The AFC contenders look to prove that prediction true, as they lead the Browns 23-10 in the third quarter. After scoring his second touchdown of the afternoon, Bills running back James Cook hit one of the coldest celebrations in sports: Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry's “Night Night.” ClutchPoints shared Cook's reaction via X, formerly Twitter, as Buffalo's strong performance continued in Cleveland.

“Bills' James Cook hit the ‘night night' celebration after getting his second TD of the day 😴,” posted the sports-focused site on Sunday. ” It's still the first half.”
Cook is already over 100 rushing yards on the day to go along with the pair of scores. The Bills running back is having a career year already rushing for 1,415 yards with the rest of today's game plus two more to go. It's fair to guess that he'll likely surpass the 1,500-yard mark. Can Cook help quarterback Josh Allen lead Buffalo on another deep playoff run starting next month?

Many predicted the Bills would be the AFC's top team entering this season. Despite Cook's second-straight 1,000-yard campaign and Allen's first ever MVP win, Buffalo once again lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. Yet, the Bills' inconsistent form has allowed a resurgent New England Patriots squad, under the leadership of new head coach Mike Vrabel and sophomore quarterback Drake Maye, to surge back to the top of the AFC East.
Now, the Bills still have an opportunity to get past the Patriots and back into first place. Defeating the Browns Sunday is the first step. Next: wins over the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets at home to close out the season. If New England stumbles on the road tonight against the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo will be right where they need to be. Will Cook and the Bills extend their AFC East title reign? If they continue performances like Sunday's in Cleveland, don't be surprised to see history repeat itself.
