Report Card: Bills are near perfect in blowout win over Titans
‘The final numbers were aided in a big way by a 33-yard gain by rookie running back James Cook on the final, garbage-time drive of the game. Otherwise, this was a classic “why run it when you can throw it every play” game. Devin Singletary had a nice, 16-yard gain on the second play from scrimmage, but highlight plays were few and far between in the running game. Singletary finished with just 19 yards on six carries, so his other five attempts produced just 3 yards. Zack Moss had a 17-yard gain, and finished with those 17 yards on three carries. Fans wanting to see Josh Allen run the ball got their wish. Allen attempted just one rush, but it was a good one. He pulled off a hurdle of sorts – let’s call it a half-hurdle – on a 10-yard gain in the first quarter that converted a third-and-9 play. As a team, the Bills finished with 101 yards on 24 carries – an average of 4.2 yards per rush. By and large, though, it was tough sledding.’
