In a budding instant classic, with Buffalo in position to take the lead for the first time all game at the end of the third quarter, Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense elected to put the ball in Cook’s hands on a fourth-and-goal play at the goal line.

Late in the third quarter on a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line, the Bills went for it as Josh Allen ran an option play, pitching it to running back James Cook, who managed to dodge one would-be tackler, bounce off another and extend the ball across the plane of the end zone while falling to the ground to give the Bills a 22-21 lead.
