2 — Bills running backs combine for three touchdowns
James Cook III got the start at running back, carrying the ball on the first two plays of the game for 15 yards before giving way to Ray Davis and Ty Johnson.
Cook ends the season with a career-high 1,621 rushing yards and is in position to win the NFL’s rushing title.
Davis and Johnson were excellent in Cook’s place, combining for 230 total yards and three touchdowns. FB Reggie Gilliam also got in on the action with 22 yards receiving and four yards rushing.
Davis surpassed his previous career high for scrimmage yards in a game with 151 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving. He caught Trubisky’s TD pass before half time, a two-yard catch where Davis rolled on top of the Jets defender while getting tackled and stayed up as the pair rolled into the end zone.
“Just trusting myself and believing in this scheme and going out there and just taking an opportunity I was given today, man, and I just want to show everybody I am who I am,” Davis shared.
Johnson had a six-yard rushing score early in the second quarter and a six-yard receiving TD at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In doing so, he set a career single-season high in 2025 with three rushing touchdowns and tied a career single-season high with four scrimmage touchdowns.
“I love to be able to see the production from all of us,” Davis said. “We all feed off each other, we all communicate with each other, and that’s a good thing.”
