With a trip to Super Bowl 59 on the line, Josh Allen wasn’t the Buffalo Bills most valuable player. It was running back James Cook.

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.

Here is why the Bills regret not giving James Cook a snap on the final drive of the AFC championship vs. Chiefs.

Cook and McGovern were both voted as first alternates back in Week 18.

Cook’s gutsiness and athleticism wowed fans, and former superstar NFL JJ Watt posted the perfect GIF to summarize the play, referencing the iconic Michael Jordan dunk from “Space Jam.” Cook and the Bills hope his acrobatic touchdown will lead them to victory, as Jordan’s fictional dunk did.

Dion Dawkins is bringing some friends to the Pro Bowl in Florida this weekend, but chances of them playing with Josh Allen might be slim.

It came down to a fourth-and-goal play, where James Cook stretched across the goal line from the Chiefs’ one-yard line after being hit by Nick Bolton. Despite the tough hit, the third-year back reached out midair, giving the Bills a 22-21 lead.
