{ "title": "James Cook's Heroics: Bills Edge Browns 23-20, Inch Closer to Playoff Berth", "article": "In a thrilling matchup, the Buffalo Bills secured a 23-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns, thanks largely to James Cook's outstanding performance. The talented running back rushed for 117 yards and scored two touchdowns, moving him closer to the NFL rushing lead. Meanwhile, Josh Allen played through a foot injury, favoring his right foot in the second half after being sacked early in the game. Cook's impressive display included a 44-yard run in the first quarter, where he evaded several would-be tacklers, and a 3-yard carry in the fourth quarter that extended the Bills' lead to 20-10. The Bills' offense also capitalized on two interceptions thrown by Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, with Ty Johnson scoring a touchdown on a 2-yard run and Michael Badgley kicking a 41-yard field goal. The Browns, however, managed to stay within striking distance, thanks in part to Sanders' 157-yard passing performance and two touchdowns, including a 1-yard run by tight end Harold Fannin Jr. in the third quarter. The loss was a tough blow for the Browns, who saw running back Quinshon Judkins carted off the field with a potentially season-ending leg injury. The win marked the Bills' fourth consecutive victory and fifth in six games, moving them closer to a playoff berth. The team will host the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday, while the Browns will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home."
