The Buffalo Bills' offense is potent. Of course, Josh Allen is arguably the best player in the NFL, and the Bills gave him a new favorite target in the form of DJ Moore in the offseason. The team also has an elite running back. James Cook led the NFL in rushing with 1,621 yards last season. He had a league-leading 16 rushing touchdowns the year prior, too.

However, Cook has developed somewhat of a fumbling issue, and that was on display again in the Bills' Week 1 matchup against the Houston Texans. While down by one point with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Cook exploded for a big gain and a first down, just to fumble the ball on a chase-down tackle. Luckily, the Bills were able to recover, and they'd go on to win in thrilling fashion.

It would have been all for nothing if Buffalo lost possession, though. Joe Brady told Sal Capaccio that Cook is "pissed," so hopefully he should be motivated to fix his biggest flaw. Regardless, the coach confirmed that the fumble won create any restraints in terms of feeding the rock to the star running back.

The Bills have been on the brink of ultimate success in recent years. The team is perennially one of the best teams in the regular season, but they keep falling short in the postseason. Turnovers can be the make-or-break attribute for the team, so Cook needs to clean up his fumbling problem.
