The Buffalo Bills had a surprise change at running back Monday.
Ahead of their Week 6 game against the New York Jets on Monday Night Football, James Cook was ruled out with a toe injury that had been giving him discomfort.
It marked the first NFL game Cook missed in his three years in the league.
That led to head coach Sean McDermott calling up the next man on the depth chart, Ray Davis. Davis wasted no time making an impact, recording over 100-plus yards from scrimmage in just the first half versus the Jets.
