Meanwhile, the Bills' offense saw James Cook III rush for 64 yards, and Skyler Bell put up a strong receiving effort with 90 yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Herbert's explosive performance. Defensively, Cam Hart made his presence felt with three total tackles, helping to contain the Bills' offensive efforts.
