ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver couldn’t help but interrupt upon overhearing a conversation running back James Cook was having regarding his college days at Georgia.
With Buffalo (4-1) traveling to play Atlanta (2-2) on Monday night, Cook acknowledged never scoring a touchdown in three SEC championship game appearances with the Bulldogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which doubles as the Falcons' home.
“That’s crazy to believe. I don’t believe that,” Oliver said of Cook, who scored 20 times over four years at Georgia, where he was part of a formidable and crowded backfield.
“Never had one,” Cook responded. “But now I’m going to get one this week.”
