Buffalo Bills dismantle the Dallas Cowboys in a huge 31-10 victory over Dak Prescott and Co… who are knocked off top spot in the NFC as five-game win streak comes to an end

James Cook had a career-best 179 yards and scored twice as the Buffalo Bills dominated on the ground. He defeated Dallas 31-10 on Sunday, ending the Cowboys' five-game winning streak.

Josh Allen threw for just 94 yards for the Bills (8-6), who won consecutive games for the first time since a three-game winning streak ended Oct. 1. Buffalo gained ground in the AFC playoff race and was one game ahead of Denver and Pittsburgh.

The Cowboys (10-4) clinched their third seed in the playoffs before kickoff thanks to losses to Green Bay and Atlanta on Sunday and Detroit beating Denver on Saturday. But nothing else went right for Dallas, which fell a game behind NFC-best San Francisco.

The Cowboys, who are 7-0 at home — where they have outscored their opponents by a combined 279-108 — fell to 3-4 on the road, where they were outscored 156-152.

Buffalo rushed for 266 yards, held the ball 10 minutes longer than Dallas and had 28 first downs to the Cowboys' 14.

The Bills end the form of the contending teams after beating Kansas City and now Dallas

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott finished 21 of 34 yards for 134 yards, and a TD and an INT vs. Buffalo

The Cowboys, who had scored 40 or more points five times this season and had eight wins by 20 or more, were held to a season-low 195 yards of offense. Dak Prescott finished 21 of 34 for 134 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

So much for momentum. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy hoped his team would carry over last week's 33-13 win over division rival Philadelphia. Dallas closes out its schedule with two of its final three on the road.

The Bills, coming off a 20-17 win in Kansas City, are looking to secure their fifth straight playoff berth and stay in contention for a fourth consecutive AFC East title.

Buffalo's interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady used the running game to play keepaway against a Cowboys offense that entered the week leading the NFL with 421 points.

The Cook-led offense overwhelmed a defensive front that was missing defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins. Cook scored on an 18-yard catch three minutes into the second quarter and put the game away with a 24-yard dash at 2:30 of the fourth.

Allen had an easy day, attempting only fifteen passes and completing seven. He had a touchdown pass and a 1-yard touchdown rush.

Latavius ​​Murray opened the scoring with a two-yard run to cap Buffalo's first drive. And Dallas had little chance after Tyler Bass hit a 23-yard field goal to cap Buffalo's opening drive of the third quarter, which ate up 8:22 minutes.

The Cook rushing total was the most for a Bills player since Fred Jackson had 212 yards in a season-long win over Indianapolis in 2010.
