Bills’ Cook looks to improve after leading NFL in rushing

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — James Cook treats carrying the football the same way he answers questions about his past accomplishments. The Buffalo Bills running back does both by solely looking forward. So there was no point in asking Cook to reflect on last year, when he used a brief training ...
