Josh Allen “proud” of Ray Davis for his performance Monday night

Once anyone got past the stream of penalty flags, they would notice that the Bills had picked up 359 yards of offense on Monday night and a good chunk of that came from running back Ray Davis.

Davis came in for the injured James Cook and ran 20 times for 97 yards while catching three passes for 55 yards in a 23–20 Bills victory. That made him the first rookie to lead the Bills in rushing and receiving yards in the same game since 1986, and it served as a coming-out party of sorts for the fourth-round pick.

“It was great to see. That’s why we set it up,” quarterback Josh Allen said via the team’s website. “He’s hard to bring down, and he runs the ball really hard and protects the ball. I am very proud of him for going a step further.”

The Bills will likely move Cook back into a significant role once he’s healthy enough to return, but Davis made a case for a role in the proceedings for a Bills offense that has been looking for new faces to grab roles this season.
