Bills star RB James Cook savagely does the Dolphins dirty in response to ‘trash’ question
Buffalo Bills star RB James Cook roasted the Miami Dolphins on a viral podcast clip, igniting fresh AFC East rivalry buzz.
The Buffalo Bills are riding high after a Week 8 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers, but running back James Cook just added fuel to the AFC East fire. A viral podcast moment has now become bulletin board material for the Miami Dolphins ahead of their rematch in two weeks down in South Beach. The last time these teams met, Buffalo came out on top 31–21 in a Week 3 Thursday Night Football clash.
Appearing on Underdog’s The Arena: Gridiron, the two-time Pro Bowler was quizzed about his first 100-yard rushing performance in the NFL. When Cook hesitated, host Kinsey Wolanski gave him a savage hint.
“This team is trash.”
That’s all Cook needed.
Co-host Aqib Talib and the studio erupted in laughter. The correct answer was the Las Vegas Raiders, but the comment from Cook about the Dolphins had already landed—and fans were quick to clip it.
Underdog’s official X (formerly known as Twitter), posted a video of the exchange Tuesday afternoon with a caption that perfectly captured the moment.
“The Dolphins caught a stray from James Cook 🤣”
The internet didn’t miss a beat. Within minutes, fans flooded the comments, Dolphins supporters fuming and Bills Mafia celebrating. Whether meant as a joke or not, Cook’s reaction became instant ammo in one of the league’s most unpredictable rivalries.
The timing couldn’t have been better (or worse, depending on your view). Cook had just posted a career-high 216 yards and two touchdowns in a 409 demolition of the Panthers just two days prior. The moment instantly gained traction, with post surpassing 200K views.
To be fair, the Dolphins haven’t consistently struggled to contain Cook. In seven career meetings, they’ve held him under 45 rushing yards in four of those games. But in Week 3 of this season, he torched Miami for 108 yards and a touchdown—his highest total in the AFC East divisional rivalry so far.
The running back’s comments during the podcast may have been light-hearted, but they landed hard. With a Week 10 rematch set for November 9 in South Beach, the clip is bound to resurface.
Add in the Dolphins vs. Bills history, and this moment might just spark the most personal AFC East showdown of the season.
Analyst Calls Browns Key Offseason Move ‘A Massive Mistake’

Analyst reveals massive Browns mistake
The Cleveland Browns made a major move this offseason, but one analyst isn’t a fan of it.
After another disappointing season, Cleveland made a big move to re-sign star pass rusher Myles Garrett. Garrett has requested a trade, but the Browns ended up giving him a four-year, $160 million contract with over $123 million guaranteed.
Although Garrett is one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, Browns analyst Daryl Ruiter called the extension a massive mistake.
“I think the biggest mistake the Browns made was extending Myles,” Ruiter said on 92.3 The Fan. “I think that was a massive mistake on their end, I understand why they did it. You don’t want to be the organization that trades a future Hall of Famer, I get that. How competitive are you with Myles right now? You have a future Hall of Famer that’s doing record-breaking things, and you’re non-competitive. That’s why it was a bad decision for them to extend Myles. They should’ve traded him.”
As Ruiter points out, despite Garrett being dominant, the Browns still aren’t winning games, so he thought general manager Andrew Berry should have traded Garrett.
Had the Browns traded Garrett, Cleveland likely would’ve been able to acquire multiple draft picks, including first-rounders and perhaps some impact NFL players, which is why Ruiter called the extension a massive mistake.
Browns Send Message to Garrett After Outburst
During Cleveland’s blowout loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8, Garrett had another dominant game.
The star pass rusher recorded 5 sacks and a forced fumble in a dominant game. But, despite his performance, the Browns were getting blown out when Garrett slammed his helmet on the sideline in frustration.
Following the loss, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski responded to Garrett’s frustration.
“We’re all frustrated,” Stefanski said postgame. “Obviously, in those moments, we want to make sure it doesn’t get the best of us. But with that frustration comes a resolve, and I know Myles and I know him as a leader, I know the leaders in this football team will show that mental, will show that resolve.”
Garrett, meanwhile, said he was frustrated that he wasn’t on the field at that point in the game, regardless of the score.
“Frustrated,” he said. “I want to win. No matter how much time is on the clock, they got their starters in, there’s a chance we can win, I want to be a part of that. I don’t care how dire the situation looks. I want to try to make something happen, so I hate coming out in a situation, I hate that kind of inevitability. And not being able to do anything about it.”
Stefanski Hopeful Team Turns it Around
Heading into the Browns’ bye week, Stefanski said the goal is to start winning.
The head coach is also frustrated as Garrett is, but he’s confident the team can turn it around.
“I think it’s really so specific to all of us. We know we have a job to do – the fun in this business is winning, so, there’s the frustration that comes with losing a game, is very real. But how you channel that and how you, like you said, use it as fuel moving forward, I think is really important,” Stefanski concluded.
The Browns will go on the road to play the New York Jets in Week 10 after their bye.
