With the Pro Bowl Games coming up this Sunday, the rosters are being finalized between opt-outs and Super Bowl obligations. For Buffalo Bills running back James Cook, a few timely opt-outs have led to his second trip to Orlando.

Late in the third quarter on a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line, the Bills went for it as Josh Allen ran an option play, pitching it to running back James Cook, who managed to dodge one would-be tackler, bounce off another and extend the ball across the plane of the end zone while falling to the ground to give the Bills a 22-21 lead.

The Bills ran the option, and QB Josh Allen pitched it to James Cook. Cook looked dead in the water upon receiving the pitch as the Chiefs defense converged around him, but somehow he found just enough daylight to lunge for the end zone. Cook’s outstretched arm broke the plane before his knee hit, and the Bills had scored the game-tying touchdown.

Cook’s gutsiness and athleticism wowed fans, and former superstar NFL JJ Watt posted the perfect GIF to summarize the play, referencing the iconic Michael Jordan dunk from “Space Jam.” Cook and the Bills hope his acrobatic touchdown will lead them to victory, as Jordan’s fictional dunk did.

Buffalo faced fourth-and-goal form the Chiefs' 1 with 2 minutes, 56 seconds left in the third quarter. Quarterback Josh Allen took a shotgun snap, ran an option and pitched the ball to Cook, who got low to the ground to try to evade safety Justin Reid.
