What happened: Buffalo Bills running back James Cook refuted viral social media claims alleging an in-game uniform accident during Monday's matchup. Cook addressed the circulating rumors directly on social media, writing that the claim was wild and adding, "I didn’t s--- on myself." The discussion emerged following Buffalo's 23-6 road win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Why it matters: The viral chatter followed a dominant 23-6 victory for Buffalo in Minneapolis on Monday night. The defeat dropped Minnesota to 6-2 ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, which also saw the Vikings release wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Buffalo avoided any fallout from the rumor as both clubs navigate the second half of the regular season.

What to watch: Buffalo continues its regular season slate looking to build on Monday's road victory. Minnesota shifts focus forward after falling to 6-2 and adjusting its roster following Beckham's departure.
