It marked his second career touchdown and his first via a fumble return. Currently, Smith is ranked second in the league for total tackles (26) and solo tackles (16).

Meanwhile, running back James Cook posted another productive game in helping the Buffalo Bills to a 2-0 start to the season.

Currently, Cook ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing yards (176) and is tied for first in rushing touchdowns (three).
