"It didn't take long for one of the fastest speeds of Week 12 to be reached. During the Buffalo Bills' thrilling Thursday night matchup against the Houston Texans, Bills running back James Cook III broke free for a 45-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the game. Cook's top speed was 21.33 mph, the second fastest of the week among all ball carriers. The Cook TD put the Bills up 6-0, and it ended up being Buffalo's only offensive touchdown as Houston won 23-19."
"The fastest time of Week 12 belonged to Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs when he zoomed past the New York Giants defense for a 69-yard touchdown in the Lions' 34-27 overtime win. On that run, Gibbs clocked 22.17 mph, which marked the fourth fastest time all season. The third-year back is all over the list of fastest times this season. He hit 22.34 mph in Week 2 (which ranks second fastest) and 22.23 mph in Week 7 (third)."
"In Las Vegas, the buzz around the Cleveland Browns' 24-10 win was centered on the starting debut of rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but he had some help. Coach Kevin Stefanski had perfect timing when he called a screen pass to running back Dylan Sampson, who went 66 yards and scored a touchdown while hitting the fourth-fastest time of the week at 20.82 mph."
Several Week 12 plays produced elite top speeds among NFL ball carriers. James Cook recorded a 21.33 mph top speed on a 45-yard touchdown that opened the game, though Buffalo's offense scored no other touchdowns in a 23-19 loss. Jahmyr Gibbs recorded the fastest Week 12 mark at 22.17 mph on a 69-yard touchdown and has multiple top seasonal speeds. Mason Tipton hit 21.03 mph on a 75-yard kickoff return. Dylan Sampson ran a 66-yard touchdown while reaching 20.82 mph in the Browns' 24-10 victory during Shedeur Sanders' starting debut.
