The two never went head-to-head in growing up or in high school or college due to the four-year age gap between the two. It’s an opportunity both brothers have waited their whole lives for.

“It’s a dream come true,” James Cook said this week. “We both dreamed of being in the NFL. We both just gotta keep grinding, get better and better and keep leaning on each other.”

As many as 30 family members are expected to be in attendance in Buffalo for the ‘Cook Bowl’. The brothers’ mom, Varondria White, told a local reporter in Minnesota that family members will be repping split hoodies to cheer on both James and Dalvin.

White has traveled up to Buffalo for all of James’ home games this season but additional family will be on-hand to take in the long-awaited game.

James shared this week that he and Dalvin mean everything to each other. The two talk “every day” according to the younger brother, with conversations ranging from life, to music, to football.

James was selected by the Bills this year with the 63rd pick in the NFL Draft. He was a second-round pick just like his brother.

About his brother, James told NFL Network:

“Having him as an older brother is a plus for me. Being in the NFL, he tells me all the tricks and trades to the game. Him being a vet, just looking up to him as an older brother — it’s special.”
