3 mismatches in Vikings’ favor that NY Jets must overcome

We at Jets X-Factor have already spent quite a bit of time explaining some of the areas where the New York Jets have an advantage over the Minnesota Vikings. Now, it’s time to flip the script. Where do the 9-2 Vikings have an advantage?

These three matchups favor Minnesota.

Dalvin Cook vs. Jets’ linebackers and safeties

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is having an excellent season on the ground. He is sixth among all players in rushing yards (841) while averaging an efficient 4.7 yards per carry.

Cook is one of the league’s toughest runners to bring down.
