Ben Goessling’s Second Thoughts
A look back at the Vikings’ 21-16 loss in Green Bay
Three players who stood out
• Dalvin Cook: Only five of his 20 carries went for 2 or fewer yards, and 10 of his runs gained at least 4 (including his 75-yard touchdown run) on a 154-yard day. The Vikings need the NFL rushing leader to stay healthy — he has been their most productive offensive player by far.
• Everson Griffen: The defensive end came into the game champing at the bit to face David Bakhtiari, believing he had found some ways to avoid Bakhtiari’s attempts to get his hands on him, and he cast a formidable presence for the second week in a row.
