(CBS Minnesota) — The resurgent Dallas Cowboys will have their hands full against the Minnesota Vikings, who feature Dalvin Cook, the NFL’s leading rusher (in terms of total rushing yards), and one of its best defenses. Cook, who has gained 894 yards so far, while averaging 5.1 yards per carry, is well on his way to his first 1000-yard season, barring injury. With 33 catches, he seems likely to surpass his career high of 40 in a season as well.
Kirk Cousins, who’s been playing better of late, will have a role in that.
