EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — When running back Dalvin Cook went down with a season-ending knee injury against the Detroit Lions in Week 4, the Minnesota Vikings were looking at an offense without its No. 1 options at quarterback and running back, and a 2-2 record.
Journeyman Case Keenum has thrived in his opportunity as the starting quarterback, a rebuilt offensive line has held up while dealing with its own departures, and Minnesota (9-2) features a top-five offense as it locks its sights on a division title.
Players that many outside of the most-obsessive fantasy football players wouldn’t know have come together to give the Vikings one of the league’s best attacks.
