MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Minnesota Vikings have coined a new rally phrase after getting the run game going last Sunday in a win over the Detroit Lions.
In his return from a hamstring injury, Dalvin Cook nearly scored on a long run. Instead, he got tripped up and gained 70 yards. Cook finished the day with 89 yards rushing as part of a collective 128 yards on the ground.
As the team emphasized all week in practices, they were “pounding the beef.” The concept is explained in a story on the Vikings’ web site.
