The Minnesota running back might have had his biggest plays in the passing game while easily outplaying two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott.
Cook ran for 97 yards, including the go-ahead touchdown on fourth down, and had 86 yards receiving that helped lead to three other scores, leading the Minnesota Vikings over the Dallas Cowboys 28-24 on Sunday night.
Cook’s 183 scrimmage yards gave him the league lead that category as well at 1,415 as the Vikings (7-3) beat a winning team on the road for the first time in almost two years. Minnesota was 0-9-1 in its previous 10 such games.
