NFL Week 12: Winners and losers around the league
Dalvin Cook – Loser
Before Vikings fans get up in arms for this, I am not saying Dalvin is an all around loser. Cook had a very nice 26 yard touchdown catch early in the game and ended it with one of the best touchdown celebrations of the year.
However, Cook simply stunk on the ground. Going against the 26th ranked run defense, Cook should’ve had a day.
Instead, he was only able to total 29 yards on the ground and finish the night with an average of 2.9 yards per carry. Cook was also out rushed by teammate Latavius Murray. Cook has yet to get going this year on the ground, some of this is due to injury.
However, the Vikings cannot continue to keep winning games throwing, they are becoming very predictable and desperately need to get more out of Cook down the stretch of the season.
