Dalvin Cook has been a workhorse running back for the Minnesota Vikings this season. In Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, he ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns. This week against the Green Bay Packers, Cook picked up where he left off.
After falling behind 21-0 and the offense looking awful, Cook helped start the turnaround. Just when fans in Green Bay were expecting another big stop from the defense, Cook took a handoff from Kirk Cousins and broke off a dynamic 75-yard touchdown run.
Take a look at Cook's big run to cut the Vikings' deficit to 21-7:

Minnesota can only hope that this will not be their only big offensive play of the game. Green Bay's defense has been good all game outside of that one play and has forced a fumble from Cousins. Cook will be asked to handle a large workload throughout the rest of the game, which he is more than ready for.
Both teams have come out looking to prove a point this week. They are both 1-0 and are looking to show that they are the team to beat in the NFC North.
If the Vikings can continue getting huge runs from Cook, their passing game should open up. Make sure to tune into this game between two bitter rivals with a lot on the line for an early season game.
