But wait, there’s more to Minnesota’s offense. In the backfield, Cook has been a deadly option that can beat you in a variety of ways.

Cook is tied for the league lead with 13 rushing touchdowns, ranks No. 4 in the NFL with 1,108 rushing yards and second with 1,611 yards from scrimmage.

The Chargers run defense has improved throughout the course of the season, but clogging up holes and tackling in the open field has still been an issue. They can’t afford any hiccups facing a back like Cook, and they must do so in order to make it a one-dimensional game.
