After finishing with 183 total yards (97 rushing, 86 receiving) in the Vikings’ Week 11 win over the Cowboys, running back Dalvin Cook has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.
It’s the second time Cook has won the award. He won it in Week 15 in 2018 against the Dolphins. Cook is the only running back to win the award with Mike Zimmer as head coach of the Vikings.
It’s been quite the season for the third-year running back. He leads the league with 991 rushing yards to go with 10 touchdowns. He’s also added 40 catches for 424 yards.
He’s on pace for 1,585 yards and 16 touchdowns to go with 64 catches and 678 yards. Not only are those Pro Bowl numbers, but those are also probably All-Pro numbers.
Cook will hit the 1,000-yard mark this Sunday against the Broncos at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Broncos are allowing 107 rushing yards per game, a mark that ranks 17th in the NFL.
