Adrian Peterson salutes Dalvin Cook for his elite playoff performance

AP took notice of Dalvin Cook’s big game.

Adrian Peterson has some company in the history books of the Minnesota Vikings now.

The current Washington Redskins lead runner watched on over the weekend as Vikings running back Dalvin Cook lit up the New Orleans Saints in an upset win.

AP made sure Cook got his due, as seen in the tweet above.

Cook hit up the Saints in the overtime win to the tune of 94 yards and two touchdowns, doing his part to escape The Dome with a six-point win.

While Cook continues to be one of the best young backs in the league, Peterson continues to quietly cruise along as the lead tailback for the Redskins, trailblazing a path for stars like Cook in the process.
