The Vikings had two players named in Pro Football Focus’ All-Clutch Team from the 2019 season put together by Ben Linsey.
Offensively, running back Dalvin Cook was named to the Second Team.
Ahead of Cook was rival Packers running back Aaron Jones.
On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Trae Waynes (now with the Bengals) was named to the First Team along with A.J. Bouye.
As a fan, Cook’s name isn’t a surprise, although Waynes’ is.
How does PFF establish “clutch”?
The list is full of the players who graded the best in the fourth quarter and overtime of games within eight points. To qualify, a player needs to play just 75 snaps in those situations.
