Three reasons why the Vikings should extend running back Dalvin Cook

Here’s why the Vikings should extend running back Dalvin Cook

When Cook is on, the Vikings usually win

Cook had over 100 yards rushing in five different games last season.

Of those games, the Vikings’ only loss was to the Packers, a team that beat Minnesota 21-16 in that contest and finished 13-3 in the regular season.

There were also two games where he came pretty close to 100 yards rushing — he had 98 against the Redskins and 97 against the Cowboys. The Vikings won both of those games.

ESPN’s Courtney Cronin reported that the Vikings are 12-3 overall when Cook has gone for at least 100 yards in his career. It’s safe to say that when Cook gets going, so does the Minnesota offense.
