Dalvin Cook Named FedEx Ground Player of the Week

“He was balling,” Vikings receiver K.J. Osborn said of Cook. “Dalvin is a warrior, one of the heartbeats of our team. He’s a leader, and he’s always going to get the energy up.

“We were so happy to have him on the field, back with us again, doing what he does,” Osborn added. “That was great to see.”

Cook ran away from (pun intended) his competition this week, earning 79.2 percent of more than 50,000 votes on the Twitter poll.

He was up against Seattle’s Rashaad Penny, who totaled 137 rushing yards and two scores, and Denver’s Melvin Gordon, who recorded 111 yards and two touchdowns.
