He鈥檚 a big play waiting to happen at all times. The great part about him is he can block, he can run, he can catch. He can make make people miss. He can be a physical guy. He can be a speed guy. It鈥檚 just so fun to watch.”Cook didn’t do much beyond the 70-yard run, but the play was a reminder of what the Vikings hope will make their offense tougher to stop as they hit the back end of their schedule.Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles: Third Quarter open thread Holding onto a 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, the Minnesota Vikings started the second quarter with a 3rd-and-13 from their own 17-yard line.
