Dalvin Cook Voted FedEx Ground Player of the Week

Following his 20-carry, 154-yard explosion against the Packers last weekend, Dalvin Cook was voted the FedEx Ground Player of the Week.

Cook beat out the Packers' Aaron Jones and the Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott for the award. He was also nominated in Week 1, but lost the voting to the Colts' Marlon Mack.

Cook's huge day was highlighted by a 75-yard burst to the house for the Vikings' first score of the day.

In addition to his big day on the ground, Cook added 3 catches for 37 yards out of the backfield.

It was the second consecutive 100-yard rushing game for Cook, who has been the Vikings' best offensive player by a wide margin through two games. Check out this thread for some context on his special start to the season:
