Inside his team’s own 20-yard line, Cook took a handoff from Kirk Cousins and bounced out to the left. Cook then turned on the jets and outran the entire defense for an 81-yard touchdown run. The touchdown made the game 27-16 in favor of the Buffalo Bills.

Cook is once again having a strong season in the Vikings’ offense. Entering this game, Cook had 608 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Cook also has 119 yards and a touchdown in the receiving game.
