2. Dalvin Cook will be the only player to score for the Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is arguably the best back in the entire league. Cook has scored 34 career rushing touchdowns and has 3,722 yards on the ground. His Week 1 performance included a rushing score and 61 yards.

But Cook is not the only reason that he’ll score the only points for Minnesota against the Cardinals. Zimmer and Cousins cannot seem to get along. Pair this with a struggling offensive line trying to tie up Chandler Jones, and Minnesota simply won’t be able to make much happen through the air.

It is going to be another big game for Cook, who will likely end up in the end zone a couple of times for Minnesota. Arizona has one of the lowest run-blocking grades in the league and Cook will make quick work of them. He will be the only hope for Minnesota’s offense heading into Sunday’s contest.
