CBS Sports releases 2019 midseason awards; Vikings receive vote as SB champ
It’s that time of the year where analysts roll out their midseason awards and predictions.
Earlier this week, we pointed you to NFL.com’s version, where running back Dalvin Cook received votes for Offensive and Comeback Player of the Year, as well as MVP.
Cook popped up in CBS Sports’ 2019 midseason awards, as well. While John Breech’s six counterparts voted for Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, the analyst argued that Cook should be considered for Offensive Player of the Year. He wrote:
Not only does Cook currently lead the NFL in rushing, but the Vikings running back is on pace for nearly 1,650 rushing yards, which would be the highest total the league has seen since 2014 [when DeMarco Murray racked up 1,845]. The Vikings love to run the ball, which means if Cook can stay healthy, his number should only get more impressive down the stretch.
The Vikings also received a vote for Super Bowl champion from Will Brinson, who said the following:
Not going to sway from my original pick when they’re playing some good football. Minnesota’s defense looks above average, Kirk Cousins has calmed the critics and the Vikings should be playoff bound. Now he just has to win a bunch of big games in a row.
