No. 24 (up 3 spots): Pete Prisco – CBS Sports
Winning at Green Bay, with a soft schedule coming the next five weeks, gives them some hope. Not much, but some.
No. 24 (up 3 spots): NFL Staff – Bleacher Report
Minnesota's stunning win over the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday can be summed up in two words: Dalvin Cook.
Cook wasn't an important part of the Minnesota offense at Lambeau Field — he was the Minnesota offense. The fourth-year pro carried the ball 30 times for 163 yards and three scores, chipping in another 63 yards and a score on two catches.
One win doesn't erase what has been a wildly disappointing first half of the season in Minnesota — a first half that started with a loss to the Packers in Week 1.
But it had to feel good to get a little payback.
No. 20 (up 5 spots): Conor Orr (The MMQB) – Sports Illustrated
This win was a Dalvin Cook masterpiece. The Vikings RB is the first player to score on each of his team's first four possessions since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.
