Dalvin Cook becomes first Viking since 1979 to accomplish this feat

By Erin Walsh  |  Last updated 11/1/20

Dalvin Cook returned to the Minnesota Vikings lineup on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, and his impact on the game cannot be overlooked. 

Cook recorded four touchdowns through three quarters of play on Sunday, helping Minnesota take a 28-14 lead into the fourth quarter. 

Cook is the first Vikings player to score four touchdowns of any kind in a single game since Ahmad Rashad in 1979. 

His four touchdowns were accompanied by 183 yards and 22 touches. 

Cook had 120 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 20 carries. He added two catches for 63 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown reception. 

If he manages to find the end zone again on Sunday, he'll be the first Vikings player ever to record five touchdowns in a game.
