Vikes RB Dalvin Cook getting his opportunities

The Minnesota Vikings weren't shy about giving rookie Dalvin Cook the ball in his preseason debut.

Cook either took a handoff or caught a pass on nine of the 13 offensive plays that the Vikings' starting offense ran against the Buffalo Bills. He finished with five runs for 13 yards and four receptions for 30 yards.

"He got what was there," head coach Mike Zimmer said. "The thing I liked about him was when it got into tight quarters, he lowered his shoulder and tried to fight for the extra couple yards."
