EAGAN, Minn. – Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has been named the FedEx Ground Player of the Week for his performance against the Titans in Week 3, the NFL announced Wednesday.


Cook racked up a career-high 181 yards rushing, including a 39-yard touchdown, on 22 carries Sunday. The dominant outing surpassed Cook's previous high of 154 yards rushing at Green Bay last September.


After totaling just 26 carries for 113 yards through the Vikings first two games, Cook's Week 3 totals elevated him to third in the NFL in rushing yards (294) behind Tennessee's Derrick Henry (319) and Green Bay's Aaron Jones (303).
