game balls
RB Dalvin Cook: He probably deserves a permanent spot here. He followed last week's gem in Green Bay with a career-high 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
TE Irv Smith Jr.: Two catches, two touchdowns for Smith, but he left with an injury after the second one.
LB Eric Wilson: Wilson had 13 tackles and collected his third interception of the season. He has five of the Vikings' nine takeaways.
