Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Running back Dalvin Cook broke loose for a 75-yard touchdown run in the second quarter of the Minnesota Vikings' game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.

Cook turned on the jets with about 14 minutes remaining in the quarter. He took a handoff from Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins before running to his left. Cook then bounced back inside and ran through multiple defenders before sprinting down the right flank to complete the scoring run.
