Lions had just 10 men on field for Vikings RB Dalvin Cook’s 70-yard run

With the way Vikings RB Dalvin Cook was running, it often looked like the Lions were outmatched and outmanned on Sunday.

On one play in particular, Detroit was literally outmanned. As CBS Sports first reported, the Lions defense appeared to only have 10 men on the field for what ended up being a play where Cook ran for a 70-yard touchdown.

Cook’s day got better from there. He finished with 206 yards rushing and two touchdowns as the Vikings won 34-20, making it their second consecutive divisional victory.

Cook also had 46 yards receiving, which was the second most on the team. Minnesota wideout Justin Jefferson had the most with 64 receiving yards.

The Lions really needed more than 11 men to try and stop Cook. Having 10 out there just isn’t even fair.
