Adam Thielen – Noteworthy
WR Adam Thielen was held to four catches for 22 yards on Sunday, snapping his streak of eight straight games with at least 100 yards receiving. Thielen’s streak is the longest in NFL history to start a season and tied with Detroit’s Calvin Johnson for the longest streak in league history at any point in a season. Thielen did catch a touchdown pass, his sixth straight game with a touchdown reception.
Dalvin Cook – Noteworthy
RB Dalvin Cook showed he was healthy with a career-high, 70-yard run in Sunday’s game. He was tracked at 22.07 miles per hour on the run, the fastest of any ball carrier this season according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Cook ended up with 10 carries for 89 yards.
Danielle Hunter – Noteworthy
DE Danielle Hunter had a career-high 3.5 sacks on Sunday as Minnesota set a new team record with 10 sacks against the Lions. Hunter has only had one game this season he’s been held without a sack and he leads the league with 11.5 sacks.
Latavius Murray – Noteworthy
RB Latavius Murray had a touchdown run in Sunday’s game, his fifth touchdown run of the season. Murray now has a touchdown in four straight games. It was his 25th rushing touchdown since the start of the 2016 season. Only Todd Gurley (30) and Ezekiel Elliott (25) have as many in that span.
Xavier Rhodes – Noteworthy
CB Xavier Rhodes ended up playing 42 defensive snaps on Sunday, 60 percent of Minnesota’s defensive total. Rhodes played through a foot injury that had caused him to miss the Week 8 game. Coach Mike Zimmer said Rhodes should be fine after the team’s bye week.
