FILE - In this Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018 file photo, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (33) runs against the New England Patriots during the first half of an NFL football game in Foxborough, Mass. One of the Patriots’ biggest weaknesses on defense this season has been containing opponents on the ground. New England has allowed 100 or more rushing yards seven times and is coming off giving up a season-high 189 in last week’s loss at Miami. A trip to Pittsburgh is next, but for just the second time in five meetings the Patriots won’t have to contend with Le’Veon Bell. (AP Photo/Steven Senne, File)
