Don't worry about that game. Cook will run for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns and Phielen and Jefferson will combine for a couple more touchdowns. If the Jaguars lose to Arizona (7.5 point underdogs), the only good chance of a win is against Houston after the bye week. They will then finish 2-14 and pick 2nd or 3rd in the draft.

If the Vikings for all practical purposes are out of playoff contention after 11 games,  even what's considered a minor injury easily could be enough for Dalvin Cook to be kept out vs the Jaguars. That much more so after signing Cook to a lucratiive contract before tbe start of tbe season.

Without Cook, combined with all of the Vikings players that are already out for the season,  this is a game I believe the Jaguars would have at least a 50 % chance of winning if they are relatively healthy.
