Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs showed his grittiness in the team's 31-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons, extending the drive that led to the go-ahead touchdown.
Sunday was Joshua Dobbs’ fifth full day with the Minnesota Vikings. He’s barely had time to read the playbook and came into the game against the Atlanta Falcons as the backup to rookie Jaran Hall. Hall left the game with a concussion in the first quarter, and Dobbs, who was acquired in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals following Kirk Cousins’ season-ending injury, stepped in. There were no expectations for Dobbs as he was thrust into the game, but he made the most of it.
Dobbs kept the Vikings in the game throughout Sunday’s matchup. The Falcons were up 21-13 with 6:54 left in the third quarter when Dobbs’ rushing touchdown and 2-point conversion tied the game. Minnesota took the lead early in the fourth quarter with a 31-yard Greg Joseph field goal. Atlanta clawed back to go up four points thanks to a 5-yard rushing touchdown from Tyler Allgeier. The Vikings needed Dobbs to come up big with 2:08 left in the game.
Minnesota improved to 5-4 on the year and are on a four-game winning streak. Atlanta dropped to 4-5 and have dropped three out of their last four games.
