Josh Dobbs jokingly introduced himself to Vikings fans after his first win with the team

Josh Dobbs Vikings NFL Minnesota (Organization)

After Kirk Cousins’ unfortunate Achilles injury, the Minnesota Vikings were forced to look elsewhere at quarterback. At the NFL trade deadline, they went out and added Josh Dobbs, giving them potential insurance down the stretch run of a competitive season.

They just probably didn’t know they’d be using him so quickly.

On Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Dobbs was pressed into action after less than a week with the team. It was rough to start, as he had a safety and fumble within his first four Minnesota plays. But with the Vikings needing a hero in the closing stages, Dobbs turned it up. He threw a touchdown pass on two of the last three Minnesota possessions, leading the Vikings to an improbable comeback 31-28 win.

As Dobbs walked off after the game, he looked right into a camera and jokingly introduced himself to any Vikings fans who weren’t quite yet familiar with him:

What a delightful, self-effacing sense of humor. How can you not root for a guy like this? I have a feeling that Vikings fans will have no trouble acquainting themselves to Dobbs if he keeps adding to the Minnesota win column.

This was how Twitter reacted
