Joshua Dobbs’ heroic performance for the Vikings on Sunday, just days after he was acquired by the club, was one of the greatest stories of the NFL season. His fourth-quarter drive to lead Minnesota to an improbable victory over the Falcons after subbing in for the injured Jaren Hall was a remarkable moment, and naturally, he got a hero’s welcome when he returned to the locker room.
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell began his postgame speech without Dobbs while the quarterback completed postgame media responsibilities on the field. While they waited for Dobbs to return to the team, O’Connell told the rest of the Vikings to make sure Dobbs felt the love when he entered the room.
