Josh Dobbs just got to the Minnesota Vikings facility five days ago, when he was traded hours before the trade deadline on Tuesday.
120 hours later, Dobbs has done the unthinkable and led the Vikings to victory against the Atlanta Falcons 31-28.
Whether he was breaking off a 30-yard run after avoiding a sack, or getting the ball to Brandon Powell for the go-ahead score, he was playing out of his mind.
Football fans all over social media were giving their praise to the journeyman quarterback as he traversed his first start with his fifth team in a calendar year.
Joshua Dobbs landed in Minnesota early Wednesday morning.
On Sunday, he comes off the bench and is on the verge of pulling off a miracle in Atlanta.

Josh Dobbs was thrust into action mid-game today, four days after his first Vikings practice.
He went 20/30 for 158 yards and 2 TDs, including the game-winner. Had 7 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown. Bounced back from a safety and two fumbles and won the game.
Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/U2CEhDC8y8

Joshua Dobbs should have a job in the NFL until he's 45 years old after what he's done this year.
