Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell was lost for words at how impressive Joshua Dobbs was on touchdown vs. Saints

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs continues to wow his new team, as he’s 2-0 leading the franchise after it lost quarterback Kirk Cousins to injury for the season.

On a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Dobbs stunned even Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell with how he was able to use his mobility to escape a potentially busted play and turn it into a touchdown.

All O’Connell could do was just smile and happily shrug with Dobbs for how genuinely impressed he was that the journeyman quarterback has been able to run the Minnesota offense as effectively as he has in just two starts.

Dobbs is beginning to write himself quite a story with the Vikings, as the team sits 5-4 on the season after an 0-3 start.

While things looked grim for Minnesota after Cousins went down, Dobbs has provided the kind of lifeline that few people could’ve expected at this point in the season.
