Dobbs went 20/30 for 158 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran the ball seven carries for 66 yards and a touchdown as he led the Vikings comeback as they defeated the Falcons, 31-28. This was the feel good story of last week.
Yesterday Dobbs was going against a good New Orleans Saints defense. The Saints’ defense is ranked ninth in the NFL, giving up 19.8 points per game. Dobbs carved up New Orleans’ defense with his scrambling ability and accurate passes.

The Vikings defeated the Saints, 27-19, behind the great play of Dobbs. The former Tennessee Volunteer went 23/34 for 268 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 44 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings are now 6-4 and their playoff hopes are alive and well.
Did the Cardinals get enough back for Joshua Dobbs? Only time will tell but right now it looks like a great move on the Vikings part to get Dobbs for the low price of a sixth round pick.
