The new arrival didn’t take long to find his feet.
Arriving in Minnesota only a few days before facing the Falcons, Joshua Dobbs did not disappoint his new team. Against Atlanta he not only won the victory in the final seconds, but he set the stage. This excellent outing therefore unsurprisingly earned him an extension as the starter according to NFL Media. It is he who will lead the purple attack against New Orleans in week 10, as announced by Kevin O’Connell.
It must be said that if the Vikings set up an exchange with the Cardinals to recover the veteran, it is because the club is running out of options. Kirk Cousins is lost for the season, and rookie Jaren Hall is in concussion protocol.
This year, in Arizona colors, Dobbs threw for 1,569 yards, 8 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. For his game with Minnesota, he completed 20 of 30 passes for 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He added 66 yards rushing, as well as a rushing touchdown.
