The Minnesota Vikings picked up their fifth win of the season on Sunday in dramatic fashion. After ceding the go-ahead touchdown to the Atlanta Falcons with just over two minutes remaining, newly-acquired quarterback Josh Dobbs drove the Vikings 75 yards for the game-winning touchdown on the road.
Now at 5-4, the Vikings are just 1.5 games behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North race. Just last week, many declared the Vikings’ 2023 season dead after Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles, but with a promising Vikings debut from Dobbs, a soft conference, and a favorable schedule, suddenly Minnesota’s season is very much alive.
