Watch: T.J. Edwards snags third Joshua Dobbs interception on 'Monday Night Football'
Joshua Dobbs was seen as the savior for the Minnesota Vikings after he was traded from the Arizona Cardinals to replace Kirk Cousins, who was lost for the season.
Dobbs led Minnesota to two straight wins while throwing for three touchdowns and no interceptions. He came back down to earth a bit last week in a loss to the Denver Broncos, with one touchdown (plus one rushing touchdown) and one interception, but he completely hit the bottom of the barrel on "Monday Night Football" against the Chicago Bears.
Dobbs was intercepted by T.J. Edwards with 2:46 to go in the third quarter. Notably, the interception marked Dobbs's third of the contest to that point. It was also the second involving Jaylon Johnson, who snagged Dobbs's first pick of the night.
Johnson tipped the third interception, which Edwards eventually came down with.
To be fair to Dobbs, it was fourth down, so the interception essentially acted as a punt. The Bears got the ball back on the 31-yard line. Had Edwards dropped the pick, the Bears would have gotten it back around the 44.
Still, three picks in one game (now four, at the time of publication) is nothing to scoff at. It's great for the Bears. Not so much for Dobbs and the Vikings.
