Watch: Fancy footwork leads to fourth Joshua Dobbs TD in two games

By Michael Gallagher | Last updated Nov 12, 2023 2:38 PM ET

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs did it again.

One week after the 28-year-old signal caller covered 55.6 yards after avoiding a sack and picking up a first down in the red zone against the Atlanta Falcons, Dobbs made more magic happen with his legs.

On a third-and-6 from the New Orleans Saints 7-yard line, Dobbs dropped back, stepped up in the pocket and spun out while avoiding two edge-rushers before punching it in for his fourth touchdown in the two games he’s spent with the Vikings joining them last week as a trade-deadline acquisition.

Oh my Dobbs.

It was Dobbs’ 15th touchdown of the season and the fifth he’s scored on the ground. He now has a rushing touchdown in four straight games.

Through six quarters as the Vikings QB, Dobbs logged 106 yards rushing with two scores while averaging 8.15 yards per carry.

His score also put the Vikings up 17-3 on the Saints, who had just 97 yards of total offense in the first half and were averaging 4.4 yards per play to Minnesota’s 263 total yards and 7.7 yards per play average.
