The moment Josh Dobbs walked into the Jubilant Vikings locker room after the win will give you goosebumps.
Joshua Dobbs’ heroic performance for the Vikings on Sunday, just days after the club acquired him, was one of the biggest stories of the NFL season. His fourth-quarter drive to lead Minnesota to an improbable win over the Falcons after an injured Jaren Hall layoff was a remarkable moment, and he naturally received a hero’s welcome when he returned to the locker room.
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell began his postgame talk without Dobbs as the quarterback addressed the postgame media on the field. As they waited for Dobbs to return to the team, O’Connell told the other Vikings to make sure Dobbs felt loved when he entered the room.

“What [Dobbs] learned today is what this place is all about,” O’Connell said. “When he walks into that locker room, we’ll let him hear it.”
O’Connell’s full postgame speech is special. He called the win “the biggest team win I’ve ever been a part of” and called out several key players for the win.
“What makes our game so special and so great is that no matter the circumstances, a group of guys have the opportunity to decide, ‘What do I want to do for the guy next to me?'” O’Connell said in the suit. . room for a long time. We needed the last man today.”
O’Connell later spoke to Dobbs and presented him with a game ball for his brave performance. Later, his Viking teammates chased him down and then lifted him onto their shoulders to complete the film script.
It’s hard to know if the Vikings can continue to have success with Dobbs under center, but fans loved the moment yesterday. They will definitely be easy to implement for the rest of your trip.
