Dobbs led a last-minute drive for a touchdown to beat the Atlanta Falcons 31-28, just a handful of days after being signed to the team following veteran QB Kirk Cousins' season-ending injury. He wasn't even supposed to be playing — rookie QB Jaren Hall was hurt on the team's second offensive series.
Cousins celebrated the win on social media.
Let’s go @Vikings!!!

I was at the Cleveland Clinic this past summer, they said I had 14 known concussions, possibly more. I’m glad the league is taking this more seriously. I wish Jaren Hall the best in his recovery.
