The Josh Dobbs story continues to be incredible. Dobbs has come in for the Minnesota Vikings under extraordinary circumstances, and has made the most of the opportunity — and then some. That magic has extended into tonight’s game against the Denver Broncos.
With his rushing score, Dobbs became the first quarterback in NFL history to have a rushing and passing touchdown in each of his first three games with a team.
Per @ESPNStatsInfo and @EliasSports: Joshua Dobbs is the first player in NFL history with a pass TD and a rush TD in each of his first 3 games with a franchise.

Early in the second quarter, Dobbs put the Vikings on the board with an incredible touchdown. Dobbs escaped the pocket toward the sideline, then ducked under what looked like a sure sack to find tight end Josh Oliver in the end zone.
In the third quarter, Dobbs put the Vikings on the board again, this time with his legs. Dobbs surveyed the field, calmly decided nothing was open, and took off toward the end zone for a 10-yard score. With that score, Dobbs did something no quarterback has ever done and headed into the NFL record books.
It’s been a storybook start to Dobbs’ career with the Vikings, but there’s still work to be done tonight if he’s going to lead Minnesota to their sixth straight win.
