Nothing about this season has been easy or simple for Joshua Dobbs, but he’s handled it all so well.
He was traded to the Arizona Cardinals a week before the season, did a respectable job as a starter and was traded again to the Vikings ahead of Kyler Murray’s return. Despite only being with the Vikings for a few days, Dobbs needed to play against the Falcons when Jaren Hall left the game early with an injury. He led the Vikings to a win despite knowing very little of the playbook (or his teammates’ names).
Well, Sunday’s game against the Saints was Dobbs’ first start at home with the Vikings, and he quickly realized how unfamiliar he was with U.S. Bank Stadium. He needed help finding the Vikings’ locker room.

It’s not often you see a starting quarterback asking where the home locker room is, but this season has been beyond unusual for Dobbs.
Fans also thought the whole scene was hilarious. You just have to laugh about that situation.
This was how Twitter reacted

I hope this becomes a trend the rest of the year.
We get a mic'd up video of Josh Dobbs learning Justin Jefferson's name and then throwing him a 62yd TD 15 seconds later https://t.co/trtD7SnqCd

This time last week, Josh Dobbs didn't know his teammates names… Today, he needs help getting to the #Vikings locker room at U.S. Bank Stadium. https://t.co/eYsrCKDyMm
