Russell Wilson brought hope back to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The Broncos trailed the Minnesota Vikings for most of the night. The only points they were getting onto the scoreboard was from kicker Will Lutz. But as the defense stymied Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs, Wilson was able to guide the Broncos on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton.<\/p>\n

Denver took a 21-20 lead and won by the same score.<\/p>\n

Still, Dobbs made history as he had Minnesota up for most of the night. He made history in each of the last two weeks as he came into the game against Denver and made some more. With his scores against the Broncos, he became the first NFL player with at least one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown in each of his first three games for a team.<\/p>\n

He finished 20-of-32 with 221 passing yards. His touchdown pass went to Josh Oliver, who finished with four catches for 47 yards. T.J. Hockenson led the team with four catches for 55 yards.<\/p>\n

BILLS PUT STRUGGLES IN THE REARVIEW FOR BLOWOUT WIN OVER JETS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dobbs\u2019 curious 2023 season started in March when the Cleveland Browns signed him over from the Tennessee Titans. He was traded to the Arizona Cardinals before the regular season kicked off. He was then traded to the Vikings as Arizona was about to get Kyler Murray back from injury.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s won each of his Vikings starts using his arm and legs. He made his debut against the Atlanta Falcons when he had to come into the game in a pinch for Jaran Hall.<\/p>\n

Dobbs will now have to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to bounce back from a loss next week.<\/p>\n

With four straight wins, the Broncos are back to 5-5 and still in the playoff picture in the AFC standings. The team has tough matchups with the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans next on their docket.<\/p>\n
