UNEXPECTED: 5 serious injuries from minesota vikings players,leading to feared match against bears..

recently following the incident which occured to the packers in the last game got everyone wondering if packers could make it..

That scrambling speed and instinct for pass rush evasion are vital skills in the NFL these days, an unexpected jolt of energy for the Minnesota Vikings after the season-ending Achilles tendon injury to Kirk Cousins threatened to veer off course their bid for the playoffs.

Sometimes there’s a simpler explanation, too.

There´s a lot of large individuals on the other side of the football, and it´s painful when they hit you, so it´s more of running not to have to be hit by those guys,” Dobbs said. “It´s always been part of my game, and now the key is always finding ways to make sure that aspect of the game is never lost.”

Dobbs has 389 rushing yards this season, including his totals with the Arizona Cardinals before he was acquired by the Vikings in an emergency trade, that´s second only to Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson among quarterbacks in the league. His 70 attempts are third behind Jackson and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts.

In three games with Minnesota, Dobbs has three rushing touchdowns. The rest of the team has a total of two for the entire season.

He has a real ability as a runner. I think it comes natural to him,” coach Kevin O’Connell said. “We just have to find that right balance where we are tactically doing it for the right reasons and not taking that low-hanging fruit of just relying on that to run the football.”

When the Vikings (6-5) host the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium on Monday night, there should be no assuming that a retreat to the pocket will precede a pass in the air.

Dobbs might just be a casual jogger compared to Justin Fields, whose 1,904 rushing yards over the past three years are second only to Jackson. In 34 career games, Fields has 137 scrambles, defined as a play with positive rushing yardage after a drop back to pass. That’s the most in the league, according to Sportradar data. His average of 6.41 yards per attempt is also the best by any NFL quarterback with 20 or more runs over that span.
