Gameday updates: Minnesota Vikings' Joshua Dobbs gets another ...

DENVER — As the Minnesota Vikings prepare for a primetime road matchup against the Denver Broncos, they have to be feeling pretty good about themselves.

Minnesota is on a five-game winning streak, which is noteworthy in and of itself. But they've won them all without their best player (Justin Jefferson) and two of them without their top two quarterbacks. Joshua Dobbs has proved he's no ersatz replacement for Kirk Cousins, leading the team to two straight victories while playing well above expectations. And they're about to get Jefferson back, just in time for the stretch run.

On top of all that, defensive coordinator Brian Flores has his unit punching above its weight class with perfectly timed blitzes and selfless playmaking in the secondary. According to Sumer Sports, the Vikings' defense ranks ninth overall in expected points added per play with -0.05. The Vikings' offense ranks 11th in the league with 0.02 EPA/play.

The Broncos are on a winning streak of their own — three straight games. They're allowing just 16 points a game over that stretch, and the offenses they've played are no slouches. They gave up 22 points to the Buffalo Bills (third in EPA/play), nine to the Kansas City Chiefs (sixth in EPA/play) and 17 to the Green Bay Packers (14th in EPA/play). 

On offense, resurgent play from Russell Wilson has certainly helped. He's thrown six touchdowns and no interceptions during the winning streak, and even displayed some of his vintage magic on this incredible scramble and desperation heave to Courtland Sutton for a touchdown:

If the Vikings hope to keep their winning streak going, they'll need to keep Wilson in check and hope Dobbs continues his own charmed play.

The game kicks off at 7:20 p.m. Follow all of the action below.
