That was a damning loss to the Bears that really hurts [the Vikings] playoff hopes. Josh Dobbs came back to reality in a big way in that one.
No. 18 (down 4 spots): Josh Kendall, The Athletic
Despite Josh Dobbs throwing four interceptions and despite losing to the Chicago Bears, the Vikings are still in the playoffs as the No. 7 seed for the moment. The problem is they still have to play the Lions twice. The Dobbs story was fun for a while, but the Vikings should have started working on a new deal for Kirk Cousins at some point in the second half Monday night.

Over the past few weeks, quarterback Josh Dobbs was something of a folk hero in Minnesota.
After leading the Vikings to wins in his first two games, fans loved Dobbs. Teammates like wide receiver Justin Jefferson gushed about what his athleticism brought to the offense.
“He’s been doing some tremendous things, things that will keep you speechless,” Jefferson told reporters.
Well, fans were pretty speechless Monday night against the Bears. Or at least the words they said I can’t print here.
Yes, Dobbs led the Vikings on a go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter before the Bears drove back down the field for a game-winning field goal. But that drive came after a horrific outing in which he was picked off four times.
The Vikings had less than 250 yards of offense and lost at home to a Bears team that hadn’t won a game in the division since 2021.
