Josh Dobbs on Vikings' Loss in Denver

Transcript

00:00 What's up?

00:00 Good evening.

00:01 Obviously, tough loss on the road.

00:04 Hats off to the Broncos for pulling it out in the end.

00:06 I thought we did some good things on offense.

00:09 We challenged a line early with wanting

00:11 to establish a presence up front and on the line of scrimmage.

00:14 And they did a great job, especially in the first half,

00:17 of allowing us to lean on them, get into a rhythm.

00:20 I thought Alex and Ty did a great job

00:21 running the ball downhill.

00:23 We had a lot of explosive runs.

00:24 Guys made some big catches down the field, too, as well.

00:26 And we were leading up until the last two-minute drive.

00:30 Defense did a tremendous job of battling.

00:32 I don't think they converted on the third down all day.

00:36 We gave them two short fields, and they held them

00:38 to field goals.

00:39 And so as an offense, looking back at the game quickly,

00:42 it came down to turnovers.

00:43 We talked about it going into the week.

00:45 As a team that thrived off turnovers,

00:47 we lost a turnover battle 3-0.

00:49 And at the end of the day, it's hard in this league

00:51 to go on the road and win.

00:52 And it's even harder when you don't take care of the football

00:56 like you're supposed to.

00:57 So that's something that we can be better at on offense,

00:58 because we know when we protect the football

01:00 and play the way we do, we give ourselves a chance to win,

01:03 and we win a lot of football games.

01:05 So that's something we'll focus on this week.

01:07 And we've got a big division game coming next Monday.

01:09 So we're excited to get back to work,

01:11 get back to Minnesota and play with our home friends,

01:14 and put together a good game.

01:16 So I'll open it up to questions.
