The story
MIN (6-4) host DEN (4-5) in Week 11 of the 2023 season. They trail 21-20 with 1:03 left in the fourth quarter, ball at the 25-yard line, 1 & 10, 3 timeouts in hand. In reality, the drive fell short and DEN held on. Joshua Dobbs had arrived in Minnesota via trade only ten days earlier — and had just stunned the league. Denver, meanwhile, had turned its season around after an 0-3 start under a new coaching setup.
