Former Tennessee Volunteer Josh Dobbs has had a remarkable week.
After only losing the first two games of the season by a total of seven points, the Arizona Cardinals quarterback led his team to a shocking 28-16 win over the then-undefeated Dallas Cowboys to pick up the first win of the Cardinals’ season and, more importantly, the first win of his NFL career.
Dobbs threw for 189 yards on 17-of-21 passing with a touchdown pass to Marquise Brown. The former Vol also added in 55 yards on the ground as the Cowboys struggled to contain the explosive backfield of Arizona.
The Cardinals later released a Mic’d Up video of Dobbs during the game against the Cowboys.
After the game on Sunday, Dobbs posted a video to his social media account that quickly went viral due to the fact that the Cardinals’ team shop wasn’t even selling his No. 9 jersey in the store.
“Like yo, I know I just got here, but we can at least have the custom jersey ready for me! Help your boy out!” Dobbs said in the clip.

The Cardinals, though, quickly got things right as the Arizona fans made noise in support of their quarterback.
Arizona posted a follow-up video from Dobbs’ TikTok account on Tuesday evening to announce that the situation had been handled.
“Yall, take it easy on the Cardinals,” Dobbs said in the video. “I just got here a month ago!”
For those wondering, @josh_dobbs1 jersey availability from Saturday morning was quickly addressed and fixed by Saturday afternoon.

The news doesn’t slow down there, though.
Prior to the Cardinals’ game against the Cowboys, Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons called out Dobbs during an episode of “The Edge with Micah Parsons” show.
Parsons claimed that he was “throwing darts” at a bulletin board with Dobbs’ up on it.
So, what did the Arizona quarterback on Tuesday? Expert-level trolling.
Dobbs posted a video to his social media account of Parsons’ quote followed by a clip of him dodging darts. Dobbs effectively hit the coveted reverse-troll on Parsons’ pre-game message.
So what’s next for Josh Dobbs?
Well, barring anything else bouncing around the internet like it has in the last few days, a game against the 49ers in San Francisco is next on the to-do list. Dobbs’ Cardinals will take on the 49ers at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday on FOX.
To add in a Tennessee element here at the end, Dobbs was in Knoxville this past spring during Tennessee’s spring training camp. In early March, The Players’ Lounge posted a video to social media that showed Dobbs in a throwing competition with Tennessee quarterbacks Joe Milton III and Nico Iamaleava in the Vols’ indoor facility.
