The Minnesota Vikings picked up their fifth-straight win on Sunday, knocking off the New Orleans Saints. 

When you've won five in a row, you will undoubtedly have some strong performances. This week was no exception, as recent addition Joshua Dobbs continues to shine. 

Now, let's identify the three top performers from the Vikes' win over the Saints. 

Byron Murphy Jr.

Murphy continued his impressive play on Sunday, finishing with three tackles, an interception, one tackle for loss, and three passes defended. The veteran corner has finally been playing like what the Vikings expected when they signed him this spring. 

The Vikings' secondary has been much better than it was a year ago, and Murphy is a big reason for that. 

TJ Hockenson

Hockenson was on the injury report all week. Not only did the big tight end play, but he had a fantastic day. Hockenson led all receivers in the game with 134 yards. 

Hockenson had a 28-yard TD just before the half to extend the Vikings' lead to 24-3. The veteran TE was a reliable target for his new QB all day long, and it's just what the team needed since Justin Jefferson is still out. 

Joshua Dobbs

Joshua Dobbs could not possibly be any more impressive than he’s been through 2 weeks. The QB has improbably led the Vikings to 2 wins in a row and looks like he belongs on the biggest stage. 

Dobbs had probably his best NFL game on Sunday. The QB finished with 268 passing yards and 1 passing TD with no turnovers. Dobbs also added 44 rushing yards and a rushing TD. Dobbs is not a star, but he's just what the Vikings need at this moment. 

For the first time, Dobbs has an adequate supporting cast. We've all seen what he can do when that's the case.

One lineup change the Vikings need to make now

The Vikings need to give up on one starter.
