J.J. McCarthy Shocks Bears With Historic Debut as Vikings Rally 27-24

Rookie J.J. McCarthy delivered a historic NFL debut, leading the Vikings from a 17-6 fourth-quarter deficit to a 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday night. He became the first QB to account for three fourth-quarter touchdowns in his debut, tying Vikings history back to Fran Tarkenton’s 1961 opener. Chicago’s 11 penalties and late-game lapses helped Minnesota seize control.
