J.J. McCarthy led the Minnesota Vikings to a 27-24 comeback victory over the Chicago Bears in his NFL debut. After a shaky first half, McCarthy orchestrated two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, including a rushing touchdown, securing the win. Chicago's Caleb Williams, despite an early strong performance, struggled in the second half, contributing to the Bears' loss. The Vikings' defense also improved significantly in the second half, shutting out the Bears' offense. The Bears' penalty issues also played a significant role in their defeat.
