J.J. McCarthy led the Minnesota Vikings to a 27-24 comeback victory over the Chicago Bears in his NFL debut. After a slow start, McCarthy threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes and ran for another, showcasing impressive poise under pressure. Caleb Williams, Chicago's quarterback, scored a rushing and a passing touchdown. McCarthy's performance, bolstered by coach Kevin O'Connell's halftime encouragement, solidified his role as the Vikings' starting quarterback, despite a shaky start and an interception return for a Bears touchdown.
