The Minnesota Vikings quarterback garnered headlines by bouncing back from a rough first half and a few miscues to lead the Vikings to a 27-24 victory over the Chicago Bears.

McCarthy displayed poise and moxie despite throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown earlier in the game. “I don’t know if there’s a great comparison for J.J.

His stat line wasn’t pretty — 13-of-20 for 143 yards, two touchdowns and one interception — but his play late in the game is what captured everyone’s attention. It’s worth noting that McCarthy is a proven winner at all levels, having won a national championship after losing just one game with the Michigan Wolverines.
