The Vikings learned a few things Sunday in their 27–24 upset win over the Lions at Ford Field.
One, they shook off a couple of incompetent performances the past few weeks and are back in the playoff race with a 4–4 record. And two, they’ve got themselves a quarterback in J.J. McCarthy. The former No. 10 pick played well in his third career start, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another to improve to 2–1 as a starter.
