J.J. McCarthy's NFL debut got off to a slow start. That start, and even a long pick-six he threw, is all but forgotten after the incredible fourth quarter he put together to give the Vikings a thrilling 27-24 win over the Bears on Monday Night Football.
Minnesota scored 21 points in the fourth quarter, with all three touchdowns accounted for by last year's No. 10 pick in his first game. McCarthy threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another score in the final 15 minutes of the game, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to account for three touchdowns in the fourth quarter of their NFL debut, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.
