J.J. McCarthy made a quick impression in his NFL debut, leading the Vikings to a historic fourth-quarter comeback against the Bears on Monday night. He was in position to lead that comeback because he did not play well early in the game, and even threw a very bad pick-six to Chicago's Nashon Wright.
Peyton Manning, like most people, was not impressed by McCarthy at that point in the game, but one of his teammates spoke up on Thursday and took the blame for the lowlight. Star wide receiver Justin Jefferson explained to the press how he was the one who made the mistake that led to the Bears taking a double-digit lead in Week 1.
