Falcons OC shrugs off late-night J.J. McCarthy heroics with hilarious quote

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy totaled three touchdowns in the fourth quarter in Minnesota's come-from-behind victory over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. After an impressive end to his NFL, the Atlanta Falcons should be watching closely—as they travel to Minnesota to face the Vikes in Week 2.

While Michael Penix Jr said McCarthy displayed "a lot of heart" in the victory, Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson missed out. The 38-year-old play-caller isn't much of a night owl, and he admitted he didn't stay up to watch the Vikings' miraculous comeback that spoiled Ben Johnson's coaching debut in Chicago.
