It was a long afternoon for young Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, facing pressure and unable to maintain consistent success through the air.

The limited chemistry with star receiver Justin Jefferson was on full display, as McCarthy was held to just four completions on 12 pass attempts to the former Offensive Player of the Year.
