Drew Brees’ Vikings assessment of J.J. McCarthy feels impossible to ignore

After experiencing some significant struggles in his previous three starts, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy looked like a man on a mission during the team's 31-0 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

McCarthy threw for three touchdowns, finished with a 129.2 passer rating, didn't turn the ball over once, and helped the Vikings' offense find the end zone during all four of their trips inside the red zone during the matchup.

Towards the end of the TV broadcast on FOX, former NFL quarterback Drew Brees, who now works for FOX as a color commentator during games this season, shared some intriguing thoughts about what McCarthy's performance against the Commanders on Sunday could mean for his future.
