CHICAGO -- Everyone in the Minnesota Vikings locker room had their own favorite J.J. McCarthy moment of the night. And in the end, they all added up to a thrilling 27-24 victory over the Chicago Bears.
Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave recalled McCarthy telling him that "he's got us" as the team trudged off the field at halftime, trailing by four points after an anemic offensive showing. Coach Kevin O'Connell noted the "unbelievable look" in McCarthy's eyes as the Vikings launched into a fourth-quarter comeback, with McCarthy accounting for three touchdowns.
