Silence is the noise that was heard from the doubters of J.J. McCarthy after the second-year quarterback led the Minnesota Vikings to an epic comeback win on Monday in his first-ever NFL start.
McCarthy's night got off to a terrible start with an interception in the third quarter that was returned 74-yards the other way for a Bears touchdown.
Then came the fourth quarter, when the Minnesota quarterback threw a pair of touchdown passes and added another with his legs to give the Vikings a X-X win.
