J.J. McCarthy risked a scolding for a celebration Vikings fans loved

The Minnesota Vikings had an impressive win on "Sunday Night Football," defeating the Dallas Cowboys by a final score of 34-26.

The best thing about the win was that J.J. McCarthy had one of the best performances of his young career, completing 15-of-24 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while also adding a rushing touchdown. The rushing touchdown showed just how good McCarthy was feeling, because he griddy’d his way into the end zone.

Turns out, his celebratory dance may have irritated his coach a little bit. Following the game, Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell joked about not being a fan of McCarthy‘s dance into the end zone.
