As the Minnesota Vikings prepare for a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, they will be without their QB1. J.J. McCarthy is missing his second straight game after sustaining an ankle sprain in Week 2. Before being sidelined, McCarthy led the Vikings to a 1-1 record with some up-and-down play.
Completing 58.5% of his passes for 301 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions, McCarthy has had promising moments and concerning moments, like most talented, young quarterbacks. While everyone acknowledges he has only had two starts, that hasn’t stopped some people from asking tough questions about McCarthy.
