The Minnesota Vikings have a tough test in front of them in Week 1, and this possible scenario could send the team's fans into chaos. The Vikings underwent some notable changes this offseason on both sides of the ball, but none was bigger than pivoting from Sam Darnold and handing the keys to J.J. McCarthy.
The de facto rookie missed all of the 2024 NFL regular season with a knee injury but is now back in the mix and hopes to keep the Vikings atop the NFL. However, with a young QB comes some bumpy roads, as it's rare for someone like McCarthy to hit the ground running.
