"CHICAGO -- Hello J.J. McCarthy. And welcome back to the Minnesota Vikings defense. The team's new era at quarterback began with a rousing comeback victory over its NFC North rival in a 27-24 win over the Chicago Bears. And for as much attention as McCarthy's debut will generate -- it was the Vikings' defense that kept it in the game while the offense struggled."
"Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed his first 10 passes as Chicago took a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, but the Bears offense didn't score again until 2:02 remained in the fourth quarter. McCarthy accounted for three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including passes of 13 to Justin Jefferson and 27 yards to Aaron Jones Sr., and his 14-yard scramble in the fourth quarter put the Vikings up by 10 an accounted for the final margin."
