"This is going to be a process for our team, Our young quarterback is going to make some plays. He's going to make some unbelievable throws. ... And then other times he's going to have an attempt and just miss something a little long, and we will go back and try to fix it. Sometimes the fundamentals are going to be right, the technique is going to be right, but he's learning on the fly right now. The way you overcome that is by the full group's execution level being to a certain standard that we can go try to compete and win with."
"The Vikings scored 21 points in the fourth quarter of their Week 1 victory over the Chicago Bears, but in they have managed just 12 points over the other seven quarters of this young season. McCarthy has taken nine sacks, including six on Sunday night. The Falcons intercepted him twice and he fumbled three times, including twice when he dropped the ball without being hit, and he lost one. His off-target rate was 28.6%, tied for the second-highest rate among qualified quarterbacks in Week 2."
