On this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, I break down the Vikings’ improbable Monday night comeback win over the Chicago Bears, a game that will be remembered as JJ McCarthy’s true NFL baptism. For three quarters, it looked like Minnesota had no answers. McCarthy struggled to get the ball out on time, the offense barely cracked 100 yards, and Chicago’s defense kept him rattled. Bears fans had to be feeling comfortable—until everything flipped in the fourth quarter.McCarthy went from looking lost to looking like a poised franchise quarterback almost instantly. He engineered three consecutive touchdown drives—60, 50, and 68 yards—that completely changed the game. What stood out most was his confidence: the timing, the anticipation, and even his willingness to run when needed. It felt like we were watching a different player by the end of the night.On the Bears’ side, Caleb Williams showed flashes of his incredible playmaking ability, escaping pressure and making throws that only a handful of quarterbacks can make. But he also missed open receivers and couldn’t close the door when it mattered. Combine that with another missed field goal and a late defensive collapse, and Chicago let a divisional win slip away.For Vikings fans, this was the start of something special. McCarthy’s first NFL game ended not in disappointment, but in celebration—with the rookie showing exactly why Minnesota invested in him. For Bears fans, it was a gut punch. One fan base left elated, the other left shaking their heads.
