It wasn’t pretty but….

JJ's first career start, Division rival, on the road, MNF, no Harry, no Addison, no Darrisaw... and they got out alive.  Perspective: From 2001-2014, the Vikings in 14 trips to Soldier Field won once...

...the game JJ attended as a 4-year-old Bears fan 

Chicago has been more of a house of horrors for the Vikings than Lambeau much of this century.  The Vikings win there, I'm not very particular about how.

First half looked like every other loss in Chicago lately.  Can't run, defense T'ing off on the pass.  So yeah, I will take the division wins however they happen.

Also, how about the block by TJ on JJ's run. Walled off the DB forever.

JJ started out very rough, zero doubt about it. You can see he hadn't played in a real game in a long time. Rusty. He was under some pressure. The D was kind of getting eaten up by some good play from Williams. But lets give Will the Thrill a big shout out for that 59 yard FG, tied for longest in Soldier Field history. Just fucking nailed that kick. Momentum switched and then the pick 6. Brutal. But the kid didn't blink, man. His thought was then that the comeback was just going to be epic. And it was....on the road against a big rival on MNF. The kid has no 'Bright Lights Syndrome', its not in his DNA. The old Viking narratives and bugaboos won't apply with McCarthy.
