J.J. McCarthy may not be playing in his rookie season because of a devastating meniscal tear, but he has seen his Minnesota Vikings surpass expectations and contend for the NFC North title.
On Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, Sam Darnold made history. He completed 33 of 43 attempts for three touchdowns against an interception in the 27-25 win. The win was his 14th, the most by a QB in their first season with a new team.
McCarthy could only marvel at such dominance, plastering a happy-tears emoji onto a link banner in his Instagram Stories:
