JJ McCarthi, Vikingi spoil Ben Johnson Bear

Chicago – Hello JJ McCarthi. And welcome back to Minnesota Vikings Defense.

The new ERA team in the quarterback of the quarterback began to win the return due to the NFC NFC in the NEWSultural Supar in 27-24 victories Chicago Bears.

And for as much attention, as debut McCarthi will generate – it was the defense of Viking who kept the team in the game as the misdemeanor fought.

Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams He fulfilled the first 10 passes as Chicago took 10-3 lead in the second quarter, but the bear ‘bears’ did not achieve a goal by 2:02 remained in the fourth quarter.

McCarthi seemed in fourth quarter in the fourth quarter, including the passage of 13 meters Justin Jefferson and 27 meters to Aaron Jones Sr. And his board of 14 yards in the fourth quarter put Vikings for 10 and seemed to be the final margin.

Here are the most important things to know of Monday night for both teams:

What to make by performance: If you have drawn a reasonable, but optimistic projection of the way the first start of the NFL McCarthi will be that. Frenetic looked in the first half, changing often and seems insensitive in his pocket. The interception returned to the touch in the third quarter seemed to have ended. But McCarthi, who is now 64-3 in the games started by his second year at the Faculty, settled in the second half. Takeaway after your first start? McCarthy is the winner.

Watching trend: The Vikings built the idea of ​​their work game to help McCarty transition into their role, and it started the team during the second half. Newcomer Jordan Mason In the first half, it was managed only 14 meters, but his solid run broke the bear after half and finished 68 meters at 15 nos. Mason’s appearance coincided from the first Wiking “Two Drives for Topovndown.

Apartment for I know: Needs the insult of Wiking in the first half after accumulation only 80 meters and four first falls and punches Will reichard came to the rescue. His goal of 59-yard just before half, a soldier was tied, given the achievement given the historically bad weather conditions in Chicago and was the second longest in the history of Viking. The Minnesote Record is 61 Greg Joseph yards, turned to closed indoor stadium at the USA Stadium in 2022. years. – Kevin Seifert

For almost three full quarters, Ben Johnson Era looked like he would start putting “the same old bears” monikers into bed. Chicago started the season opener on the military field with the flow and built a two-digit basin late in the third quarter behind the stand defensive performance.

But the missed bear opportunities to distance themselves from Wiking have proved expensive. After rattling the Quarterback JJ McCarthi in his debia, the bears fought to contain 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to fight in the fourth quarter.

Monday night is in the fourth loss of Chicago in the last four seasons in entry in the fourth quarter with two-digit lead. It is twice as much as any other team over that range.

To make a team trying to leave misses last season in the past, the same issues remain a problem.

Milestone: Bears saw Lead 17-6 who built after Nahshon WrightInvite-six waste during stretching that started late in the third quarter. Williams is marked for intentional grounding with Chicago in the Minnesoton line of the 34-yard. Two performances later, Cairo Santos‘An attempt to go round 50 yards went right. The Vikings then reached the setup of ownership to return to take a leading role.

Lost momentum: Dennis Allen’s defense coordinator sent a house on the third and 8 early in the third quarter with Vikingi in the field of the field. Seven pirates called McCarthi to throwing interception, resulting in the first defensive / special teams of the season 2025. Wright jumped Justin JeffersonThe road and ran a choice of 74 yards – six to give Chicago 17-6 lead. It’s a second straight season where bears broke down opening the game with a protrusion-six.

What to make from xb performance: Caleb Williams ’10 The right good to fix the game is the moves to the bers’ crevants to start a seasonal opener since 1978. years and most consecutive completion in its NFL career. But things changed dramatically in the second half. He finished 20 out of 34 for 191 yards and scored td rush and passed TD. His passer-by grade was 84.3 and was fired twice.

Trend for worrying: The bears are marked 12 times and announced 127 penalty yards. Pre-Snap Permes were a question in the whole extent camp and the trend of bears could not reach after four false begin in the first half. Two defensive intermittent stirring sent to the Minnesota points – goal in the field of 31 yards and Wiking go ahead. – Courtney Cronin
