"Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is suddenly fighting back against the "sucks" allegations. Sunday night's 34-26 victory over the Cowboys was not only his second straight as a starter, but another game in which he showcased some competent quarterback play. Completing 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards, three total touchdowns, and an interception is fine. It's fine! By the second quarter, McCarthy was feeling good enough about his performance to introduce a little dance."
"McCarthy turned sheepish when he was asked about the celebration after the game. "Um, I did it in practice, and I was told not to do it, so just me, being who I am, it's like ooh, now I'm more enticed to do it," he said in the tone of voice of someone who just got caught doing wrestling moves in the house. "I'll definitely get a minus for that one," he added."
J.J. McCarthy led the Vikings to a 34-26 victory over the Cowboys, marking his second straight win as a starter and showing competent quarterback play. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards, accounted for three total touchdowns, and threw one interception. On a goal-line naked bootleg, McCarthy ran into the end zone and performed the griddy celebration. McCarthy acknowledged practicing the dance and suggested he would be penalized for it. Head coach Kevin O'Connell described the finish as not special, called it entertaining, and indicated a preference for a different display.
