Kirk Herbstreit enjoyed what he saw from Minnesota Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy in his NFL debut on Monday night. On X/Twitter, Herbstreit reacted to McCarthy leading the Vikings to a comeback win over the Chicago Bears.
“9 in white weathered the storm early when things weren’t going well and just won his team over right before all of our eyes!!!” Kirk Herbstreit wrote. “Congrats [JJ McCarthy].”
McCarthy led the Vikings to a 27-24 win over the Bears to close out Week 1 of the NFL season. It was a tough start for the former Michigan star, throwing a pick-six in the third quarter to give the Bears a 17-6 lead. But McCarthy continued to battle in the fourth quarter, throwing two TD passes and running for one to earn his first NFL win.
