For the first time this season, J.J. McCarthy looked comfortable as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings during the team's Week 14 shutout victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
Minnesota walked off the field with a 31-0 win, and McCarthy finished his day completing 16-of-23 passes (69.6 percent completion rate) for 163 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions to earn an impressive 129.2 passer rating.
It was arguably the best performance of the 22-year-old McCarthy's season and one that will hopefully be a preview of what's to come during the rest of his 2025 campaign with the Vikings.
