With his first career NFL start coming on "Monday Night Football," it took awhile for Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy to find a rhythm. But once he did, he accomplished a major milestone and led his team to a big comeback win.
Early in the fourth quarter with his team trailing the Chicago Bears 17-6, McCarthy threw his first career NFL touchdown pass.
And in fitting fashion, McCarthy's first touchdown strike went to Justin Jefferson, the receiver who will likely catch many more of them in the future as well.
McCarthy threw a laser from the 20-yard-line to the middle of the end zone. Jefferson came up with the catch in between multiple defenders.
