Kevin O’Connell Weighs J.J. McCarthy’s Growth vs. Vikings’ Playoff Push

O’Connell admitted he’s “managing what’s best for the young quarterback, our offense, and our team” after McCarthy’s uneven outing in Sunday’s 19-17 loss to Chicago. McCarthy, now 50-of-99 with five interceptions since returning from an ankle injury, rallied late but struggled early. O’Connell wouldn’t address in-game benching questions, hoping McCarthy progresses enough to keep the job.
