Taunting Call on J.J. McCarthy Stalls Drive, Vikings Settle for Field Goal

Minnesota moved the ball efficiently on its opening drive, but a costly taunting penalty on J.J. McCarthy halted momentum. After completions to Justin Jefferson moved the Minnesota Vikings inside the red zone, McCarthy’s six-yard scramble was flagged, setting up long yardage. Minnesota couldn’t recover, settling for a 43-yard Will Reichard field goal and a 3–0 lead.
