Episode notes
McCarthy's Debut Was Volatile But Salvaged
- JJ McCarthy showed clear NFL-speed adjustment issues early but finished strong with big fourth-quarter production.
- Expect passing-game volatility while McCarthy and the Vikings offensive line settle into the season.
Jordan Mason Emerged As Early Lead Back
- Jordan Mason led the Vikings in carries and snaps and looked more effective than Aaron Jones on early downhill runs.
- Kevin O'Connell likely will lean into Mason's role to stabilize the offense and protect McCarthy's development.
Caleb Williams Is Electric But Unrefined
- Caleb Williams flashed scrambling speed and big-play ability but also bailed on some downfield opportunities and slowed later in the game.
- The Bears' offense needs time for chemistry; Williams and Ben Johnson will show growing pains.
