The Vikings narrowly defeated the Bears to get their season opener
In the final game of the NFL's opening week, the Chicago Bears hosted the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams underwent significant offseason changes this season. The Bears brought in a new coaching staff, while the Vikings promoted J.J. McCarthy to the starting lineup, making this his first NFL regular-season game.
Finally, due to a botched final play, Moore, wearing a Chicago Bears football jersey, was called for illegal pre-snap movement, resulting in a four-second loss and a five-yard penalty. Ultimately, the Vikings secured their season opener in a thrilling game.
In terms of statistics, JJ McCarthy, wearing the No. 9 Minnesota Vikings football jersey, completed 13 of 20 passes for 143 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He also had 2 rushes for 25 yards and 1 touchdown. Running back Jordan Mason rushed for 68 yards on 15 occasions. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught the ball 3 times for 44 yards and 1 touchdown.
