This was the first NFL regular-season start for McCarthy, who suffered a season-ending knee injury during Minnesota’s first preseason game last year,
Monday’s game also featured two top 10 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Bears selected Williams with the first overall pick out of USC, while the Vikings took former Michigan star McCarthy with the 10th overall pick.
Here are the highlights, along with analysis from FOX Sports’ Greg Auman.
