Only QB to lead his team to victory after a 10 point deficit in the 4th quarter of his debut? Steve Young.
Only other Vikings QB to throw 2 TD in debut? Fran Tarkenton

It's only one game. Kid has some heart and is talented though!

 

[CatDaddy]

Calm down - NFL is scripted. JJ is playing coy so we can have a comeback to talk about!

^^^This aged well!^^^

Gotta admit I was pissed after that pick six and almost stopped watching. I think not playing any preseason has a lot to do with the way they started that game. I've never understood the reasoning behind not playing those games, especially for a rookie with no NFL experience. It's just as likely they get injured in game 1 as the preseason. Was great to see how he and the rest of the team responded after that though, they kept fighting and stuck together and got a much needed division win on the road. Kid looks like he has the makings of a good to great QB, time will tell obviously.

Yep I was off the deep end.

 

[NDSportsman]

Harrison Smith get's healthy and the defense will look better. He is the defensive on field brain. I hope it is not serious. They are pretty tight lipped about the "illness" that has kept him down for almost a month.

He's old and done IMO should have retired.

 

[wslayer]

I hope somone rips that thing off and throws it into the stands...

Looks stupid when out in game time . Kinda surprised anything around the neck is permitted.

This was like reading a dog passed away and then came back to life.
Sure nice being on the comeback side for the local fm radio/tv purposes throughout the week.
Take aways: JJ sure does seem to have that "it" factor mentality that ages well. Vikes need to someday learn not to give up the easy 7-12 yard passes one of these years and also not to give the opposition that scary last possession at the end of games by focusing on getting the last crucial 1st down instead of running up the middle every time and giving the ball back for the scary last 2 min drill. Thankfully, chandler ran it out of the endzone and bears only had 1 timeout left.
