Bears vs. Vikings prediction: Ben Johnson era starts in Chicago; J.J. McCarthy makes NFL debut
The Vikings went on a spending spree of their own, bringing in reinforcements up front on both offense and defense. They also allowed starting quarterback Sam Darnold to leave in free agency, electing to turn the reins over to last year's first-round pick, J.J. McCarthy, despite the fact that they went 14-3 last year.
Jessica Johnson, born in Asheville, North Carolina, graduated from NC State University in 2008 before standing by Ben as he began his NFL coaching career in 2012. Over the years, she has been a constant presence as Johnson moved up the coaching ladder, from assistant roles to becoming one of the NFL’s most sought-after offensive minds.
The Vikings aren't going away. After Cairo Santos missed a 50-yard field goal, they drove down the field and scored on a McCarthy-to-Jefferson touchdown. They didn't get the 2-point conversion. It's now a one-score game
