Vikings vs. Bears Highlights: Minnesota Pulls Off 27-24 Comeback Win on MNF
Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season came to a close with one final highly anticipated matchup, as second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings went on the road and pulled off a comeback win against fellow sophomore signal-caller Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football, 27-24.
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.
