Misery Index · Content
Vikings fans split between defending J.McCarthy's 9-for-9 start and reminding everyone it came against a winless.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 31-0 shutout with J.McCarthy connecting deep to J.Addison and finding J.Jefferson over the middle, plus an A.Van Ginkel pick-six setup off the T.McLaurin target — about as clean a Sunday as this fanbase has seen in a month. The McCarthy progress is real enough to quiet the tank-for-a-quarterback crowd, at least for a week. Whether one tidy game against a struggling WAS offense actually answers anything is the question nobody seems ready to commit to.
