J.J. McCarthy Struggles with Efficiency and Sacks Despite High Volume in Week 10 Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy attempted 42 passes in comeback mode during Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, nearly doubling his average of 22 throws per game from his initial three starts. Despite this significant increase in passing volume, McCarthy struggled with efficiency, posting a mere 5.2 yards per attempt. He also took six sacks against a Jets defense described as riddled with injuries, decimated by trades, and generally underperforming. His performance did not translate into significant production for his top wide receivers, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
