McCarthy Delivers 3 TDs in Win, Draws Coach's Ire for Griddy Celebration

J.J. McCarthy led the Vikings to a 34-26 win over the Cowboys, delivering his best performance with three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). He completed 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards and added 15 rushing yards, marking his second consecutive win since returning from injury with six total touchdowns in those starts. However, McCarthy's modified "Griddy" touchdown dance displeased coach Kevin O'Connell, as McCarthy admitted he had been warned against it. He aims to build on this momentum as the Vikings continue their season.
