In the final game of the NFL's opening week, the Chicago Bears hosted the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams underwent significant offseason changes this season. The Bears brought in a new coaching staff, while the Vikings promoted J.J. McCarthy to the starting lineup, making this his first NFL regular-season game.
Finally, due to a botched final play, Moore, wearing a Chicago Bears football jersey, was called for illegal pre-snap movement, resulting in a four-second loss and a five-yard penalty. Ultimately, the Vikings secured their season opener in a thrilling game.
In terms of statistics, JJ McCarthy, wearing the No. 9 Minnesota Vikings football jersey, completed 13 of 20 passes for 143 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He also had 2 rushes for 25 yards and 1 touchdown. Running back Jordan Mason rushed for 68 yards on 15 occasions. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught the ball 3 times for 44 yards and 1 touchdown.
