Minnesota staged a comeback win over Chicago 27-24 as J.J. McCarthy clicked late, lifting a sleepy offense with three fourth‑quarter TDs. The Vikings’ defense held down Caleb Williams and the Bears until McCarthy found rhythm, while Jordan Mason’s grind in the backfield and Will Reichard’s leg helped tilt field position and the scoreboard. Justin Jefferson stayed a fantasy beacon, and Chicago’s penalties and a late pick‑six by Nahshon Wright kept the game tight.

Key fantasy takeaways: McCarthy’s late surge boosts his immediate streamer appeal, Jefferson remains league‑winning, and Mason’s second‑half burst signals a growing Minnesota rushing floor. Bears’ Caleb Williams flashed upside but inconsistent tempo and costly penalties limited scoring opportunities. Look ahead to Vikings@Falcons with McCarthy gaining comfort and Chicago dialing in Williams under pressure.
