JJ McCarthy marked his delayed NFL debut with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes as the Minnesota Vikings came from behind to beat the Chicago Bears 27-24.

Quarterback McCarthy, who missed his entire rookie campaign through injury, also ran in a score of his own as Ben Johnson made a losing start to his tenure as Bears coach.
