Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy had multiple highlight moments in his team's 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.

McCarthy led the Vikings to a huge win in Detroit just hours after ESPN's experts said Minnesota's decision to go with McCarthy over Sam Darnold was "horrendous."

“Shed a lot of blood and sweat and tears here. I’m a Michigan Man through and through,” McCarthy said. “I love this state. I love everything that went into cultivating and crafting who I am as an individual, who I am as a football player.”

With his tackle attempt on McCarthy, Hutchinson may have a fine coming his way. Normally in the NFL, players are fined up to $17,389 for a first leg whip offense, which can increase to $23,186 upon a second violation during the same season.

J.J. McCarthy's first full season as a pro won't be quite so full after all. The Minnesota Vikings quarterback suffered an ankle sprain during his team's "Sunday Night Football" loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2, according to coach Kevin O'Connell.

While it was a tough 27-24 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, there were some moments to celebrate for the Lions as they continue to find their rhythm this season.

The Minnesota Vikings have confirmed Carson Wentz as the starting quarterback against the Los Angeles Chargers, while also providing a final update on JJ McCarthy’s return.

Lions fans' hope is simple: let the Lions run wild, and let J.J. walk away still proud, but not victorious in Michigan.
