J.J. McCarthy is coming off the best game of his career in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders. The team shut out Washington, and they were able to look the way folks thought they would all year in the game last week. And despite the momentum he finds himself in, one analyst is suggesting that fans not overinvest in what they saw in Week 14.

When KFAN’s Paul Allen blasted the "Nine" act, O’Connell didn’t disagree, stressing that McCarthy just needs to be authentic.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell fought that narrative a little on Wednesday, saying, “If it was that simple, I would probably get a lot more rest.”

Against the Commanders, the Vikings offense featured more shotgun, fewer play-action dropbacks and quicker first-read throws.

The team has been linked to top running back prospect Jeremiyah Love in mock drafts. He would be able to help them establish the run better, take some pressure off McCarthy, so that he can find more success. All while they develop him more and give him the reps he needs for sustained success.

“It’s definitely reassuring ,” McCarthy said in his postgame press conference. “I always knew I had that and I always knew the potential is there, but I’m looking at it right now and there’s so many ways I could get better. I’m so far from where I want to be, so it’s just great to get the win and grow in this game.”
