Minnesota Vikings Best Plays vs. Chicago Bears in Week 1 | 2025 NFL Season

CALEB WILLIAMS ON THIS OPENING
DRIVE. >> Joe: IT’S SWIFT AND A NICE
PLAY IS MADE. GETTING THROUGH AND MAKING THAT
STOP IS LEVI DRAKE RODRIGUEZ. A LOSS OF THREE TO BRING UP
THIRD DOWN. >> Troy: YEAH, JUST NOT MUCH
MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER. >> Joe: THE THROW IS LOW AND
AWAY. DJ MOORE MAKES THE CATCH, BUT
TACKLED BY ISAIAH RODGERS. IT’S FOURTH DOWN. THINGS FIRST, AND THEN WE’LL GO
FROM THERE. >> Joe: WELL, THEY’RE GOING TO
PUSH IT AND WHY NOT? NAILOR, THERE’S ACTION.
THEY’VE GOT ONE TIME OUT LEFT. SO IT IS RIGHT IN THAT RANGE.
>> Joe: 59 YARD TRY BY REICHARD.
11 SECONDS TO GO. HIGH SNAP, REICHARD, HE’S GOT
IT! AND IT’S A NEW CAREER HIGH FOR
WILL REICHARD. WHEN CALEB GOES BACK AND
WATCHES THIS FILM, HE’S GOING TO SEE SOME THINGS THAT HE
WISHES HE HAD THROWN. BUT OVERALL, I THINK HE’S
HANDLED EVERYTHING REALLY WELL AGAINST AN UNPREDICTABLE
DEFENSE. >> Joe: PRICE WILL FIELD IT.
NICE MOVE. RIGHT UP THE GUT.
AND THE VIKINGS WILL START YEARS, WHEN HE WAS CALLING THE
PLAYS. >> Troy: JUST ABLE TO GET IT
AWAY WITH PRESSURE IN HIS FACE TO DELIVER A STRIKE.
>> Joe: PLAY ACTION. THAT IS THE ROOKIE, LUTHER
BURDEN III. THAT HAS HIT THE BEARS HARD.
NOW IT HITS MINNESOTA WITH BLAKE CASHMAN. AGAIN WITH MASON ABLE TO BREAK
IT, RUMBLING DOWN NEAR THE 35. HAD TO START THIS DRIVE, THEY
HAVE GOT TO CAPITALIZE. OBVIOUSLY THEY’RE ALREADY IN
FIELD GOAL RANGE, BUT THEY’VE GOT TO COME AWAY WITH THE
TOUCHDOWN. >> Joe: THEY FAKE IT TO MASON.
MCCARTHY PROTECTED AND THE WILL COME DOWN AND HE WAS OPEN.
HE’S GOT A CHANCE., BUT MONTEZ SWEAT SAVES IT.
>> Joe: THIRD DOWN AND FIVE. GOOD PROTECTION, OVER THE
MIDDLE, IT’S CAUGHT FOR A TOUCHDOWN.
JEFFERSON! >> Joe: THE NEXT GEN STATS SAID
OWENS TRAVELED 27 YARDS TO MAKE THAT TACKLE IN THE OPEN FIELD.
A BIG PLAY. FIRST DOWN FROM THE 25.
HE HAS TO PULL IT DOWN, AND IT BLOCKERS.
HE JUST GETS RIGHT IN THE FACE OF CALEB WILLIAMS.
>> Joe: THAT’S A LOSS OF EIGHT. FIRST SACK OF THE NIGHT AND NOW
IT’S SWIFT, GETTING WRAPPED UP THEY CAN’T GO DOWN THE FIELD.
>> Joe: BACK-TO-BACK TACKLES FOR A LOSS.
NOW THIRD AND 19. THROW.
WE’VE SEEN HIM MAKE SOME WILD INTERCEPTIONS OVER HIS CAREER.
NOT THAT HE HAD A CHANCE TO CATCH THAT, BUT JUST TO GET HIS
HAND ON IT WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
>> Joe: HE HAD TWO PICK SIXES LAST YEAR.
THE LINE DRIVE PUNT. MYLES PRICE, HE’S BEEN GOOD.
THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM. >> Joe: YOU CAN SEE THEM GO TO
THE GROUND AND YOU ASSUME THEY GOT TUGGED, WHERE HE IS
EXPECTING THE BALL. WHO IS BACK IN THE BALL GAME.
BUT WHEN THEY’RE BRINGING IN THE ALL-OUT BLITZ, THEY’RE
EXPECTING THE BALL TO COME OUT QUICKER THAN WHAT THEY DID.
MCCARTHY, PASS IS CAUGHT, SPINNING GRAB BY AARON JONES.
AND SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, THE ANY LINEBACKER TO RUN WITH THE
ABILITY OF AARON JONES. >> Joe: PLAY CLOCK INSIDE OF
FIVE. SECOND TWO POINT TRY AND
BEGGING FOR THE BALL WHERE THEY IN THERE WHERE THEY WERE UP
AGAINST THE ROPES. >> Joe: THEY HAVE NOW COME OUT
STARTING TO SWING AS THEY LEAD BY THREE.
AND THEY TAKE OVER AT THEIR OWN 32.
AFTER THAT 25 YARD PUNT. >> Joe: BEARS WON A GOOD PART
OF THIS GAME UPFRONT DEFENSIVELY, BUT THEY’VE BEEN
ON THE LOSING END IN THE LAST THREE POSSESSIONS.
THIELEN IN MOTION. MCCARTHY KEEPS, HE’S GOT IT,
AND FORCES HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE, TOUCHDOWN! GOT THEIR HANDS. TEAM OUT HERE
NOW. IT’S A DOOZY. IT’S MORE. YOU GOT TO GET RID OF IT. HE
DOES. AND MONANGAI CAN’T MAKE A PLAY. AND THAT’S IT. THE
MINNESOTA VIKINGS WILL START THIS SEASON ONE ZERO WITH THIS
STRONG COMEBACK AND A WIN ON THE ROAD HERE IN CHICAGO. KEVIN
O’CONNELL STARTS ONE ZERO BEN

  3. Tough start but honestly the bears looked pretty good as well. Gained momentum after they made some chemistry. Jj looked hungry and looked confident leading the offense. I'm willing to give him time. I'd bet he gets better every game

  6. Now that's the vikings we know great comeback like always jj thanks for calming down and the touchdown keep winning can't wait to see the vikings in November 23rd skol vikings

  12. Tell you what at this rate and point KOC is seriously making a case as the second best coach in Vikings history. He could very well surpass even Bud Grant, definitely if he gets them a Super Bowl, I imagine he’s gonna be Minnesota’s coach for a very long time and I’d be shocked if his tenure ends without at least one Super Bowl appearance.

  34. I read the comments for the first half of this game and most people was dragging JJ saying the vikings not going to win with him at QB he has a good 2nd half now people praising him taking about they knew he was good make your mind up stick what you believe in smh

  35. Yep, this is why Jim Harbaugh wanted him at Michigan. He's resourceful, tough, and finds ways to win. I don't think he'll throw for over 4,000 yards this year, but he'll give the team a chance to win a game. He's proven that on every level he's played at.

  44. JJ McCarthy in his debut game in the NFL. Throws for 3 touchdowns (one was a pick six), but it still counts as a touchown, right, and runs for another. GREAT GAME……..
