Kevin O'Connell Calls Out J.J. McCarthy's Griddy on TD in Vikings' 34-26 Win at Dallas
Despite coach Kevin O'Connell's orders, Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy performed a modified 'Griddy' dance after a key touchdown during Minnesota's 34-26 win over Dallas.
- On Sunday night at AT&T Stadium, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy slowed before the goal line on a Q2 bootleg and performed a modified "Griddy" despite coach Kevin O'Connell's warning.
- Because he had been told not to do it in games, J.J. McCarthy said, `'I did it in practice, and I was told not to do it, so just me being who I am, it's like, 'Oh, now I'm more enticed to do it,'`'.
- After an early interception, J.J. McCarthy completed eight of his next 10 passes, including a 20-yard touchdown to Jalen Nailor and a 29-yard throw to T.J. Hockenson called "spectacular" by Kevin O'Connell.
- At the postgame press conference, Kevin O'Connell said, 'It was entertaining,' but also noted the moment was not 'special,' amid visible tension with McCarthy, Kevin Seifert reported.
- Looking ahead to the offseason, McCarthy's recent play could influence Vikings front office plans, as Minnesota was out of playoff contention before kickoff and McCarthy has three more weeks to build his case.
