"New Cornball QB in NFC North": NFL Fans React to J.J. McCarthy Talking About Having an Alter Ego He Called “Nine”
McCarthy, returning from injury, uses a competitive alter ego he calls "nine" to maintain focus and will challenge the Ravens in Week 10, Vikings coach says.
- Last week, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Jackson returned from injury and will host the Vikings on Sunday, 1 p.m. EST.
- Because McCarthy missed all of last year and is still adjusting in his second NFL season, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell is easing him into the starting role to restore rhythm and confidence.
- Notably, McCarthy became the first player in NFL history with two or more passing TDs and at least one rushing TD in two of his first three games, completing 14 of 25 for 143 yards in Week 9.
- McCarthy's play has Minnesota Vikings firmly positioned in the NFC playoff race, although some commentators remain unconvinced, with Colin Cowherd criticizing him this past week.
- On November 5 McCarthy described an alter ego called `nine` and said he uses breathing and visualization techniques to maintain stamina, which the Vikings and Baltimore Ravens will consider in Week 10.
