Rookie J.J. McCarthy rebounded from an ill-advised throw that was intercepted by Raiders starting cornerback Jack Jones with two touchdown passes against backups, a mixed but promising preseason debut for the Vikings’future franchise quarterback in a 24-23 victory over the Raiders on Saturday.

Rookie Will Reichard kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired to stop the Vikings’ 10-game preseason losing streak. The Vikings last won an exhibition on Aug. 24, 2019, at home against the Cardinals.

The Vikings have given newcomer Sam Darnold the majority of the turns with the first team in practice and are trending toward starting the season with the third overall pick in the 2018 draft, but he’s just keeping the throne warm for McCarthy.

After Darnold went 4 for 8 for 59 yards on the opening drive that stalled at the 4-yard line with consecutive end-zone incompletions, McCarthy entered the game to an eager roar from the crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium. In six possessions, the 10th overall pick in the draft from national champion Michigan went 11 for 17 for 188 yards.
