Open Extended ReactionsMINNEAPOLIS -- Before going to bed Friday night, J.J. McCarthy felt his emotions bubble up. McCarthy finished with four completions in seven attempts for 30 yards while also converting a fourth down with an 8-yard run. McCarthy's most notable moment came one play later when he converted the first down with his 8-yard scramble. McCarthy might not play again before the team's Sept. 8 regular-season opener at the Chicago Bears on "Monday Night Football." "It's never going to be perfect, but it felt like we were a football team going in the right direction."
