## Resource

The Vikings’ QB battle is heating up as veteran Kyler Murray faces off against rookie J.J. McCarthy, with experience tipping the scales—but coach Kevin O’Connell and star receiver Justin Jefferson insist it’s not decided yet. Jefferson, who’s still crushing yardage records despite a down year, says whoever wins the job must earn it—and he’s ready to bring his A-game, whether it’s Murray or McCarthy under center. With the team’s offense struggling last season, the preseason will be the real litmus test as both QBs fight for the starting nod. And hey, Jefferson’s just hoping whoever wins can get him back in the end zone—and maybe even inspire a new Griddy dance routine.
