The 2025 Minnesota Vikings season has fallen off a cliff in recent weeks. One of the biggest reasons has been the offense’s struggles this season. It starts with J.J. McCarthy under center because he has struggled as a quarterback in his first full season running the offense. It has been a rough season for McCarthy, and he said many of his struggles have stemmed from overthinking. After being cleared this week, the goal is to stop that.

When talking to the media on Thursday, McCarthy said that he is prone to overthinking in games, especially with his mechanics. He spoke with Kevin O’Connell and noted that the goal is to go out and execute and play ball. McCarthy said he is a natural overthinker, and he wanted to make the reps as perfect as possible.
