NFL Week1 MNF: Minnesota Vikings Vs Chicago Bears

The NFL week 1 finale is an interesting one. Monday Night Football will feature two 2nd year quarterbacks hoping to take the NFC North by storm. The Minnesota Vikings had a tremendous 2024 regular season, finishing the season 14-3, but were quickly eliminated in the playoffs. The Vikings decided not to resign veteran quarterback Sam Darnold, instead sticking with their plan to roll with J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy sat out last year with meniscus tear.Meanwhile the Chicago Bears struggled last season behind rookie Caleb Williams, finishing 5-12 & in last place in the division. The Bears decided to retool to help Williams. Probably their most important addition is their new head coach Ben Johnson who had masterminded the resurgent Detroit Lions offense.  Which young QB will power their team to a week 1 win? Mike and Mo share their keys to the game, and discuss which team they'd put their money on. This week Hidden Gems Football will take a look at:0:00 Intro0:53 Mike Stephs Take5:33 Mo's Take6:59 The Hidden Gems7:44 The Hidden BeautyThank you for watching.
