F or the first time this year, Vikings fans filled the bleachers at TCO Performance Center on Saturday afternoon.

McCarthy is taking over as the team's starting quarterback from Sam Darnold. Of course, Darnold left after just one elite season with the Vikings and signed a three-year, $100.5 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks.
