The San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings have been named teams to watch in the race to sign a veteran wide receiver who was recently released.

The Minnesota Vikings are preparing to face the Chicago Bears in an NFC North clash on Monday night, and prior to the contest, the Vikings have made a move at wide receiver.

Here are some takeaways from the Vikings’ 27-24 win over the Bears: There were a number of times that McCarthy could’ve folded under pressure. Like when he was struggling to string together drives before halftime. Or when he immediately threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown after halftime.

But the tables were turned in the second half, with McCarthy waking up to lead the Vikings' attack. A halftime message from Minnesota head coach Kevin McConnell appears to have made an impact on McCarthy, who showed his winning pedigree with an explosive performance in the final 30 minutes of the contest.

The Minnesota Vikings came back from a 17-6 fourth quarter deficit to beat the Chicago Bears on the road in a thrilling 27-24 spectacle.

Cairo Santos has been the kicker in Chicago for the past five years, but it appears that the Bears might be thinking about making a change. The team has decided to sign former San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody to the practice squad, according to NFL Media. The move comes just three days after Moody was released.
