J.J. McCarthy easily won best first week in the NFL regular season.

"Welcome to the world Rome Micah McCarthy," Kuropas wrote in a shared post with McCarthy. "The sweetest, most perfect gift from God!! We are so unbelievably blessed to be your parents."

McCarthy wrote in the comments, "God is GREAT!... & so are you my love @katyakuropas."

Kuropas, McCarthy's high school sweetheart, shared a great photo of dad holding baby Rome.

Kuropas followed it up with another photo on her Instagram Stories of the Michigan Wolverines hero and national champion taking Rome out of the hospital in an infant car seat, presumably going home.

"Dad mode," Kuropas, who got engaged to McCarthy weeks after the natty, captioned it.

Even though the 22-year-old QB1 missed practice this week, McCarthy is expected to still start in another marquee game on Sunday Night Football for his home debut against the Atlanta Falcons.

The crowd will be electric, and the proud papa will get thunderous applause to cap off his amazing first week of the NFL regular season. It will be nearly impossible to top it, except ending this year with a Lombardi Trophy in his hand for the Vikings first ever Super Bowl holding Rome.

Now that would be the fairytale ending.
