What did Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison do to land in head coach Kevin O’Connell’s doghouse?
During the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, O’Connell benched the third-year WR. Following Minnesota’s 21-17 win in London, the coach revealed why.
Kevin O’Connell was holding Jordan Addison accountable
“[Addison] missed a walkthrough this week,” the coach said. “Those type of things aren’t in alignment with our standards, and we wanted to make sure he was held accountable for that. But at the same time, he knows that. I thought he handled it professionally. He spoke with the team to let them know that, whenever I give him the opportunity to go in the game, they can count on him and he makes the game-winning catch.”
Addison caught the winning touchdown on a 12-yard pass from quarterback Carson Wentz with 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He finished with five receptions for 41 yards and one TD catch.
