London, Addison and Vikings
Digest more
Jordan Addison being benched for the first quarter of Sunday's game in London was due to the third-year wide receiver missing a walkthrough session during the week, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell revealed in his postgame press conference.
Last week, Addison started and played 96 percent of the offensive snaps. He caught four passes for 114 yards on eight targets. On his biggest play of the day — an 81-yard catch and run — Addison was somehow chased down and tackled short of the end zone by Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson.
