Vikings’ passing attack is as potent as ever with Addison’s surge as Bears prepare for a rematch
Associated PressMINNEAPOLIS — When the Chicago Bears were busy keeping Justin Jefferson quiet last month, the Minnesota Vikings put Jordan Addison to work. “We always say that we’re the best duo in the entire league,” Jefferson said after he and his sidekick reached a new height in the rich history of Vikings receivers last week in a 42-21 victory over Atlanta that served as a breakthrough of sorts for an offense that hadn’t yet hit its highest gear. “Especially with how Justin gets defended, normally the player that’s defending Jordan or even if it’s within zone coverages, these guys know that they’re being told this guy will be wide open if you don’t get your hands on him, and that couldn’t be more true,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said. “Now, he’s actually proven that he can play through that contact and play down the field through contact.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “That’s all part of what we projected with Jordan, knowing he had elite quickness, separation skills, fantastic hands and ball tracking,” O’Connell said.
