WATCH: Blazing hot start by Jordan Addison gets the Vikings on the board

It was a typical start for the Vikings at Solider Field. Minnesota drove down the field on its first possession but Aaron Jones fumbled the ball on the Bears’ two-yard line. Chicago then would take the ball down the field and score a touchdown to put the Bears up 7-0.

But thanks to second-year wide receiver Jordan Addison, the Vikings would bounce back. Addison had a couple of stellar catches, including a 45-yard reception to get the Vikings inside the Bears’ five-yard line. Once Minnesota got close to the goal line, the Vikings wouldn’t try to run the football — like last time. This time, Kevin O’Connell turned to his red-hot receiver, and Sam Darnold connected with Addison for a score to tie the game at 7-7.

Addison currently has three catches for 57 yards and a score. His counterpart, Justin Jefferson, has been held catchless so far in the contest. You can guess that the Vikings will try to get Jefferson going here in the near going.
