MINNEAPOLIS – Somehow, Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison realized quarterback Sam Darnold’s deep pass would be significantly suppressed. Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes did not.

The result was a 49-yard touchdown pass from Darnold to Addison that brought the Vikings even with the Falcons, 7-7, with 37 seconds left in the first quarter.

It was Addison’s third touchdown in the Vikings’ last four games.

It was Darnold’s 24th touchdown pass of the season, on a play in which he was unable to throw due to a strong Falcons pass rush. Darnold directed each of his first three passes Sunday to Addison, who caught two of them for a total of 65 yards.
