MINNEAPOLIS — Somehow, Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison realized that quarterback Sam Darnold‘s deep pass was going to be significantly underthrown. Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes did not.

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

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

It was Darnold’s 24th touchdown pass of the season, on a play where he couldn’t step into the throw because of 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.
