The Minnesota Vikings are up 17-10 at halftime versus the Buccaneers, but man, what a first half! Star wide receiver Justin Jefferson went down with an ankle injury in the first half and is questionable to return. Talk about a gut punch.
Addison Goes Clutch
With Jefferson out, Jordan Addison absolutely stepped up. Kyler Murray found him for a massive 30-yard pass into Bucs territory. Two plays later, Addison made a ridiculous airborne snag for a 41-yard touchdown from Murray! That score, with 4:11 left, made it 17-10 Vikings. Pure clutch.
Injuries & Halftime Leads
The Vikings defense forced a punt, pressuring Baker Mayfield for an incompletion with 1:46 to go. They tried another deep shot to Addison, but it didn’t connect. Holding that seven-point lead after losing Jefferson is huge. The Bucs also saw Jalen McMillan ruled out with a knee injury. Brutal.
What’s next? Can Addison keep that fire going? This game is far from over!
