Fans were irked during the Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans game after a penalty was thrown on Titans safety Mike Brown for a crushing hit on wide receiver Jordan Addison.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw a pass to Addison in the end zone. There were about three defenders around Addison on the play. Brown leaned with his shoulder and appeared to hit Addison right in the chest to break up the play.
The hit jarred the ball loose, and it appeared Minnesota turned the ball over on downs. But Brown was penalized for unnecessary roughness. Tennessee was also penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. Darnold scored on the next play to make it 13-3.

Fans were not happy with the call as they felt like it was a clean hit.
Minnesota had a 16-3 lead at the half. The Titans were called for nine penalties for 71 yards. The Vikings only had one penalty called on them.
Addison had already scored earlier in the game. In the first quarter, the two connected on a 47-yard touchdown. The wide receiver jetted past the Titans’ defenders for the score.
