Jordan Addison hauls in long TD for second consecutive week on Thursday Night Football

Catching long touchdown passes might just become Jordan Addison’s thing. The former USC star did it for a second-consecutive week, hauling in a huge reception in the Vikings‘ Thursday Night Football game against the Eagles.

With Minnesota trailing 27-7 in the third quarter, Kirk Cousins launched a deep ball down the middle of the field in Addison’s direction. The rookie out of USC beat his defender and cruised into the endzone.

That was a 62-yard touchdown catch for Addison. It’s quite a bit longer than his touchdown reception against the Buccaneers last weekend, which was from 39 yards out.

It’s still early in the NFL regular season, but Addison seems to be living up to that first-round draft status. He’s already morphing into a reliable target for Cousins in the passing attack.
