The Minnesota Vikings escaped with a 21-17 win over the Cleveland Browns in London on Sunday, as Carson Wentz finished the game-winning drive with three straight completions to wide receiver Jordan Addison, including the touchdown to win it.
But early in the game, unbeknownst to the television broadcast, Addison was not on the field. ESPN's Kevin Seifert reported it was a "coach's decision" to bench Addison for the first quarter, and he took the field in the second quarter.
Addison was clearly being disciplined; the question was for what. The Vikings were staying and practicing at what amounted to a remote compound 90 minutes outside of London, where any sort of trouble would presumably be hard to find.
