During the game between the Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans, fans were outraged when Titans safety Mike Brown was penalized for a nasty hit on wide receiver Jordan Addison.

Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw a pass to Addison in the end zone. There were about three defenders surrounding Addison on this play. Brown tilted his shoulder and appeared to hit Addison in the chest, interrupting the play.

The hit loosened the ball and it looked like Minnesota turned it over on downs. But Brown was penalized for unnecessary roughness. Tennessee was also fined 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 led 16-3 at the half. The Titans were called for nine penalties for 71 yards. Only one penalty was called for the Vikings.

Addison had already scored early in the game. The two connected for a 47-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The wide receiver shrugged off a Titans defender and scored.
