The Week 11 game between the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings is already making headlines for a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty.
As Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed a pass on the right side of the field to Jordan Addison, the wide receiver caught it and gained 16 yards on the play. Responding quickly, the Titans' defense, including linebacker Kenneth Murray, tackled Addison to prevent him from gaining more yards.
This led to the referees penalizing the Titans.
