NY Post
The Minnesota Vikings are trying to take the positive momentum gained from their shutout victory last weekend over the Washington Commanders and parlay it into a victory in Arlington on Sunday Night Football a couple of days from now against the Dallas Cowboys.
Of course, there isn't a week of the 2025 season that passes in Vikings land without some sort of drama or distraction to divert our attention. Week 15 is no different, especially as redshirt rookie JJ McCarthy gets set to make the seventh start of his NFL career.

Minnesota Vikings offense struggling to find its way on the field
At 5-8 on the season, Minnesota's record tells the short story of 2025 pretty well. It's been a struggle, especially on offense, as the team tries to expedite JJ McCarthy's development on the fly. They've shuffled through three different quarterbacks, in the process, none of which are competent NFL starters at this point in their careers.

Not only has the Vikings' QB incompetence on the field cost them wins in the regular season, and thus any hope they once had at being a 2025 playoff team, but it has individually affected the statistics of every player on on offense, most noticeably the receivers.

With 810 yards and 2 touchdowns on 64 receptions, through 13 games , Justin Jefferson is on pace for career-lows in just about every statistical category. He also hates losing, which is another reason why we've seen the superstar wideout pouting and throwing mild temper tantrums on the sideline all year.

Meanwhile, Adam Thielen — who the Vikings traded multiple middle round pick swaps for back in September — is no longer on the roster, because he wasn't being utilized… like at all ( 8 REC, 69 YDS, 0 TD ).
Don't forget about our highly compensated tight end, TJ Hockenson — who's been way more of a blocking threat in 2025, than he is a danger to catch the football (46 REC, 370 TDS, 3 TD ). And Jordan Addison, he has been underwhelming (37 REC, 510 YDS, 3 TD), since returning from his three-game suspension to start the season too.
Jordan Addison's DUI arrest still haunting MN Vikings
Speaking of Jordan Addison's suspension, the original DUI arrest from July 12, 2024 it stemmed from found its way back into the news Thursday night, when the New York Post got ahold of the 23-year-old 's body-cam arrest footage from that night.

It's important to mention before you watch this video that, not only was Addison's DWI charge eventually pleaded down to a "Wet Reckless" , but the Minnesota Vikings WR2 has already had his probation lifted early .
According to a statement from his attorney ( via the NY Post ), Jordan Addison is also in the process of getting his July 12, 2024 arrest completely expunged from his criminal record.
"Jordan fulfilled every one of his obligations on time and without exception, often going above and beyond what was required of him. Now that his probation has been formally terminated, we will be filing an expungement so he can fully move forward with his life."

Jordan Addison was not fully coherent before arrest
You can see in the video that Jordan Addison awakes at the wheel of his vehicle by a cop tapping on his door, while his car is stopped in the left-hand turn lane near LAX airport. You can hear the cop tell him he has been stopped there for 15 minutes, though that time is not official.

After asking Jordan a few questions — many of which the Vikings wideout doesn't comprehend in the moment — then looking at his eyes, the cop has Addison step out of the car, before the two talk more.

A few times throughout the exchange, Addison is asked if he has been drinking, to which Jordan responds with the same answer — no. Obviously, the cop isn't convinced so he administers a breathalyzer toward the end of the video.
We do not know what the results said, but the numbers were high enough for Jordan Addison to immediately be placed under arrest. The cash he had in his pocket, according to The Post, was $150 in $1 bills — not suspicious at all.
