Nowadays, it’s normal for NFL players to grow a bond with popular figures outside of the league, just like how Jordan Addison FaceTimed Elon Musk recently. This comes after the Minnesota Vikings have built a good record at this point of the season.
Minnesota currently sits at 10th in the NFL power rankings, reflecting a season marked by both triumphs and challenges. With a record of 7-2, the team has shown resilience, notably achieving a historic win against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite a lackluster offensive performance. This victory made them the first team since 2010 to win a game without scoring a touchdown while committing multiple turnovers, underscoring their ability to grind out results even in tough circumstances.
Quarterback Sam Darnold has been a focal point of discussions among fans and analysts alike. While his leadership has contributed to the team’s success, concerns about his interception rate have emerged, raising questions about his consistency as they head deeper into the season. The team’s offense clearly needs to improve if they aspire to make a significant playoff run.Defensively, Minnesota has showcased a strong unit that frequently steps up during critical moments. The ability to hold opponents in check has been pivotal in several close games, allowing the team to maintain its winning record. As they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans, the defense will need to continue its solid play to support the offense.
The coaching staff, led by Kevin O’Connell, has also played a crucial role in the team’s performance. O’Connell’s strategic decisions, particularly in high-pressure situations, have often made the difference in tight contests, showcasing his growth as a head coach.
Minnesota Vikings’ Jordan Addison Casually Calls Elon Musk
Along with an impressive record this season, Minnesota released a video sharing the popular figures their players personally know. In the NFL star’s case, it’s Musk, as seen in a video shared by Dov Kleiman on his official X account.

For his part, Musk has drawn criticism from NFL fans for declaring support for two favorite teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, over a month ago. Many believe that having dual allegiances undermines the spirit of fandom, which traditionally emphasizes loyalty to a single team.
Fans took to social media to voice their discontent, arguing that Musk’s status as a high-profile figure should come with a clearer commitment to one side. Even if that’s the case, he remains one of the most popular figures around, making the Minnesota star’s act of casually calling him more impressive.
