Most didn\u2019t debate the efficacy of the penalty. <\/p>\n ” data-medium-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24868615.jpg” data-large-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1180,height=787,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24868615.jpg” src=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24868615.jpg” alt> But Stevenson claimed this week that part of the problem on the play was Addison\u2019s weight. He claimed Addison weighs 135 pounds. <\/p>\n In reality, Addison weighs 175.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard doing this job, playing DB in the league. It\u2019s an offensive league, so you kinda don\u2019t get the calls. Ball was in the air, I played it back. I thought once the ball was in the air, I look back, it becomes a 50\/50, a little shove is allowed. But it\u2019s not my fault he\u2019s 135 pounds, and he fell,\u201d Stevenson said. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s the play in question:<\/p>\n Stevenson has a rather splotchy recent history with, well, everything<\/em>. In October, he mocked fans right before a Hail Mary pass attempt by Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. He was so busy taunting that the Hail Mary broke in Washington\u2019s favor and lost the game for Chicago. <\/p>\n ” data-medium-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886653.jpg” data-large-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1180,height=787,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886653.jpg” src=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24886653.jpg” alt> The Bears haven\u2019t won a game since. <\/p>\n Then, on Monday, in addition to the pass interference infraction, Stevenson tormented Vikings fans with a Skol chant while his team was losing. The Bears never recovered and wound up losing 30-12. <\/p>\n He\u2019s not high on Bears fans\u2019 list of prestige at the moment. <\/p>\n ” data-medium-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/USATSI_23967233-1.jpg” data-large-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1180,height=787,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/USATSI_23967233-1.jpg” src=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/USATSI_23967233-1.jpg” alt> Stevenson also ranks 86th of 115 qualifying cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus<\/em><\/a>, this season, with a middling 57.6 grade. He often talks the talk of a quasi-shutdown corner but then manufactures blunders that don\u2019t seem humanly possible each week. <\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that few bought his 135-pound insult aimed at Addison \u2014 because Addison doesn\u2019t weigh 135 pounds. That might\u2019ve been Addison\u2019s middle school weight. <\/p>\n ” data-medium-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24730301.jpg” data-large-file=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1180,height=787,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24730301.jpg” src=”https:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=444,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/USATSI_24730301.jpg” alt=”bears”> The Vikings next play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and are favored to win by three or four points. Stevenson and the Bears have been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention after losing eight straight. His Bears take on the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field and are forecasted to lose by a touchdown. <\/p>\n Stevenson will probably match up with Lions pass-catcher Jameson Williams, who weighs 180 pounds, though Stevenson may claim it\u2019s closer to 140 after the game.<\/p>\n Dustin Baker<\/em><\/a> is a political scientist who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2007.
