Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson caught 7-of-9 targets for 99 yards in the Vikings’ Week 13 win against the Cardinals.

Jefferson was uninvolved in the first half, with Sam Darnold looking early and often to Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor instead of his all-world wideout. Darnold eventually force fed Jefferson in the second half, connecting for a 25-yarder and a 30-yard gain. Sunday was Jefferson’s sixth straight outing without a touchdown. His modest production — compared to other seasons in his prolific career — can be largely attributed to the Vikings operating a conservative offense, made possible by the team’s elite defense. Jefferson gets a date with an exploitable Atlanta secondary in Week 14.
