The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers in the first half of their game on Sunday. Yes, in the second half they almost gave it away. Justin Jefferson still managed to find the end zone in spite of that. He saw to it that Wisconsin as a whole felt it, too.
In Green Bay, Justin Jefferson’s Griddy hit was different.
On Sunday, Sam Darnold received a lift when Jordan Addison was inserted back into the starting lineup. With an ankle injury that sidelined him for two weeks, the gifted second-year wide out made an immediate impression. Justin Jefferson also did so. The all-star wide receiver made it personal after taking advantage of Jaire Alexander’s absence.
Jefferson is undoubtedly right when he says that Alexander is more invested in the game than he is. Ultimately, the wide receiver for the Vikings is the finest in the NFL. Alexander views every chance as his chance to make a splash.
When Jefferson hit the end zone on Sunday, he made sure to enjoy the points just a little bit longer. This season, the Vikings have not yet concluded their matchup with the Packers, so Alexander will have an opportunity to live up to his words. Thus far, there has been a great deal of discussion but no money exchanged.
The two teams might be in very different places when they play each other at U.S. Bank Stadium later this season. It appears that Kevin O’Connell will guide the Minnesota Vikings to the postseason for the time being.
