Minnesota found itself in a hole against the Lions. After going up 10-0, the Vikings went into halftime down 21-10. It’s a good thing the Vikings have a player like Justin Jefferson to help

Jefferson displayed his athleticism against the Detroit Lions on Sunday when he faked a flea flicker and ran for two yards. Despite the small gain, his dancing and dodging in the backfield "had everyone on the edge of their seats" as NFL social media put it.

Jefferson has posted historically good numbers against the Lions, but it hasn't always resulted in Vikings victories.

The question made Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson legitimately laugh out loud. Most likely because he knew the answer was so obvious. Does he like playing against the Detroit Lions? “I don’t know what it is about them,” Jefferson said with a smirk. “I’ve been making a couple of plays here and there.”

“He’s going to get the ball,” Lions safety Brian Branch said about Jefferson. “Great route runner, got some speed to him, and he’s a dog, so shoot, dog meet a dog.” At 5-0, Minnesota owns one of the NFL’s two unbeaten records. Detroit has a 4-1 mark.
