Will Lions' physical style slow Vikings' Justin Jefferson?

EAGAN, Minn. -- When we last saw Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson, he was walking off the field at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a member of one of the NFL's final two unbeaten teams. He wasn't as happy about it as you might think.

Jefferson had caught six passes for 92 yards in the 23-17 Week 5 victory over the New York Jets, but it required 14 targets to do it -- the eight incomplete passes tied for the most thrown his way in a game during his career.

In a dour postgame interview with NFL Network, Jefferson thanked the Vikings' defense for securing the victory.
