Justin Jefferson’s Cataclysmic Injury Needs to Be a Wake-Up Call for the 2023 Vikings

For five weeks, the reigning NFC North Champions have played with their food. They’ve messed around and found out the hard way, and now, they find themselves in a 1-4 reality while dealing with the fact that Justin Jefferson will miss at least the next four games on IR.

For a team that was beautifully buttoned up and strikingly detailed just a season ago, it’s been shocking to see the absolute antithesis of all they established upon the advent of the Kevin O’Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah regime.

In 2022, the Vikings had 7 turnovers in the 1st Quarter.
