Next challenge for Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Saints star cornerback Marshon Lattimore

The Vikings not only need to fight jetlag in jumpstarting the connection between Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson on Sunday in London, but also four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

Coming off a career-low 14 receiving yards on three catches against the Lions, Jefferson said he's expecting similar challenges against the Saints defense as he saw against Detroit. What New Orleans brings as a new challenge is Lattimore, a stingy pass defender whose 75 breakups since he entered the league in 2017 trail only the Eagles' Darius Slay, who helped limit Jefferson to 48 receiving yards in Week 2.
