Wind sucked from Justin Jefferson in lopsided loss
Key Points:
- Justin Jefferson struggled in the Vikings' Week 9 loss to the Bills, catching 3 of 11 targets for 58 yards amid poor quarterback play from Carson Wentz, who completed only 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions.
- The Vikings' offense was ineffective overall, gaining just 178 total yards with limited time of possession, and the team is reportedly exploring quarterback options before the Tuesday trade deadline, with Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones mentioned as potential targets.
- Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson also had modest performances, with Addison catching 2 of 3 targets for 28 yards and Hockenson 4 of 7 for 33 yards, all hampered by the weak quarterback situation.
- On the defensive side, the Bengals acquired EDGE Arnold Ebiketie from the Eagles to bolster their pass rush, while the Dolphins lost DT Zach Sieler for the season due to a bicep injury, impacting their struggling defense.
- The Packers may see Kaleb Johnson emerge as their lead rusher following Josh Jacobs' injury, as Johnson impressed with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in Week 9.
