Packers defense must be (a lot) better against Justin Jefferson in rematch

The last time the Green Bay Packers faced the Minnesota Vikings, the defense had one of its worst performances of the season. Mainly because Joe Barry’s group had no answer for Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Jefferson had 100 yards on the day before the first quarter was over. By the end of the game, he had snagged eight receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns. It was his 11th career game with at least 100 yards, tying him with Randy Moss and Juju Smith-Schuster for the second-most in a player’s first two seasons since the 1970 merger.
