The Packers denied their best cornerback the chance to defend Justin Jefferson — and paid the price

Justin Jefferson had a monster game for the Minnesota Vikings against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

  • Jefferson finished the game with nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander had asked to shadow Jefferson heading into the game, but was overruled by his coaches.

  • Justin Jefferson had himself a day against the Green Bay Packers, going off for nine catches, 184 yards, and two touchdowns.

    Jefferson's monster game helped lift the Vikings to a dominant 23-7 win over a listless Packers team.

    His first score of the day was easy.
