The Vikings demolished the Jets on Sunday, but it appears that there are tensions within the team. If you did not notice towards the end of the game, WR Justin Jefferson expressed dissatisfaction with his own team. The man was quite irritated, and he slammed his helmet on the ground in a rage. It surprised the fans, which is why the question remains: why did he do that?
The game concluded with a score of 23-17, indicating that it was a challenging one. With only one touchdown, the Jets could have stolen the victory, but the Vikings’ defense prevented that from happening. When questioned about his frustrations after the game, Justin Jefferson brought this thing up. The wide receiver argued that winning the game was not at all because of the offense. The defense gave them the dub in the game, and the offense must work harder to perform well in the upcoming games.
The WR explained, “We definitely gotta give thanks to our defense today for giving us this DUB, but offensively, it wasn’t good enough.”

The most unexpected aspect of these statements is that fans had no idea the Vikings were dissatisfied with their offense. Because, in reality, the team’s offense has put on a great show this season. The games against the Texans (34-7) and Packers (31-29) demonstrate that the team is currently pretty balanced. Maybe the WR Justin Jefferson have seen a new piece of the jigsaw that will make the offense even more powerful in the future.
Meanwhile, the player will probably be relaxing and planning his day out in London for tomorrow. As if you do not know, he has previously shown his enthusiasm for the city. Let’s take a look of that too.
