Justin Jefferson continues to be one of the best receivers in football. He hasn\u2019t had a chance to reconfirm it lately.<\/p>\n
Including last year\u2019s playoff loss, Jefferson has gone six games without a 100-yard receiving performance. It\u2019s the longest such stretch of his six-year career.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll try to keep it from extending to seven, when the Vikings face the Steelers in Dublin.<\/p>\n
Jefferson\u2019s last 100-yard performance came on December 22 in Seattle, when he caught 10 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner.<\/p>\n
Since then, he has had 92 yards, 54 yards, 58 yards, 75 yards, 81 yards, and 44 yards.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, receiver Jordan Addison will make his 2025 debut. That could result in less attention being paid to Jefferson, and more opportunities for him.<\/p>\n
Far more importantly, the Vikings will try to run their record to 3-1 against the 2-1 Steelers. With quarterback Carson Wentz getting his second start in place of the injured J.J. McCarthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Justin Jefferson continues to be one of the best receivers in football.
