Frustrated Justin Jefferson didn't speak to reporters after Sunday's loss
The Vikings star had five catches for 33 yards and declined to address reporters after the loss, while coach Kevin O'Connell said the team must get him the ball.
On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings fell 19-15 to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, and star receiver Justin Jefferson declined to speak with reporters following the defeat.
Throughout the contest, Jefferson secured five catches for 33 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown from quarterback Kyler Murray, averaging just 6.6 yards per reception.
Quarterback Kyler Murray acknowledged Jefferson's visible frustration, stating, "We gotta find ways to get him the ball." Murray noted opposing defenses frequently double-team the receiver.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell also addressed the offensive struggles, telling reporters, "We've got to find a way to get him the ball." He emphasized creating momentum during critical sequences.
Despite the setback, the Vikings remain at 6-1 on the season. The team faces pressure to improve results from created opportunities as they move beyond the Detroit loss.
