The Minnesota Vikings are off to a rough start offensively in the Week 11 game against the Chicago Bears and that has impacted wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Jefferson remains one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but he hasn't exactly had an ideal list of quarterbacks throwing him the football during his career.

We're seeing another example of that early on in the Week 11 game against the Chicago Bears, as Jefferson is off to a slow start.

Here's more information on what's going on.

Is Justin Jefferson playing today?

Yes, Jefferson is active and he has even received a target over two drives, but J.J. McCarthy's pass was way over his head.

McCarthy has completed just 3-of-6 passes over two drives and has only connected with T.J. Hockenson and Adam Thielen.

We'll see if he can get going on drive No. 2.
