It has been a tough season for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
While most receivers would love to have 795 receiving yards through 11 games, that total has Jefferson on pace to have a down season. Talk about setting the bar high.
That said, that is hardly his fault, as the Vikings have gotten poor quarterback play all season long, especially from J.J. McCarthy.
Jefferson is off to a slow start in the Week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Justin Jefferson playing today?
UPDATE: A little under six minutes left in the third quarter and still no catches on three targets for Jefferson.
Yes, Jefferson is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted through two drives.
Max Brosmer has struggled with accuracy thus far, and it also doesn't help that he and Jefferson don't have much chemistry.
But the Seahawks also sport an elite defense and it's clear Seattle's unit is focusing extra attention on the superstar wideout.
Hopefully things change soon for Jefferson, but we can't say they definitely will with the wild card Brosmer is under center.
