The Minnesota Vikings began the 2026 NFL season with an undefeated 6-0 record. During this period, wide receiver Justin Jefferson addressed his modest statistical production, stating he prioritizes team success over individual accolades. Head coach Kevin O’Connell noted challenges in activating Jefferson due to opposing defenses crowding the line of scrimmage.

Following the defeat, Jefferson declined to provide comments to the media through a team spokesperson.
