COLUMN: Justin Jefferson crumbled to his knees in exhaustion, removing his helmet before slowly walking toward the sideline. What more could he have done? Nothing. Not with who the Vikings currently have available under center. https://t.co/IkjrJphN3m
Massive questions loom for the Vikings. None is more important than the future at QB. Tonight proved once again that as Minnesota considers these questions, it must pay close attention to the man who kept his team in the game: Justin Jefferson. https://t.co/aswzg3qkfl

I asked Justin Jefferson about his perspective on the Vikings' QB instability: "It goes to show the rest of the world the type of player Kirk is..." https://t.co/XrNQYLV5mW
Justin Jefferson: "I really think it goes to show the rest of the world the type of player Kirk is. At the end of the day, this is a tough league. ... It's tough not having 8 out there, the captain that he is, the leader that he is. He's a great player."
Lions safety Kerby Joseph just gave himself a brain injury with that hit on Justin Jefferson. Helmet to helmet hit. Joseph crumbled to the turf after initially getting right back up.
