That included four catches for 44 yards for Jefferson. Jefferson did not have a catch in the second half. He was targeted once in the second half. The Colts came into the game with star cornerback Sauce Gardner on the sideline and, by the end of the game, had none of their top three corners on the field due to injuries.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Jefferson had just one second-half target vs. Colts despite their top three corners out.

In Week 7 against Indianapolis, Jefferson recorded only four catches for 44 yards and was targeted just once in the second half, despite the Colts playing without their top three cornerbacks due to injuries. This represents a significant underutilization of the Vikings' star receiver and mirrors offensive inefficiency issues from the prior season.
