Turnovers were deadly for the Vikings in Philadelphia on Thursday night and one by wide receiver Justin Jefferson was particularly painful.
Jefferson lost control of the ball while reaching the end zone at the end of a 30-yard reception in the second quarter and the Eagles took control at their own 20-yard line after the ball went out of bounds in the end zone. The Eagles were up 10-7 at the time and would extend that lead to 27-7 before the Vikings found a way to make it a close game in the fourth quarter.
Jefferson was part of that effort and finished the night with 11 catches for 159 yards, but the fumble outweighed any positives when he spoke to reporters after the game.
“I’m putting It’s a lot about me“Jefferson said, via Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “Turning the ball over in the end zone like that when we need points and we’re driving and having that momentum. “I was telling my teammates that it’s up to me and it won’t happen again.”
The Vikings had four turnovers in total and have six in two games, so it’s not like Jefferson is solely to blame in Minnesota and it will be a group effort to clean things up enough to find a way to get a win in the next weeks.
