""Best receiver in football in a one-on-one with a run call you feel good about on fourth-and-1," O'Connell said. "I would not change that call.""

The Vikings faced third-and-1 from midfield early in the third quarter with a 10-9 lead against the Baltimore Ravens. Coach Kevin O'Connell called a deep pass to All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson to create single coverage and leave the option to run on fourth down. Jefferson tripped while in contact with Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who intercepted quarterback J.J. McCarthy's throw. The interception shifted momentum and contributed to Minnesota's 27-19 loss. O'Connell weighed running backs Aaron Jones Sr. or Jordan Mason but said he would not change the decision to target Jefferson.
