"We're coming together," said receiver Justin Jefferson, whose second touchdown reception Sunday accounted for the final margin in a 27-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. "Every single game, we're finding different ways to overcome adversity. These close games are what make championship teams." Jefferson believes their resilience showcases their potential for greatness as they face challenges head-on. He emphasizes that the ability to win tightly contested games signifies the makings of a championship team, reflecting a key aspect of their growth and development.
"Oh for sure," he said. "Not just what we're doing out there on the field, but the way we carry ourselves, the way we treat each other. ... In 2019 when I won a championship at LSU, it was the same type of vibe. The team is just together, fighting for one another every single game. It definitely feels the same." Jefferson draws a parallel to his LSU championship season, expressing confidence that the team's chemistry and unity are strong indicators of their potential to achieve similar success.
Thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles' loss Sunday to the Washington Commanders, the Vikings will clinch the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed by going 2-0 over their final two games -- or, in their parlance, 1-0 followed by another 1-0. Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasizes a focused approach, fostering a mindset where each game is treated as a crucial step towards the ultimate goal. This preparation under his leadership highlights their strategy as they push for playoff success.
