"Justin Jefferson had nothing new to say. Speaking to reporters in the visitors' locker room at Lambeau Field, about an hour after the Minnesota Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Jefferson's face betrayed no expression. "It's frustrating to be up here and say the same things every single week," Jefferson said, "and expecting something to change the following week. And we're still in the same spot.""
"Jefferson and the Vikings have a big problem. Their quarterback isn't playing at an NFL level and, if anything, his performance has regressed since the start of a season dedicated to his development. With a 24.9 QBR after six starts, McCarthy is off to one of the worst career starts of any NFL quarterback in the past decade. The Vikings aren't 4-7 and almost certain to miss the playoffs solely because of J.J. McCarthy. But it is plainly obvious that he is the top reason."
Justin Jefferson expressed repeated frustration after the Vikings' 23-6 loss at Lambeau Field, noting the team keeps repeating the same statements with no change. The Vikings' quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, has a 24.9 QBR through six starts and has regressed despite a season aimed at his development. That poor performance is the primary reason the team sits at 4-7 and faces near-certain playoff elimination. Coach Kevin O'Connell pointed to surrounding miscues — a center stepping on McCarthy's foot, a missed block by Jordan Addison and a muffed punt by Myles Price — but McCarthy remains the focal problem.
