The\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0are moving the ball better with\u00a0Nick Mullens\u00a0under center, but they still have a serious QB problem \u2014 a potentially fatal flaw not lost on\u00a0Justin Jefferson.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The All-Pro wide receiver spoke to media members following his team\u2019s 30-24 home loss to the\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0on Sunday, December 24, during which Mullens threw for 411 yards but also tossed\u00a0four backbreaking interceptions, including one on Minnesota\u2019s final offensive drive.<\/p>\n
Jefferson used the Vikings\u2019 narrow defeat as an opportunity to compliment quarterback\u00a0Kirk Cousins and highlight why his absence is so profoundly felt in the offensive huddle, but in doing so the wideout also shed light on Mullens\u2019 obvious deficiencies.<\/p>\n
\nJustin Jefferson: "I really think it goes to show the rest of the world the type of player Kirk is. At the end of the day, this is a tough league. … It's tough not having 8 out there, the captain that he is, the leader that he is. He's a great player."<\/p>\n
