Why Vikings can cover
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson leads the league in receiving yards with 783 and has surpassed 80 receiving yards in each of his last seven games. With 48 receptions and five touchdowns on the season, Minnesota’s top wide receiver has been matchup-proof. This week they face a Jacksonville secondary that is allowing 264.3 yards per game, second most in the NFL heading into Week 10.
Quarterback Sam Darnold hasn’t been as sharp lately as he was earlier this season, but the overall numbers are still impressive. The veteran threw for 1,900 yards and 17 touchdowns against seven interceptions. With tight end TJ Hockenson back from a knee injury he suffered late in 2023, Minnesota’s offense is at full strength and it should be difficult for the Jaguars’ maligned defense to slow down.
Why the Jaguars can cover
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence (questionable, shoulder) is reportedly unlikely to play Sunday and will be replaced by backup Mac Jones, the Patriots’ former quarterback. Jones has only thrown nine passes in 2024, but will need to return to his form as a rookie, when he threw for 3,801 yards and 22 touchdowns for New England in 2021. Against a defense that attacks more in the NFL, the reliance on the defense will be paramount. of Jacksonville to open up against man coverage.
Rookie first-round pick, wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., should feature heavily in the Jaguars’ game plan this week. He leads the team with 35 receptions for 595 yards and five touchdowns, emerging as a deep play threat. Tight end Evan Engram should also be a focal point of the passing game, as he’s averaging 54 yards per game since returning from injury in mid-October.
