EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Justin Jefferson has proven to be one of the most difficult receivers in the NFL to cover.

Jefferson had 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the opening victory over Green Bay and was frequently in motion before the snap. The Vikings will try to keep that up on Monday at Philadelphia. The Eagles passed on Jefferson in the first round of the 2020 draft by picking Jalen Reagor one spot before him.
