Justin Jefferson talked with reporters for about eight minutes Thursday, after not speaking after the game on Sunday. He said his frustration was because “I never want to lose, no matter how the game goes for for myself. I felt like we had plenty of opportunities to win that game, and we only hurt ourselves in multiple ways. So it's just wanting better from the whole entire offense, especially.” Jefferson said the Vikings have confidence in Kyler Murray, and that he’s seen growth from the QB this year. “I feel like the plays that are there are plays that he's capable of making,” he said. “Those are plays that we've seen him make multiple times throughout the season, throughout practice, and in training camp as well. We have confidence in him to go out there and be that guy that we need him and want him to be. It’s just executing our plays and coming ready to play.” Jefferson is in Year 7, still looking for his first playoff win since his time at LSU. “Losing hits deeper than anything else. And I think I love this game a lot more than a lot of other people in this league. I don't care if we're 15-1. You know, I don't want to lose a single game, and that's just my mindset. And that's always how I have been ever since I was a little kid. as I got older, the the tears kind of shied away, and you know, more more of a grown man. But I hate to lose.”
