Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson declined to speak with reporters following the team's loss on Sunday, according to a report from ProFootball Talk. The All-Pro pass catcher appeared frustrated after the defeat and chose not to participate in the customary post-game media availability.
The Vikings' loss dropped them to 5-4 on the season. Jefferson, who leads the team in receiving yards, has been a focal point of Minnesota's offense through nine weeks. His decision to skip the press conference comes amid growing scrutiny of the team's inconsistent performance.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell addressed the media after the game but did not comment specifically on Jefferson's absence from the interview session. The Vikings prepare for a divisional matchup next week as they look to rebound in the NFC North standings.
