STACKED’s take

Jefferson is lining up in a wide alignment at the highest rate of his career at 84.7% and being put in presnap motion at the lowest rate in his career at 8.4% overall and just 2.2% at the snap. This predictability helps the Lions defense to more readily run help coverage toward Jefferson without complication. The Lions' defensive approach will be a collective effort involving unique double teams, bracket coverages, and deep shell safety help to prevent Jefferson from beating them one-on-one on critical down-and-distances. The Vikings are tied with the Chicago Bears as the only teams in the NFL to have not been the beneficiary of a defensive pass interference this season, making discipline on critical downs important.
