From the article

Last Christmas, the Vikings forced Gibbs into a career-high 15 pass-protection snaps—over 35% of his total—resulting in seven pressures and a sack. With Van Ginkel, Blake Cashman, Ivan Pace Jr., and Dallas Turner matching up on him, the plan is straightforward: make Gibbs block, or take him off the field entirely.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Vikings blitz 70–85% to force Gibbs into pass protection, neutralizing his receiving role.

Vikings plan to exploit Gibbs in pass protection by blitzing 70–85% of snaps, forcing him to block or leave the field. Last Christmas, Vikings forced Gibbs into a career-high 15 pass-protection snaps (over 35% of his total), resulting in seven pressures and a sack. By having him pass block, he's not out in their patterns either, making him ineffective in the Vikings' defensive scheme.
