The Vikings offense faces split-safety looks on 41.3% of their snaps which is designed to limit Jefferson. Split-safety coverage inherently forces a defense to play with a "light box" (six or fewer defenders close to the line of scrimmage).

Jefferson faces split-safety coverage on 41.3% of snaps to limit his impact.

Jefferson faces split-safety coverage on 41.3% of Vikings snaps, a defensive scheme designed to limit his impact; split-safety looks force defenses to play with light boxes (six or fewer defenders near the line), which would be riskier against a back like Jonathan Taylor, suggesting the Vikings may need to add a power running back to complement Jefferson's presence.
