Daily Norseman on Justin Jefferson

Lions doubled Jefferson all game; his 90+ PFF grade vs. man coverage made him the primary coverage target.

The Lions double-covered Jefferson the entire game as part of their defensive game plan. Jefferson has been elite against man coverage this season, grading over 90 according to PFF, making him a primary coverage target. The Lions' strategy of doubling Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson in key situations was predicated on the belief that the Murray-to-Addison (or Jennings) connection would not beat them, given Addison's poor performance (58.6 PFF grade, 4 rec on 11 targets for 34 yards).
