Defenses will double Jefferson on key downs, creating opportunities for Murray

Jefferson will be subject to defensive doubling strategies on key downs and third-down situations as opposing defenses attempt to neutralize the Vikings' passing attack. Coach Kevin O'Connell acknowledged that "there's going to be some weighty downs, some third downs where people are going to decide, 'hey, we're going to try to double team Jefferson and Addison, and we're going to try to make this a hard down for Kyler." However, this doubling strategy creates opportunity for Murray's dual-threat ability to exploit the coverage.
