Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson admitted it was an embarrassment after being crushed 40-3 at home by the Dallas Cowboys and is hoping the team can forget the defeat and get revenge when they face the New England Patriots on Thursday, NFL Network reported Tuesday. ( 123over )
The Vikings’ offensive line failed to protect Kirk Cousins as expected, allowing the 34-year-old quarterback to have a career-high seven sacks, while star wide receiver Jefferson had just three catches for 33 yards, which he admitted was a disaster for Minnesota, which lost at home by 37 points.
“I mean, it sucks that we lost like that,” Jefferson said. “If we lost by 3, 7, 10 points, it wouldn’t be so bad. People lose games. We didn’t expect to be undefeated the rest of the season. What happened was, that’s the NFL. There’s good teams we’re playing. But it’s just the fact that we lost by 37 points at home. It’s embarrassing to be in that situation. And we didn’t play well in every phase. That’s what really killed us and made us perform the way we are now.”
