Frustrated Justin Jefferson Had Shocking Response When Asked If Vikings Should Trade For QB [VIDEO]

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Justin Jefferson showed visible frustration on the sideline amid the Vikings falling 23-6 to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.

He was spotted sitting alone in deep frustration on the bench as the offense sputtered throughout the prime-time matchup. His facial expressions toward Carson Wentz showed just how much he did not believe in him.

Despite seeing a game-high 11 targets, Jefferson finished with just 3 catches for 58 yards. Consequently, he has now gone through a stretch without a 100-yard receiving game.

With Carson Wentz struggling and Kyler Murray sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Vikings’ passing attack has managed no more than 16 points in its last three games.

A change is needed.

Justin Jefferson’s Response When Asked About Trading for a QB

Asked whether Minnesota should trade for a quarterback, the star receiver pointed upstairs.

When asked after the game about whether Minnesota should trade for a quarterback before the deadline, Jefferson deferred to general manager Nolan Teasley and head coach Kevin O’Connell.

He replied, “Not sure. That’s on Nolan, that’s on KO. My job is to continue getting open, be the leader of this team. Come next week, hopefully things change.”

When he said, “Come next week, hopefully things change,” it appears he hopes the team has made a significant change before their next matchup. The team has until 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday to act, and the best quarterback options all sit on other rosters.

The team has a top-notch defense that has been tasked with winning these games so far. At some point, the Vikings need to put a good quarterback out there who can get the football down the field every Sunday. Otherwise, this will be a wasted season in Justin Jefferson’s prime.
