Justin Jefferson, arguably the top wide receiver in football, is the key to stopping the Vikings offense.

It’s easier said than accomplished. Jefferson is the fifth most receiving yards in the league (649) and the four-time Pro Bowler, who has done it every year, is on track to surpass 1,000 for the first time.

How do the Ravens intend to deal with him?

Zach Orr, defensive coordinator, said: “They have seen every kind of coverage that can be run against him. We just need to change it up, and not allow him to get a feel for what we are doing. Not letting him ruin the game, and making sure we know where he is at all times.”

“It also goes hand-in-hand with the rush, so we need to get some press on this quarterback so he won’t be able to sit there all day and find Justin Jefferson.”

John Harbaugh, the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, said Jefferson was a “super talent” with “all skills.” He’s not Minnesota’s only talented receiver.

T.J. Hockenson, a tight end, has 233 yards. Jordan Addison is a fellow wide receiver with 357 yards. All three players have two touchdowns.

Harbaugh explained that “once you start to adjust the coverage too much for him, they have others.” They have a lot of top-notch running backs and receivers that they can choose from. You can’t do too much. “I think you have to trust that your defense will play defense the right way.”

Nate Wiggins, Ravens’ top cornerback, has shadowed the top receiver of an opponent at various times in this season. Wiggins asked for this assignment specifically against Davante Adam of the Los Angeles Rams, for instance.

Wiggins says he is ready to compete and has his head down for his matchup against Jefferson.

Wiggins stated, “I feel my best when I am playing in situations like these.” “It is best against best.” “I feel like he is one of best players in the world and I also feel that I am one of best players in the world.”
