EAGAN, Minn. — The last time Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson and Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander were on the field together, Alexander mocked Jefferson's signature touchdown dance.
Jefferson has a different plan for Sunday's matchup between the teams at Lambeau Field. «He likes to do that stuff to get inside someone's head,» Jefferson said Thursday. «I'm not really tripping on that.
I'm going to just get my Griddy in his end zone. So, I'm not tripping on it at all. I'm excited for the matchup.» The annual matchups between the two heated up in Week 1 of the 2022 season, when Jefferson caught nine passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-7 Vikings victory.
Alexander called that performance a «fluke» and then mocked Jefferson's Griddy when the Packers held him to one catch for 15 yards in their 41-17 victory in Week 17 of that season.
