MINNEAPOLIS — Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell’s messages before the season, which focused on the team’s play style, all came with a consistent meaning: If the 2024 Vikings were to be successful, they’d do it with a style similar to the one the San Francisco 49ers had used to make four NFC Championship Game trips in five years.

Justin Jefferson catches long touchdowns for the Vikings, but he didn't give a long answer regarding his injury update for the Texans game.

With the Minnesota Vikings up 20-7 on the defending NFC champs, Jefferson took a shot to the legs from a teammate and 49ers All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner on a run play and immediately went down. After trainers took a look Jefferson had to be helped to the sideline, where he entered the blue medical tent.
