This grass has ALWAYS been slippery. Lambeau traditionally had the best turf in the league, but they kept having to resod for the playoffs under Ron Wolf.
Vikes have played here every year. They know how slippery the fieldturf can be.

Hey what a shock, the Vikings WR who practiced in the longest cleats all week also played the best (ignore the box stats, Nailors yards came in junk time).
Oof, pretty definitive!
And if he did, does that change anything? Nope.

Jaire was attached to his hip on those and was in position to make a play on the ball.
WHAT IS THIS CONCEPT? Do they mean to imply that no other NFL team double covers JJ? If so, guess what is going to happen from now on- everyone will double him. He just went from a HoF career to 3rd string. 🙄
Of course other teams have double covered him in the past. He still feasted. Just like Tae got double and triple coverage when he was with the Packers. Guess what happened? Nothing. He still was targeted, caught the ball and got his yards.

Out of curiosity, went back and looked at Jeffersons game log to see how GB stacked up. His worst games heading into Sunday were against Detroit (!), Dallas, New York Jets and Philadelphia. Now I'm wondering how much Sauce Gardner and Darius Slay matched up in press vs Jefferson and if words gotten out around the league that if you're physical with Jefferson early, you can get him rattled (granted, you need a top physical corner to do so). As I saw someone point out, Jeffersons complaining about the no taunting call after the game looks real bad. Like, he got in your head that badly and so easily?
