A frustrated Justin Jefferson absolutely destroyed a Buccaneers defender after an interception

Justin Jefferson Kirk Cousins Christian Izien

Entering Sunday’s Week 1 opener, Justin Jefferson picked up where he left off for the Minnesota Vikings. Though one half, the NFL’s best receiver had seven catches for 138 yards, routinely getting open against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ overmatched secondary.

Unfortunately, despite Jefferson’s best efforts, Minnesota remained tied at 10-10 with Tampa Bay. And it seemed pretty apparent Jefferson wasn’t happy after a late second-quarter play.

With the Vikings driving and on the doorstep of a touchdown, Kirk Cousins threw a terrible interception right into Christian Izien’s hands. It was the veteran’s third turnover of the afternoon. As Izien tried to bring the ball back, a frustrated Jefferson absolutely brought the wood on a monster hit, showing he’s got a little edge and physicality to his receiving game.

Oh my goodness. I knew Jefferson was special and could get open against anyone. I didn’t know he could hit people like THAT. I guess that’s what happens when Kirk Cousins is your quarterback, and he’s letting you down … again.

This was how Twitter reacted to Jefferson's monster hit
