Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson was questioned about his experience with the instability at the quarterback position this season following Minnesota’s 30-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. His response, according to The Athletic’s Alec Lewis, was centered around praising the stability that he did have with quarterback Kirk Cousins.
“I really think it goes to show the rest of the world the type of player Kirk is. At the end of the day, this is a tough league. … It’s tough not having 8 out there, the captain that he is, the leader that he is. He’s a great player.”
As we celebrate the holiday season and surround ourselves with family and friends, it’s important to remember to be thankful in these times. ‘Tis the season to be grateful for the blessings we have and for the family we have around us. Jefferson utilized this opportunity, a question centered around overcoming adversity at the quarterback position, and focused on the leadership he learned and praised Cousins and their shared experience through the first three years of his career.
Don’t think about the negative aspects of life that could bring you down this holiday season. The four-interception games of our daily lives are frustrating and all-consuming, but if you focus on those moments, you will never be able to progress to where you are supposed to be. Instead, focus on those moments that bring you joy and enhance your life, like Jefferson’s first three seasons with Cousins.
Embrace those moments and truly enjoy the holiday season with those that make your life easier.
Merry Christmas to everyone in the Vikings Wire family and SKOL Vikings.
