It’s hard to beat having a pick-six in your first career game like Brian Branch did last season against the Kansas City Chiefs. That will always get labeled as a career day and fortunately for the Lions, Branch has had plenty of good games in his young career.

“He’s going to get the ball,” Lions safety Brian Branch said about Jefferson. “Great route runner, got some speed to him, and he’s a dog, so shoot, dog meet a dog.” At 5-0, Minnesota owns one of the NFL’s two unbeaten records. Detroit has a 4-1 mark.

Since being selected with the No. 22 pick in the 2020 draft, Jefferson has had an incredible amount of success whenever the Vikings have played the Lions. A reporter suggested that maybe he simply matches up well against them.
