The Minnesota Vikings had about as bad a first half as one could imagine in the Week 8 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Not only was the Vikings' defense non-existent, but Minnesota's offense was terrible, too, with the unit mustering up just three points and 93 yards of total offense.
While the Vikings were heading into the locker room at the conclusion of the first half, wide receiver Justin Jefferson was clearly frustrated with his team's showing.
"Justin Jefferson is livid walking into the locker room. Josh McCown came over to tap him to try to keep him uplifted. Walking very slowly in, alone," The Athletic's Alec Lewis reported.
Jefferson did his best to carry the Vikings' offense, as he tallied six catches for 72 yards. Unfortunately for Minnesota, it simply wasn't enough.
While the Chargers definitely deserve credit for the Vikings' slow start, it's also worth noting that quarterback Carson Wentz clearly isn't 100%. Left tackle Christian Darrisaw also isn't in the game because of a knee issue.
Meanwhile, the Chargers moved the ball at will against the Vikings' defense and ended up with 21 points over the first two quarters.
We'll see if the Vikings can get going in the second half, but it isn't looking good for head coach Kevin O'Connell's squad.
