   ​Justin Jefferson made a phenomenal grab on his 39-yard touchdown reception against the Packers on Sunday, but he was in a rare one-on-one matchup thanks to a subtle move by quarterback Carson Wentz.“They were going to put a roof over us,” O’Connell said of Green Bay’s defense during a Tuesday interview on KFAN. “In fact, the deep ball we completed to Justin on the touchdown, they were in quarters — and we got them to jump offsides, and Carson was able to kind of look [safety Xavier McKinney] to the middle of the field and make it a one-on-one, but they were really trying to limit those opportunities and not let us get those big plays.”Brian Baldinger analyzed a handful of Wentz’s passes via the All-22 game film, and his breakdown clearly shows Wentz looking all over the field, even hitching to the right, before delivering a strike to Jefferson. “You watch Carson here. He sees the offsides by Van Ness. He knows he’s got a free shot,” Baldinger said. “Not his first look, but this throw was a dart.”.@Vikings@packers@cj_wentz came off the bench and made one big throw after another.
