The lack of production caused frustration among fans, with some questioning whether the star receiver was battling injuries and others expressing their anger on social media.
“36 seconds left in the first half and neither Justin Jefferson nor Jackson Smith-Njigba have a catch. Madness,” one fan wrote on X.
Another said, “Put me in the coach right now, I’ve got a fantasy league to win and Justin Jefferson won’t be able to see the ball and get it done.”
A third person commented, “So I guess Justin Jefferson and Jackson Smith-Njigba aren’t catching passes today. Funny thing.”
Another said, “Please someone explain to me how Justin Jefferson and Jackson Smith Njigba have 0 receiving yards at halftime.”
Another wrote, “Through the first 22 minutes of the game, Justin Jefferson and Jackson Smith-Njigba have as many goals as you or I.”
“Justin Jefferson and Jackson Smith-Njigba are with me this week in fantasy football. Time to end it all,” one fan said.
