Home » Sports » NFL » Is Justin Jefferson playing tonight? Minnesota Vikings vs Indianapolis Colts: Match Prediction, Injury Report & Players to watch out for

All you need to know about the availability status of Justin Jefferson in tonight’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Indianapolis Colts.

Week 15 is going to be a challenging contest for the Minnesota Vikings, as they will be taking on the Indianapolis Colts. While the Colts’ season has been a complete and utter failure, the Vikings are in an excellent position to win the NFC North.

The Colts are still capable of causing issues for the Vikings due to the fact that they perform well when playing against good teams, as we have witnessed on multiple occasions this season.

The Colts have almost no chance of making it to the postseason this year, but the Vikings still have the top record in the NFC and are looking to cap up the regular season on a winning note. We can expect a close game in this meeting between the Vikings and the Colts.

Availability status of Justin Jefferson:

The good news for all Vikings fans is that their star receiver Justin Jefferson is fully healthy to play in an important game against the struggling Colts. Jefferson has arguably been the best receiver in the league this season, and his presence is quite important for the Vikings.

Player to watch out for in Minnesota Vikings vs Indianapolis Colts

Although Jonathan Taylor hasn’t played at the level he played last season he still is one of the best running backs in the game. The Vikings’ defense is vulnerable and that was seen in their last game against the Lions, as a result, we can expect a nice outing here from Taylor.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

The Colts will undoubtedly possess a tough challenge for the Vikings but we expect Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins to lead the Vikings to another win and keep their position intact for the playoffs.

  • Minnesota Vikings to win the game against the Indianapolis Colts.
