Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson expressed confidence in quarterback Sam Darnold's abilities following his impressive franchise debut, where Darnold completed 19 of 24 passes for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns against the New York Giants. As the Vikings prepare for a challenging schedule, including games against the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets, they hope to maintain momentum and recover from injuries to key players. Meanwhile, 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir reflected on his past experiences against Darnold during practices, indicating a strong belief in his own abilities to defend against him. Darnold, who had a reset year with the 49ers last season, is eager to apply his learning in the upcoming match against his former team. Both players anticipate a competitive showdown, emphasizing their familiarity with each other's strengths and preparations.
