Justin Jefferson: Sam Darnold Is Getting Comfortable With This Offense

12/12/24 - Hour 2

Vikings All-Pro WR Justin Jefferson and Rich discuss the emergence of QB Sam Darnold this season from draft bust to potential franchise quarterback, the leadership of head coach Kevin O’Connell, if Minnesota can catch the Detroit Lions in the NFC North, and his friendly rivalry with former LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase.

ESPN’s Seth Wickersham tells Rich why Bill Belichick shocked everyone by taking the North Carolina job, how the 72-year-old coach will relate to college players and deal with NIL and Transfer Portal demands, how the changing politics in the NFL soured the 6-time Super Bowl champion on a return to coaching in the league, and more.

Rich previews what’s at stake in the pivotal NFC West showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football.
