I almost view Jefferson's behavior during the Baltimore game as a loyalty punch card system. Every day of the year he's so polished, professional, positive (and other nice p words, I guess). He gets to turn in his card and vent some frustration once in awhile. The Baltimore game was on the house. But now it's time to refocus and perform, and I think he found a good foundation seeing his Buffalo catch.
The frustration is there for Jefferson for sure. The comment about “the ball not finding my hands” the other day was a little bit of a passive aggressive Minnesotan moment. He is about as far from being a diva as any WR this team has ever had, though. Being frustrated on the field and making a very carefully worded, political comment or two after a game where your QB was sailing passes over your head and it was made abundantly clear that the season isn’t going anywhere does not come anywhere close to diva behavior.

I always feel so bad for him. He is such a incredible player and person - he deserves better. I hope they can get it turned around.
