The Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE goes with the header, "Wilf brothers, 20 years in as Vikings owners, score again with Justin Jefferson contract." The Vikings kicked off a news conference celebrating WR Justin Jefferson's historic contract extension with a group photo "that included all the key figures involved in the deal." Jefferson, coach Kevin O'Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah went directly to the platform. Co-owner Mark Wilf "initially shuffled to the side of the room, content just to observe," until a team executive motioned for him to join the others up front. That moment illustrated the Wilf brothers' -- Mark and Zygi -- approach as owners: "Show a commitment to winning, stay in the background." That philosophy "is all that fans of any team in any sport can ask of owners."
