Justin Jefferson disrespected Amik Robertson after the Lions win on Sunday Night

The Detroit Lions got a huge win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night and clinched the first seed in the NFC and won their second straight division title.

Cornerback Amik Robertson was a huge part of that. He was tasked with covering arguably the best receiver in the NFL Justin Jefferson and he handled it as well as anyone possibly could.

Robertson held his former high school rival to three catches for 54 yards on nine targets. The big moment came when he nearly had an interception in the end zone on what could have been a Jefferson touchdown.

Robertson said that after the Lions' win over the Vikings in Week 7 when Jefferson scored on Robertson, Jefferson said "Good game" to him afterward.

But after the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings, Jefferson just walked right off the field. Robertson said that rubbed him the wrong way.

There's a strong chance the Lions could face the Vikings in Detroit in two weeks if the Vikings are able to beat the Rams on the road in the Wild Card. What could a Robertson vs Jefferson part three look like and will there be more respect this time?
