description

Deemed one of the NFL’s Cinderella-type stories during the early season’s slate, the Minnesota Vikings — undefeated, and yet still underdogs — discovered once more that nothing is out of reach if Justin Jefferson’s white-and-purple-colored gloves are in play. Aligned outside, and against man-to-man coverage, Minnesota’s all-world wideout presented one of his career’s best examples, showcasing immaculate concentration on a back-shoulder dime before capturing a 14-yard snag. The touchdown proved significant, giving Minnesota a commanding 28-0 edge, and allowing Jefferson to build on what ultimately became a season-opening, four-week stretch with a touchdown reception. The Vikings, following Jefferson’s lead, hung on for a 31-29 victory over the never-say-die Green Bay Packers, with the three-time Pro Bowler providing six catches (on eight targets) for 85 yards and a touchdown on Sept. 29, 2024.
