Justin Jefferson breaks Randy Moss’ Vikings record for season receiving yards

Justin Jefferson Kirk Cousins Vikings Randy Moss Giants Kevin OConnell Brian ONeill Greg Joseph Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS — Quarterback Kirk Cousins called multiple plays in the huddle with 19 seconds left in the Vikings' 27-24 win against the Giants on Saturday afternoon. The play Cousins settled on at the line of scrimmage was familiar to not only his teammates, but to the situation at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Facing another Giants blitz, Cousins checked into a screen to Justin Jefferson, in which right tackle Brian O'Neill, right guard Ed Ingram and tight end T.J. Hockenson would form a blockade in front. The Vikings ran the same play in overtime of last week's win against the Colts for 13 yards to set up kicker Greg Joseph's winning overtime field goal.

This one got 17 yards set up Joseph's record 61-yard, game-winning kick over the Giants.
