Justin Jefferson breaks Vikings record in first game back

In his first game back, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson officially passes Hall-of-Famer Randy Moss for the most receiving yards by a Viking in their first four seasons.

Jefferson was tied with Moss before he left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for seven weeks. Before he was sidelined, Jefferson was the focal point of this offense, and for good reason. Jefferson has been the heartbeat of this passing attack outside of Kirk Cousins. Kevin O’Connell enjoys utilizing the former All-Pro in various ways, stretching defenses vertically and horizontally with his versatility.

Unfortunately, his record-breaking day is clouded with uncertainty as he had to leave this game against the Las Vegas Raiders with a chest injury. He is currently questionable to return.

Hopefully, he can build on his record-setting day sooner rather than later.

Stay tuned to Vikings Wire for more live game updates.
