Justin Jefferson has been the best wide receiver in the NFL this season, and he had Twitter buzzing with a filthy route against the Colts during the Vikings’ miraculous comeback on Saturday. It wasn’t against some no-name cornerback, either. He burned Stephon Gilmore for a touchdown in the red zone, easily beating the star corner for six points.
Jefferson pretended to run a quick out route before faking a whip route to the inside, only to continue toward the sideline and leave Gilmore grasping at air. It was one of the better routes all season, and it was actually taken from Cooper Kupp.
