Justin Jefferson Racks Up 159 Yards On Thursday

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 11-of-13 targets for 159 yards with a lost fumble in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old had a solid first half before losing control of the ball while reaching for the goal line after a big 30-yard play near halftime. Jefferson then had a quiet third quarter before brewing again for three catches and 59 yards during a fourth-period drive which ultimately led to a K.J. Osborn touchdown. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year is now up to an astounding 20 receptions and 309 yards over his first two games, but is still searching for his first visit to the end zone. Jefferson should have a good shot at doing that in Week 3 versus a Los Angeles Chargers defense that was just pulverized by Tyreek Hill for a 11/215/2 receiving line in the season opener.
