Justin Jefferson Breaks Randy Moss' NFL Record for Yards Through 6 Seasons
MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Jefferson put another record under his Christmas tree.
The receiver hauled in a 10-yard reception from undrafted rookie Max Brosmer with less than three minutes remaining in Minnesota's 23-10 win over Detroit.
The snag moved the chains, set up a 42-yard field goal by Will Reichard and helped the Vikings seal the deal to improve to 8-8 on the season.
It also moved him past Vikings Ring of Honor and Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss for the most receiving yards in an NFL player's first six seasons.
The moment was recognized on the video boards at U.S. Bank Stadium, drawing a significant cheer from an electric crowd.
"It definitely feels good," Jefferson answered when asked about that moment. "It's always a dream to compete against the best to ever do it, a Hall of Famer, especially one of the faces of this franchise, so it's great."
