After finishing with eight receptions in Sunday’s loss to the Bears, Justin Jefferson now has 73 receptions in his rookie season with the Vikings through Week 15.
That breaks Randy Moss’ team rookie record of 69 receptions that he posted in 1998.
Jefferson will surely add to his total and probably have more than 80 receptions by the time he plays the final two games of the season.
Moss finished his rookie season with 1,313 receiving yards. Jefferson currently has 1,177 receiving yards, just 136 away from hitting that record.
Assuming both he and Kirk Cousins can stay healthy, that seems probable
