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.
With that 12-yard reception, @JJettas2 passes WR Randy Moss for the most receiving yards in a player's first four seasons in team history.
1. 5,408 Justin Jefferson (2020-23)
2. 5,396 Randy Moss (1998-2001)— Vikings Communications (@VikingsPR) December 10, 2023
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.
