Justin Jefferson Passes Randy Moss, Moves to No. 2 on Vikings Career Catches List
"Jets" has flown past Randy Moss in another stat category.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson made his 588th career reception Sunday in wet-and-rainy Chicago, moving into the No. 2 spot on Minnesota's all-time receptions list.
The grab happened on just the second play of the game and went for 30 yards. After an 8-yard run by Aaron Jones, Sr., Carson Wentz dropped back and sent the ball sailing down the left sideline to No. 18.
Jefferson's long reception set up Minnesota to continue downfield on a drive that ended with a 35-yard field goal by Will Reichard, putting the Vikings on the board first.
Jefferson made eight catches against the Packers last week to tie Moss; his 92 yards and two scores in the Border Battle helped the Vikings seal a thrilling comeback victory.
Reaching the new benchmark on the road at Soldier Field is apt for Jefferson, who helped the Vikings enter the game with a six-game win streak at the venue that began in his rookie season. He put up nice numbers against the division rivals, as well, entering Sunday's matchup with 59 catches for 790 yards and four touchdowns through 10 total games against the Bears.
