    Justin Jefferson makes more history despite Vikings loss to Rams

    All Justin Jefferson seems to do is break records.

    Despite the Minnesota Vikings’ 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on “Thursday Night Football,” the best receiver in the game made more history.

    The superstar's first catch of the night moved him up to fifth on the Vikings’ all-time receiving yards list in just his 67th career NFL game.

    Then, in the third quarter, he hauled in a ridiculous, juggling, over-the-shoulder catch along the sideline. That 27-yard grab made him the first Viking to have at least one catch of 25+ yards in each of his first seven games of a season since at least 1994.

    Finally, some NFL history for the man known as “Jets,” who finished the night with a game-high eight catches for 115 yards.

    That total gave him his 31st 100-yard receiving game — again, in just his 67th NFL game. That’s more 100-plus-yard games than in his first five seasons than any other player in history, passing former Vikings great Randy Moss.

    He entered the night as the fifth-leading receiver in the league this season and jumps to first after his performance Thursday night, of course, pending the weekend games.

    He's also now just 239 yards behind Torry Holt for the most receiving yards through a player's first five seasons in NFL history — with 10 games left in the season.

    Just another day at the office for WR1.
