Week 2 has Justin Jefferson set to make Vikings history
Justin Jefferson has a chance at Minnesota Vikings history next week against the Chicago Bears.
In Week 2, Justin Jefferson is poised to etch his name into Vikings history. The star receiver delivered a standout performance on Sunday, putting up impressive numbers with 8 receptions for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a crucial two-point conversion. This marked his first touchdown at home and first two-touchdown game since November 2024.
Jefferson's stellar play sets the stage for a historic milestone next week against the Chicago Bears. With just one reception, he will surpass the all-time record for receptions held by Randy Moss, currently sitting at 587. Jefferson is on track to surpass Cris Carter's record of 1,004 receptions before retiring, and could potentially eclipse that total.
Currently ranked just outside the top 100 in all-time receptions, Jefferson's young age of 27 years old gives him the potential to end his career inside the top ten or even compete with the game's greatest receivers.
