Justin Jefferson’s next catch will be historic one for Vikings

As the NFL's regular season enters its second week, record-breaking plays are already in the making. Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has the potential to cement his name in the franchise's history books during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. If he catches his 588th career pass, Justin would surpass the legendary Randy Moss for second-most receptions in Vikings history.

Moss's impact on the team is undeniable, having had a stellar rookie year and an unforgettable career. With this one play, Jefferson could join Moss in the record books.

The Vikings take on the Bears, who struggled in their first game despite a revamped defense. While the focus will be on Caleb Williams' 59 points, the Bears' defensive struggles could play a big role in Jefferson's quest for the record. With 37 points allowed to Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, the Bears' defense could be a key factor in Jefferson's pursuit of Moss's record.

Currently, Jefferson is more than halfway to Moss's record, and Sunday's game could be a step closer to achieving his goal. In addition to surpassing Moss, Jefferson could also begin working towards breaking Cris Carter's all-time record of 1,004 receptions. Carter currently holds the record with 1,004 receptions.

A strong early-season start, such as a 2-0 record against divisional foes, could give the Vikings a significant advantage. The Detroit Lions will face the New York Jets on Sunday, and their defense allowed 30 points in Week 1. For now, Justin Jefferson and the Vikings will concentrate on playing against the Bears in Chicago and working towards history in the process.
