Justin Jefferson passes Randy Moss in one category in Vikings history

Justin Jefferson passed Randy Moss on a career milestone with his first catch of the season in Sunday's game.

Justin Jefferson's impressive start to his career with the Minnesota Vikings continues to make waves in the team's history books. On Sunday, during a rain-soaked game at Soldier Field, the talented wide receiver showcased his skills with a 30-yard reception on the second play from scrimmage. This marked his 588th career reception, surpassing the impressive Randy Moss for the second-most receptions in Vikings history.

Jefferson's performance on this day was crucial, as it set the stage for a field goal and a 3-0 lead for the Vikings. Despite still being far from becoming the all-time receptions leader, with Cris Carter holding the impressive record of 1,004 catches, Jefferson is on a solid path to adding to his legacy. Currently, he trails Moss by 689 receiving yards, a milestone he is determined to reach in the near future.
