Justin Jefferson 1-yard TD gives Vikings 7-3 lead over Lions

In the second quarter, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kyler Murray, giving the Vikings a 7-3 lead over the Detroit Lions. Jefferson, who had already scored four touchdowns this season, was matched up one-on-one on the left side and successfully tipped the fade pass to himself before diving to secure the catch.

The Lions' offense struggled to start the game, as kicker Will Reichard missed a crucial 57-yard field goal attempt wide right. Detroit receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was also briefly sidelined after going down on a pass that was ruled incomplete but later deemed a touchdown; however, he returned to the game shortly after.
