Justin Jefferson

Despite not sharing the field alongside his new quarterback for nearly two months, Justin Jefferson needed only Minnesota’s first drive in Week 8 to show that the “JJ-to-JJ” connection hadn’t missed a beat. Still as dangerous as any pass-catcher walking planet Earth when everything’s clicking, the Vikings’ superstar offered a tone-setter, taking to the skies to collect a one-handed, game-tying touchdown on Nov. 2, 2025. Jefferson’s heroics were among the top-fold stories in Minnesota’s 27-24 road win — as nine-and-a-half-point underdogs — no less, and he overwhelmed the Detroit Lions’ defense with a six-catch, 47-yard, one-score afternoon.
