Justin Jefferson set a new personal receiving touchdown record in week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers.
It happened in midway through the second quarter when the Vikings took the ball at the 3 yard line, following an excellent Mitch Wishnowsky punt.The Vikings looked to be in real trouble.
However, ‘Baby Brock’ and the Vikings said not so fast.
On second down and nine, Darnold surprised everyone when he found Justin Jefferson going deep on the 49ers secondary. Jeffersons combination of speed and shiftiness helped him avoid a chasing Ji’Ayir Brown and George Odum on the way to the Vikings first touchdown of the game.
A statement touchdown if there was one, the score would put the Minnesota Vikings up ten to nothing on the way to their 23-17 victory.
