Justin Jefferson has not had the season he probably anticipated, but the All-Pro wide receiver still managed to reach a spectacular milestone in Week 16 of the 2025-26 campaign. And he did so while helping the Minnesota Vikings eliminate the Detroit Lions from playoff contention.
Jefferson only recorded four receptions for 30 yards, but it was enough to propel him into rarefied air. He now has 8,379 receiving yards in his NFL career, surpassing legendary WR Randy Moss for most ever in a player’s first six seasons, per the Vikings Communications X account.
The 2022 Offensive Player of the Year secured a crucial 10-yard reception on third-and-5 with just under three minutes remaining in the game. Impressive kicker Will Reichard ultimately capped off the drive with a 42-yard field goal, giving the team a 23-10 lead. Minnesota won by the same score, plunging Detroit to last place in the NFC North. All in all, it was a pretty great Christmas for Jefferson.
