Justin Jefferson Surpasses Another Vikings Great

Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.

Despite the Minnesota Vikings falling to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football, wide receiver Justin Jefferson continues to blast his way through the team’s record books.

With his eight-catch, 115-yard performance on Thursday night, Jefferson moved himself into fifth place on the team’s all-time receiving yardage list. He now has 6,545 career yards, passing Jake Reed for that fifth-place spot.

In his Vikings career, Reed caught 413 passes for 6,433 yards.
