Odell Beckham Jr. calling: Justin Jefferson hears from a big fan after his catch in Buffalo

Vikings 600227172

Jefferson's acrobatic fourth-down grab is considered a rival to "big brother" Beckham's famous catch in 2014.

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was limited in practice Thursday with a toe injury but said he’s “perfectly fine.”

When the Vikings boarded the team bus to head for the airport after their 33-30 win in Buffalo on Sunday, Justin Jefferson got a phone call from the receiver whose acrobatic catch he might have surpassed: Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham, who is preparing to sign with a team for a late-season stint after tearing his ACL in Super Bowl XLVI with the Rams, rose to fame in 2014 by using three of the fingers on his right hand to catch a touchdown pass while diving backward against the Cowboys.
