PHILADELPHIA -- Justin Jefferson is -- once again -- in the NFL record books.
The Minnesota Vikings receiver tied Hall of Famer Lance Alworth for the fewest games needed to reach 5,000 receiving yards in a career. Jefferson surpassed the milestone on a 4-yard reception during the second quarter of Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
It was Jefferson's fourth catch of a game in which the Vikings had so far struggled to get the ball downfield.
In Week 1, Jefferson surpassed another Hall of Famer, Randy Moss, to set the league record for most 150-yard receiving games before turning 25 years old (nine).
