In case anyone forgot, Justin Jefferson is still one of the best in the league.
Jefferson cut into the Detroit Lions lead in a way that only Jefferson could, as the Minnesota Vikings trail the Lions 17-14.

It’s been a while since Jefferson has found the end zone for the Vikings, but it isn’t all his fault. His first full game as the featured receiver was last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he was still knocking a bit of rust off.
The rust is gone, and all that remains is the former All-Pro receiver who is a threat to score anytime he is on the field. Jefferson’s ability to extend the play along with his concentration to make the catch, while falling towards the sideline and staying in bounds makes Mullens’ job that much easier. No matter who is quarterbacking in the second half, the objective should be simple: Keep feeding Jefferson. He is still hungry.
