Justin Jefferson had another magnificent game on Sunday as Sam Darnold continued to find his elite Minnesota Vikings wide receiver.
Hobbling on a bum ankle after taking a hit, Darnold somehow connected with Jefferson behind two Seattle Seahawk defenders to give the Vikings a 27-24 victory.
The play was good for 39 yards and completed a 10-catch, 144-yard, two-touchdown game for Jefferson.

The Vikings are 13-2 and remain in control of their destiny with two weeks left.
The Seahawks had two chances to tie or win the game. Jason Sanders was short with a 60-yard field-goal attempt and Geno Smith was picked off by Theo Jackson on Seattle’s last drive.
