Justin Jefferson is a special talent and that was abundantly clear with this 30-yard strike from Cousins to Jefferson to extend their lead to 21-13 against the Carolina Panthers.

Jefferson split out wide and was one-on-one with Carolina cornerback D’Shawn Jamison on 2nd and short, a perfect time for a deep shot to the end zone. Jamison hesitated as Jefferson threatened him vertically and once Jefferson got even with Jamison, Cousins put the ball in the air.
Jamison did everything he could to contest the catch, but to no avail as Jefferson came down with the grab and gave the Vikings a 21-13 lead in the waning moments of the third quarter.
Jefferson has had a stellar start to the season and with his 6 reception, 85-yard and two-touchdown performance today, he is further illustrating why he should be deemed the top receiver in the NFL.
