NFLSU Week 10: Jefferson, Peterson carry Vikings to comeback overtime win
Guess who said this?
“It felt like it was unreal. The big catches, the big moments when people are looking for you to make a play, that’s what I like most.”
Yes, that’s former LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings. He seems to turn in a spectacular performance weekly, but he was on a whole other level Sunday in the Vikings 33-30 comeback overtime victory at Buffalo.
Nine of Jefferson’s 10 catches resulted in first downs. He finished with a career-high 193 receiving yards and 1 TD.
The Vikings ended the game when former LSU defensive back Patrick Peterson made his second interception of the game.
