Justin Jefferson leads team with 55 yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson posted three receptions for a game-high 55 yards on six targets in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears.

Why it Matters: It was a sloppy track, as it rained for the entire game, and Jefferson is playing with backup quarterback Carson Wentz. So, in actuality, it was a pretty decent stat line. It’s good practice to check the weather report prior to setting your lineup, as a steady rain can, literally, dampen the performance of quarterbacks and star receivers, in particular.
