A pair of former Vikings star wideouts paid tribute to Randy Moss before Monday night's game against the Bears got underway and a current one did the same in the first quarter of the game.
After catching a touchdown pass in the first quarter Monday night, Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson gave a shoutout to franchise legend Randy Moss, who announced Friday that he is being treated for cancer.
His touchdown came as he ran a crosser in the back of the end zone and blew by a trail defender, it was one of the most open looks he's had all season. Unfortunately Jefferson dropped another ball near the five-yard line that looked like it had scoring potential when he tried to turn and run with the ball before it got there. Jefferson took another Sam Darnold pass 17 yards to the one before Aaron Jones vultured the score. Jefferson will remain a high-end WR1 in Week 16, even with a draw against a stingy Seahawks pass defense.
Jefferson brought in seven of 13 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday night.
