Jefferson passes Moss to set Vikings single-season receiving yards record

Minnesota Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson broke Randy Moss' franchise record for most receiving yards in a season with a 25-yard reception in the first quarter of Saturday's 27-24 victory against the New York Giants.

Moss previously held the record with a 1,632-yard season in 2003.

Jefferson came into the Week 16 meeting with the Giants needing just 10 yards to pass Moss after posting 1,623 receiving yards across 14 games.

The 23-year-old finished the game with 12 receptions for 133 yards, giving him 1,756 receiving yards on the season.

Jefferson continues to close in on Calvin Johnson's single-season NFL record of 1,964 receiving yards set in 2012.

Selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Jefferson has put up at least 1,400 receiving yards in each of his three seasons. Entering Saturday, he totaled 307 career receptions for 4,639 yards and 24 touchdowns.
