Vikings WR Justin Jefferson Catches TD, Shouts Out Randy Moss on MNF
The Minnesota Vikings are trying to continue their winning ways tonight vs the Chicago Bears, on Monday Night Football. Halfway through the first quarter, so far so good. As I begin writing this, the Vikings just took a 10-0 lead, thanks to a Sam Darnold to Justin Jefferson touchdown pass and catch.
Another Vikings legend, Randy Moss, announced that he is battling cancer on Friday via Instagram live, after a mass was discovered and removed from his bile duct. Moss was thankful and announced himself cancer-free, after undergoing a successful surgery within the last week or two. Now, Randy is preparing for post-operation radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

After catching his first quarter touchdown on Monday night, Jefferson laid down another unique twist on The Griddy, before making a heart with his hands, then yelling “WE LOVE YOU, RANDY! THAT’S FOR YOU!” into the camera, in a show of support for another Minnesota Vikings phenom wideout.

Jefferson entered Monday’s week 15 primetime matchup with 75 receptions for 1,170 yards and 7 touchdowns, so far this season. It took half of a quarter for him to increase all of those numbers vs the Bears. But it was what JJ did with his celebration that got everyone’s attention.
When Randy Moss arrived in Minnesota back in 1998, he reshaped the game of football forever. He set records we never thought would be broken. Then, in 2020, the Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson, and he’s been breaking all of them.

But as good of a wide receiver as Justin Jefferson is, he’s an even better person. Every Minnesota Vikings fan across the world is thinking/praying about Randy Moss this week. JJ is no different. Chris Carter and Jake Reed were honorary captains tonight, at U.S. Bank Stadium. They walked out holding up a Randy Moss jersey.
