The Minnesota Vikings are coming off two complicated games, but they still found a way to win.
That’s easier when a superstar like Justin Jefferson is running routes and deviating the defense’s attention for you.
That happened again on Sunday before their road game against the Tennessee Titans, even though he hadn’t padded up yet.
Jefferson made the rounds for his new outfit before the game.
As the NFL on X showed, he donned a custom-made varsity-style jacket to honor Jesus Christ before the contest.

Jefferson could make history in the game vs. the Titans.
He’s 55 yards shy of logging the most receiving yards by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history, passing Torry Holt (6,784).
That’s even more impressive, considering he missed almost half of the season last year.
Jefferson averages north of 90 yards per game, so he’s technically on pace to do so on Sunday afternoon.
Then again, the Titans will make life hard on Sam Darnold with their strong defense.
Darnold hasn’t been particularly sharp over the past few weeks, especially in the close win vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As great a player as Jefferson is, Darnold has to be wary not to force-feed him.
Having Jefferson out there will open up many things for the rest of the offense, and if they manage to take care of the football, they should win this game.
