Monaco – Justin Jefferson recorded 139 receiving yards in his Minnesota Vikings’ 33:26 win against the New England Patriots. He broke the record set by Randy Moss, who previously held 4,163 yards for most receiving yards in the first three NFL seasons. Jefferson is currently at 4,248 yards and has six more games to extend his record.
The game started strong: Vikings first quarterback Kirk Cousins led his offense straight on the first drive for a touchdown, which Justin Jefferson scored for the home team. His Patriots counterpart, Mac Jones, answered return mail and found wide receiver Nelson Agholor in the end zone.
New England Patriots vs. Minnesota Vikings: Game contested until halftime
After that the game calmed down a bit. Patriots scored with field goals, Vikings added a touchdown. With a score of 16:16 we entered the break.
Both teams then exited the locker room with power: First New England marched 75 yards to a touchdown on their first drive, then the Vikings responded with a kickoff return touchdown over 97 yards – 11:23pm .
Subsequently, the referees made a controversial decision. A catch by Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was ruled a touchdown. According to video images, however, this decision was revised and the Patriots had to settle for a field goal.
Patriots allow themselves too many penalties
It should be the last points for the Patriots. The Patriots have repeatedly lost their reward with needless fouls. With the home win, the Vikings made the right answer on a 3:40 home run slapstick against the Dallas Cowboys last week.
The Vikings host the New York Jets on Game Day 13. The Patriots are already challenged next Thursday in the Thursday Night Game against the division rival Buffalo Bills.
