“Gotta get over this hump”

The big-play wideout feels like he's just off the mark with Sam Darnold and there could be a deluge, possibly Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

“If you watch it on tape, the explosive plays are everywhere on the field, not just me. They're all over the field and we have to have all 11 of us dialed in to make and call those plays.” “I need Sam a little more time,” Jefferson said. “So it will be one of those games where we will show the world what we are really capable of and hopefully it will be Thursday night.”

In Week 7, Jefferson (6,430) passed Jerry Rice (6,364) for the third-most receiving yards by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history; he trails No. 2 Randy Moss by 313 yards. The Vikes wideout needed nine grabs to pass Cooper Kupp (433) for the third-most catches by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history.
