Jordan Addison & Justin Jefferson Combine for Five TDs

Jordan Addison & Justin Jefferson Combine for Five TDs

The Vikings passing game got right with WR Jordan Addison catching eight of 12 targets for 133 yards and three TDs. WR Justin Jefferson also ended his six game streak without a TD catching all seven targets for 132 yards and two TDs.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison caught eight of nine targets for 162 yards and a TD while Justin Jefferson only caught two of five targets for 27 yards. Addison was the favored target for QB Sam Darnold who threw for 330 yards and two TDs.

With a focus on Vikings WR Justin Jefferson by the Jets defense in the second half, Jordan Addison became a target hog getting eight targets resulting in three catches for 36 yards.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson scored for the third straight game in Sunday's victory over Houston. He was one of four Minnesota players to catch TD passes from QB Sam Darnold in the victory. Jefferson led the team in targets (8), receptions (6), and yards (81).

The Vikings plan on WR Justin Jefferson (quad) being a "full-go" vs. the Texans today, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jefferson was left off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday, so this latest report is just confirmation that the quad contusion won't be an issue today. Jefferson, of course, is a must-start.
