WATCH: Vikings had stunned reaction to Justin Jefferson's epic catch
Jefferson was lights out against the top-scoring defense in the Buffalo Bills. On 16 targets, Jefferson amassed 10 receptions for 197 yards and a touchdown. The stat line included arguably the greatest catch in the history of the National Football League.
While the defense made huge plays, the Vikings don't win the game without Jefferson and his ability to be clutch when the Vikings needed it the most.

This season, Jefferson has six games with 100 or more receiving yards. He has 69 receptions for 1,060 yards and four touchdowns. He also leads the league with 117.8 yarders per game.
