TRENDING NFL Week 8 updates CFB winners & losers Week 8 Fantasy Football Toolkit Williams earns MVP honors Alvarez schools Mbilli Story by Story by Justin Jefferson’s juggling touchdown is a catch only he could make Mark Schofield Sun, November 1, 2026 at 7:14 PM UTC · 1 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Sunday's game between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings might be the most fascinating contest on the Week 8 slate. Certainly the matchup between Brian Flores' defense and the high-scoring Lions offense is a heavyweight tilt, but the undercard of the Vikings offense against a suspect Detroit defense is intriguing as well.
Most notably because it gives the Vikings offense a chance to get on track. While Minnesota is the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL, the Vikings have scored just ten touchdowns this year — nine on offense and one from a punt return — the second-lowest mark in the league.
Only the winless Los Angeles Chargers have scored fewer touchdowns.
But it helps when you have Justin Jefferson.
The star wide receiver got the Vikings in the end zone on this goal-line fade route, hauling in a throw from Kyler Murray. But this is not the kind of catch you see every day:
Jefferson gets his left hand to the football, but somehow completes the catch while falling to the Ford Field turf, pinning the ball to his left shoulder after it bounced off his hand, and as he crashed down to the field.
The Vikings offense might be trying to find its footing today, but Jefferson certainly has the hands part covered.
