Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson recorded eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. This performance marks Jefferson's first game with two touchdowns since December 22, 2024, a season where he struggled, tallying only two TDs throughout. His touchdowns came while Carson Wentz was quarterbacking the Vikings, raising questions about how Jefferson will connect with Kyler Murray, who is out with a concussion.
