Vikings’ Kirk Cousins connects with Justin Jefferson on first-quarter touchdown pass
He took care of that early in the Vikings’ game Sunday at FedEx Field. Jefferson soared high over Washington Commanders safety Darrick Forrest to haul in a 9-yard pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins, giving the Vikings an early 7-0 lead. It was his fourth catch of the Vikings’ opening possession.
Jefferson’s previous two touchdown receptions both came in the season opener against the Green Bay Packers. He also scored on a running play in a Week 4 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
