Justin Jefferson TD catch gives Vikings 13-7 lead over Saints

The Minnesota Vikings finally broke their offensive drought with a timely touchdown, thanks to Justin Jefferson’s sharp play in the end zone. The star wide receiver, playing in his home state of Louisiana, stretched for a 15-yard score in the back of the end zone, giving Minnesota a 13-7 lead over the New Orleans Saints.

It marked Jefferson’s first touchdown since the fourth quarter of Week 1, ending a stretch where the Vikings had gone without an offensive score since Week 3. Quarterback J.K.

Murray supported him with precise passing, completing 17 of 21 attempts for 164 yards and the game’s lone touchdown pass to Jefferson, who finished the drive with five catches for 71 yards.
