Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson has given new quarterback Sam Darnold a simple two-word set of instructions this season: Trust me.
Darnold did just that Sunday while throwing from his own end zone, hitting Jefferson deep downfield against double coverage and then watching as Jefferson turned it into a 97-yard touchdown pass.
Jefferson got behind safeties Ji'Ayir Brown and George Odom, hauled in the pass at the 49ers' 45-yard line and then pivoted and outraced Brown and Odom to the end zone.
We're really about to put an active player in Canton.@JJettas2
