Justin Jefferson’s one-handed catch made the history books. Not just his game, but his consistency had made him the frontrunner for the MVP award. He has incredible stats with a catch percentage that exceeds expectations.
After the game, Jefferson admitted that he was happy that Cousins trusted him with the ball. He said that in the heat of the moment, he only knows that he is “going to fight for the ball”. Jefferson also confessed that the whole moment felt “unreal” like a “movie”. It was his 20th career game and he passed up on Odell Beckham Jr and Randy Moss for playing that many games in his first 3 seasons. But his catch has been the highlight.
