Vikings WR Justin Jefferson earns NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors
Our eyes didn't deceive us.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson looked like the most dominant force in football last month, and he was rewarded with NFC's Offensive Player of the Month honors for November, per Ian Rapoport.
Jefferson's incredible month included the best catch of all time during a stretch where his numbers were as absurd as that catch in Buffalo. In four November games, Jefferson had 29 receptions for 480 yards and three touchdowns. He added 10 yards on one rushing attempt against Washington and had an 11-yard completion against New England.
He made what would be extraordinary for anyone else look completely ordinary for himself.
Minnesota (9-2) is well on its way to a division crown and a potential first-round bye. After two ugly losses to Philadelphia and Dallas, there have been doubts if the Vikings are for real. Those same concerns haven't followed Jefferson. He looked like the best player in the NFC during the month of November. With his most recent honor, our suspicions were confirmed.
