Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson won dodgeball for the NFC, after he made an impressive one-handed grab to win the competition at the Pro Bowl Skills Challenge.

Dodgeball was added to the Pro Bowl festivities in 2017 and has provided several entertaining moments over the years. While Cleveland Browns wideout Jarvis Landry starred in previous years to win it for the AFC, it was Jefferson who stepped into the dodgeball spotlight Thursday.

Jefferson, 22, was one of two NFC players, along with the Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, who made it to a showdown with Browns running back Nick Chubb. After Chubb took out Diggs, it was down to just Jefferson and Chubb before the Vikings receiver made the game-sealing catch.

The 2020 first-round pick made the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons in the NFL and already has 3,016 career receiving yards and 17 touchdown grabs.
