EAGAN, Minn. — Justin Jefferson has gone four full games in a row for the Minnesota Vikings without reaching 100 receiving yards. That's the longest such streak of his spectacular career. He said he's sick of not hitting that mark. Jefferson has a touchdown catch in five of six games this season and 531 receiving yards for a per-game average that ranks fourth in the NFL this year as he's adjusting to new quarterback Sam Darnold. He sees more opportunity for progress ahead for the Vikings. They play at the Los Angeles Rams this week.
