Justin Jefferson has another record to his name. During the Vikings game in Tennessee yesterday he finished racking up the most receiving yards in a player's first five NFL seasons. And there are still seven games to go.

He helped the Vikings beat Tennessee, bringing their record to eight wins and two losses.

Sports guys Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what's next for the Vikings — plus the High School Football Championships this weekend.
