Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings are at Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears on “Monday Night Football”. The Vikings find themselves in the playoff hunt as they are a game back of the New Orleans Saints for 7th place in the NFC, and could draw closer with a win over the Bears and a loss by the Washington Football Team against the Eagles on Tuesday in a game postponed by COVID-19.
ESPN’s crew is on hand at Soldier Field, and that means that Randy Moss is on hand to watch his former team. And Jefferson, who was just named to his 2nd Pro Bowl and received the news from Moss himself, donned the Hall of Famer’s own Pro Bowl jersey during warmups ahead of the game.
Take a look below as Moss and Steve Young greeted Jefferson on the field:

Moss played in 6 Pro Bowls, 5 of those as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. With Jefferson’s own career in Minnesota off to the right start, it probably won’t be difficult for the former LSU great to reach that number himself.
