Game balls: Vikings vs. Bears
Justin Jefferson was the center of attention again as he chased another record.
JUSTIN JEFFERSON
Vikings receiver
He was the center of attention as he approached Randy Moss' franchise record for receiving yards in a season. He came up 16 yards short after five catches for 107 yards and a TD, but in two NFL seasons he has 3,016 yards, an NFL record. He had seven 100-yard games this season and tied Adam Thielen for the team lead in touchdowns with 10.
IHMIR SMITH-MARSETTE
Vikings receiver
The rookie had the first 100-yard game of his NFL career in his first start, snaring three catches for 103 yards and a 44-yard touchdown.
PATRICK PETERSON
Vikings cornerback
The veteran returned his first interception as a Viking for a touchdown on a fourth-and-1 play in the fourth quarter that gave his team its final 31-17 advantage.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
