A heartwarming moment occurred after Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson gifted a young fan his SportsCenter Top 10 chain following Monday Night Football’s win against the Chicago Bears.
Down 17-6 in the fourth quarter, the Vikings scored 21 unanswered points to take home a 27-24 opening week win at Solider Field.
Jefferson, who scored to begin Minnesota’s second-half comeback, approached the young fan in the front row following the game. The 26-year-old proceeded to put his SportCenter Top 10 chain around the fan’s neck and gifted him the game ball.
The former LSU receiver recorded 44 yards against the Bears along with the touchdown. He is currently entering his sixth season in the NFL.
