The Tennessee Titans have been on the wrong side of history a few times this season, and they could find themselves in familiar territory again when they take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11.

The 2-7 Titans have not performed well this season, making the 7-2 Vikings a heavy favorite heading into the game. A big reason why the Vikings have been so successful over the years is the impact Justin Jefferson has had on the field.

Titans team reporter Jim Wyatt writes that the Vikings will try to prevent Jefferson from reaching a huge milestone.

“The Vikings have one of the NFL’s most beastly receivers in Justin Jefferson, who already has 53 catches for 831 yards and five touchdowns on the season. Jefferson, who has 6,730 yards receiving in his career, can surpass Torry Holt (6,784) for most receiving yards by a player in his first five seasons in NFL history,” Wyatt wrote.

Week 11 marks Jefferson’s 70th career game, meaning he’s averaging just under 100 yards per game for his career, and he’s doing so with only half of his fifth season underway.

Jefferson would almost certainly have to break the record at some point in the final eight games of the season. The Titans want to make sure this doesn’t happen under their watch.

With L’Jarius Sneed (quad) and Chidobe Awuzie (groin) still sidelined with injuries, it’s up to players like Roger McCreary and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to try to stop Jefferson – and that is no easy task.

However, if the Titans can find a way to hold Jefferson under 54 yards, they may have a chance to not only avoid breaking the record, but possibly win the football game.
