Watch the insane moment Vikings star Justin Jefferson produces 'one of the best catches ever' against Packers
Minnesota Vikings sensation Justin Jefferson left NFL fans in disbelief once again on Sunday night after pulling out an all-time great catch against the Green Bay Packers.
In the fourth quarter at Minnesota's U.S. Bank Stadium, Jefferson leapt up in the air and produced an astonishing one-handed catch on a Vikings third down after being picked out by quarterback Sam Darnold.
Yet to the dismay of the home crowd, the wide receiver's insane piece of skill eventually went in vain when the referees called an offensive penalty.
Fans rushed to social media to heap praise on Jefferson despite his catch being negated, with one exclaiming: 'JUSTIN JEFFERSON IS NOT HUMAN. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CATCHES EVER, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN'.
Another posted: 'That's just not human! Crazy Good.'
'Man that sucks it didn’t count,' said a third.

A fourth put: 'He makes it look so easy!'
While one even claimed about the Vikings star: 'He keeps this up he’s top 10 all time'.
Despite Jefferson's catch ultimately not counting, Minnesota still held on for a hard-fought 27-25 win over Green Bay which improved their record to 14-2.
Darnold added another exploit to his career-altering season, passing for a personal-best 377 yards and three touchdowns to raise his passing touchdown total to 35 - the fourth-most in NFL history by a player in his debut season with a team.
Jefferson, meanwhile, registered eight catches for 92 yards on the night.
Sunday's win means the Vikings are now set for a mouthwatering showdown with the Detroit Lions in next week's regular-season finale, with the NFC North title and the conference's top playoff seed up for grabs for the winner.
