The aforementioned catch came in the Vikings' Nov. 13 win over the Buffalo Bills, and kept their hopes alive on a desperate 4th and 18 play. Jefferson earned an NFC Offensive Player of the Week award after that game for his 10 catches, 193 yards and one touchdown. The game marked a career-high in yardage.

In total, Jefferson had 29 catches for 480 yards and three touchdowns in four games in November. His monthly award is all the more impressive considering he -- and the rest of the Vikings -- put up an absolute clunker against the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 20. Jefferson had just three catches for 33 yards in that 40-3 loss.
