seestyle: NFL receiving yards record How Justin Je

With the NFL regular season now spanning 17 games and wide receiver talent off the charts, it feels inevitable that Calvin Johnson's single-season record for receiving yards will eventually fall.Cooper Kupp made a serious run at the record last season, falling just 17 yards short, but two new candidates emerged early this season in Miami's Tyreek Hill and Minnesota's Justin Jefferson.As the season has progre sed, [url=https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/bob-dandridge-jersey]Bob Dandridge Jersey[/url] Jefferson has continued to pile up impre sive numbers and position himself as the one player who can threaten Johnson's record. A rough Week 17 hurt his chances of catching Johnson, but Week 18 offers Jefferson a chance at redemption.IYER:Here's what Jefferson has to do in Week 18 to break Johnson's record. Calvin Johnson set the single-season [url=https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/christian-wood-jersey]Christian Wood Jersey[/url] receiving record in 2012, finishing with 1,964 yards and clearing Jerry Rice's previous record by more than 100 yards.Other players have come fairly close since then, with seasons of 1,800 yards by both Julio Jones and Antonio Brown plus last season's near-mi s by Kupp, but no one has broken the record or hit the 2,000-yard mark. The Bears allow more yards per attempt than any team in the league, with a mark of 7.2.Teams don't pa s often against Chicago. In fact, the Bears have faced the second-fewest pa s attempts in the league, which is to be expected considering the [url=https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/allen-iverson-jersey]Allen Iverson Jersey[/url] Bears are 3-13 and teams tend to build up an early lead against them.A pa s-happy Vikings team could look to throw the ball often against the Bears in Week 18 if the goal is to put Jefferson in position to break the record.MORE: On the surface, Jefferson's chances of reaching Johnson's record are not great. He only had one catch for 15 yards in Week 17, which means a huge performance is required to finish with 1,964 or more yards.Jefferson needs 193 yards to tie the record and 194 to break it. While he has games of 223 and 193 yards already this season, it's not exactly a safe bet [url=https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/pau-gasol-jersey]Pau Gasol Jersey[/url] that Jefferson will approach 200 yards in a game that won't move the Vikings up or down in the standings as long as the 49ers beat the Cardinals.MORE:With that being said, we've seen teams try to put players in position for records before. At the end of the 2020 season, the Buccaneers kept Mike Evans in a meaningle s game until he recorded his seventh consecutive 1,000-yars receiving season.That same day, Derrick Henry entered 223 yards shy of a 2,000-yard rushing season but received a season-high 34 carries and reached the prestigious mark.If the Vikings realize they can carve up the Bears' secondary, Minnesota might try to balance preserving Jefferson's health with giving him enough targets to make [url=https://www.bucksfanedge.com/milwaukee-bucks-jeresy/jon-mcglocklin-jersey]Jon McGlocklin Jersey[/url] a serious run at the record.
