Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who made his comeback on Sunday (Dec. 10) from a hamstring injury, suffered another hit and was taken to hospital after that. The latest injury, however, had nothing to do with the hamstring one which he made a comeback from against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The incident happened in the first half when Jefferson tried to reel in a pass but was hit by Raiders safety Marcus Epps. The hit immediately put Jefferson on the ground before being taken to the medical tent. Have a look at the video below:

As for the game, the Vikings went on to win the game 3-0, thanks to a late field goal in the fourth quarter. Both teams were unable to score a single touchdown in the Sunday Night game, a rare sight in the league.

With the win, the Vikings are now second in the National Football Conference (NFC) North division with a 7-6 win-loss record. The Raiders, on the other hand, slumped to fourth place in the American Football Conference (AFC) West division with a poor 5-8 win-loss record.

Mahomes charges at referees

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was furious and had to held back by teammates from charging to the referees during the game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday (Dec. 11). The QB was not happy with an offside call on a Chiefs touchdown by the refs which eventually proved game-deciding for them.
