Justin Jefferson lost an earring.
But that's what teammates are for, right?
The Minnesota Vikings' superstar wide receiver was caught by NFL Films telling people on the sideline that he had lost track of one of the two earrings he was wearing in Week 18. He figured he must've lost it at some point taking his helmet off.
But then, while Jefferson was sharing his story, Aaron Jones walked up to him with the earring. Jefferson wanted to know where he found it, and Jones quickly deflected praise.

It was Ty Chandler who'd done it, Jones said.
Jefferson gave Chandler some love, and he certainly owes Chandler a favor at some point.

It ended up being a good day all around for Jefferson. He needed 53 yards to get to 1,000 for the season and extend his streak to six such seasons in a row. He got there in the first half.
The Vikings may not have had the season they wanted. They've got to figure out the quarterback position.
But as long as they've got Jefferson, and his reliable teammates, they'll have a chance at bouncing back in 2026.
