The previous record was 2,755, set by Odell Beckham Jr. when he was a New York Giant. Beckham, now a member of the Rams, was on the opposite sideline when Jefferson set the record.
After Sunday's game, Jefferson has 2,581 cumulative yards. With two more games left this season, he's sure to add to his record-setting total.
