Meyers watched Jefferson’s catch throughout the Patriots bye week and had an acceptable response.
“That was loopy,” Meyers informed reporters on Monday. “I can’t even put it collectively how he caught it, however that was a loopy catch. That was powerful.”
However does it beat Beckham’s iconic 2015 catch vs. the Dallas Cowboys?
“That’s a troublesome query proper there,” Meyers stated. “That is likely to be. For me, it is likely to be. I imply, the Odell one was undoubtedly monumental, only for younger receivers. However that was one thing critical. That was a great catch.”
Jefferson helped Minnesota take down Buffalo with 10 catches for 193 yards and a landing. The 23-year-old’s efficiency was a reminder that he belongs within the dialog as a top-three wideout within the NFL — arguably No. 1.
Meyers and the Patriots will see Jefferson once they go to the Vikings on Thanksgiving Night time. Earlier than that, they’re going to put together for subsequent Sunday’s Week 11 showdown vs. the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium.
