Murray targeting Jefferson consistently, including 19-yard scramble drill

Murray showed willingness to put the ball in Jefferson's vicinity, which the source notes cannot be taken for granted after the last year or so of Vikings football; Jefferson made three insane catches in the game, including a 19-yard completion in the first quarter on a scramble drill where he snapped off a crosser and got a chunk gain.
