Two former LSU wide receivers had 11-catch performances on Sunday in the NFL’s Week 13, but their teams didn’t win.
Second-year pro Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings had 11 receptions (in 14 targets) for 182 yards, including a 3-yard TD with 1:50 left to play that would have been the game-winner if Detroit’s Jared Goff hadn’t thrown a game-winning walkoff TD in a 29-27 Lions win.
Also, fourth-year pro Russell Gage of the Atlanta Falcons had 11 catches (in 12 targets) for 130 receiving yards in a 30-17 home loss to the Tampa Bays Bucs. The Bucs scored the first TD of the game when former LSU running back Leonard Fournette caught a 3-yard scoring pass while beating the pass coverage of Atlanta linebacker and former LSU star Deion Jones.
