DETROIT — Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson smiled when quarterback Kirk Cousins congratulated him on joining the 200-yard club in the postgame locker room. Jefferson's 11 catches for 223 yards against the Lions broke Sammy White's franchise regular-season record of 210 yards that had stood since 1976.

But Jefferson's smile faded when he was asked by reporters about weighing the record against a 34-23 loss to the Lions.

"This isn't an individual game," Jefferson said. "I'm an ultra competitor. I hate losing. I hate losing in board games, so imagine losing a football game."

Jefferson said he thought he should have had more yards. He disputed an out-of-bounds ruling on a 39-yard catch in the fourth quarter.

"I felt like I didn't step out, but they called what they called," Jefferson said. "Got to move on."

Jefferson has NFL-leading 1,500 receiving yards with four games left after collecting 1,616 yards last season. Randy Moss' single-season yardage record for the Vikings is 1,632.

Anthony Carter holds the franchise's postseason record for receiving yards in a game with 227 on 10 catches against the 49ers on Jan. 9, 1988.
