"That's a big reason, maybe, why Adam had 14 touchdowns. If they want to focus on Justin, then that gives Adam a lot of 1-on-1 opportunities," Cousins noted. "Justin did another great job today. And in this offense, we're going to run the football. So it's going to open up a lot of explosive plays for Justin, but he also has to stay patient, because there's going to be times where we're running the ball well and we're not throwing it to him every play.
"He did a great job this year of being ready when his number was called and just continuing to show up for us," Cousins added. "His future's bright, and I'll be thrilled for the chance to keep playing with him."
Jefferson has already bettered the personal goals – 1,000 yards, six touchdowns and 60 catches – he set for himself entering his rookie campaign.
He finished his first pro season with 88 receptions, 1,400 yards and seven scores. He played in all 16 games and started the final 14 contests, reaching the 100-yard threshold in seven games.
There's still one more within reach, though.
