- Fan taunts Justin Jefferson about daughter, shouts racist remark at Caleb Banks
A fan sitting near the front row behind the Vikings sideline during Sunday's game against the Lions in Detroit was caught on camera heckling Justin Jefferson and Caleb Banks, including a racist remark directed at Banks.
On at least two occasions that were caught on video , a man with a raspy voice could be heard yelling at the Minnesota players.

"Take care of your daughter!" the man repeatedly shouted at Jefferson.
"You don't know me," Jefferson responded.
The fan kept pushing: "You don't know your own daughter!" he repeated.
"Do you know me?" Jefferson asked, only for the fan to yell back, "Do you know your daughter?"
"I do," Jefferson said.
"No, you don't," the fan replied.
Jefferson appeared to end the encounter by telling the fan to "shut the f*** up," at which point the video ends.
In another incident, the fan targeted Minnesota's 2026 first-round pick, defensive tackle Caleb Banks.

"You're the darkest Caleb I've ever seen," the man yelled.
"I've never seen a Caleb as dark as you," he repeated three times.
Banks gave the man a look, shouted something inaudible and walked away.
