Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson also paid tribute to Moss after scoring a touchdown in the first quarter, shouting a message of support to the camera. Moss announced on Friday that he is a "cancer survivor," having undergone surgery and spent six days in the hospital for treatment of cancer in his bile duct. He expressed gratitude for his medical team and the support he received.

Moss, surprised by the diagnosis given his perceived health, temporarily stepped away from his analyst role on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" but aims to return as soon as he recovers. The 47-year-old, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018, played 14 seasons in the NFL, notably with the Vikings, Raiders, Patriots, Titans, and 49ers. He holds the record for most touchdown receptions in a single season (23) and is second all-time in career touchdown catches (156).
