Current and former Vikings showed Randy Moss plenty of love Monday night in the national showdown against the Bears.
And Moss, unaware of the compliment, expressed his gratitude.
The Vikings legend revealed last week that he had been battling cancer and had successful surgery to remove cancer found in his bile duct.
Before the game, former wide receivers Jake Reed and Cris Carter took Moss's No. 84 Vikings jersey onto the field for the coin toss.
“In honor of Randy Moss and all those fighting cancer, let's make Moss Cancer,” the public address announcer said as the two former Vikings took to the field.
This trio comprised one of the most famous receiver trios in NFL history.
Fans inside US Bank Stadium started chanting “Randy, Randy!” Reed and Carter were standing at midfield for the coin toss.
The compliments didn't end there.

When Justin Jefferson scored a first-quarter touchdown to give the Vikings a 10-0 lead over the Bears, he dedicated the score to Moss.
“We love you Randy! It's for you,” exclaimed Jefferson as he celebrated the touchdown catch.
Moss clearly recognized the show of support from the Vikings and expressed his gratitude in a post to X.
“Everyone, Luv! #Let'sMocancer” he wrote.
Moss opened up about his cancer in an Instagram post on Friday, saying he had been hospitalized for six days.
ESPN announced on Dec. 6 that he would be stepping away from his role as an NFL analyst for “an extended period of time to focus on personal health issues.”
In a statement on his Instagram, he said he would be returning to “Sunday NFL Countdown,” adding that he was “forever grateful” for the six-hour surgery and doctors.
