The Vikings have hopped over the Irish Sea having faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin.
Jefferson, 26, was held out of the end zone as Minnesota were beaten 24-21.
The receiver is known for his “Griddy” celebration after scoring touchdowns.
He showed it off when he scored against the New Orleans Saints at Tottenham in 2022.
Speaking on The US Sun’s show Ain’t That Our Ball, Jefferson said, “I had one for Ireland and I didn’t get a chance to pull it out.
“Hopefully I can get in the end zone again and show the fans the Griddy again.”
The Vikings are 2-2 this season after struggling with injuries and missing key players.
“It’s been different,” Jefferson said.
“Having our adversity of injuries and different people being in different positions.
“I feel like our team is in a good spot.
“We understand the pros and the cons that we’re doing and we’re just trying to put everything together and understanding the formula for this team.
“I feel it’s a transition and 2-2 is a great start but we’ve got to kick it up a notch.”
Quarterback JJ McCarthy will miss the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Minnesota will also be without four offensive lineman while backup quarterback Carson Wentz will start again.
One key player who returned last week was fellow wide receiver Jordan Addison.
The 23-year-old was suspended for three games after violating the league’s substance of abuse policy.
Addison caught four passes for 114 yards in his season debut last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I love having him out there,” Jefferson said.
“He’s definitely a talented player and for him to be an option for us opens it up for everyone else, not just me but the whole entire offence.
“Having him out there, TJ Hockenson, Jordan Mason in the backfield – having all these different guys out on the field means Wentz can go anywhere with the ball and we can make something happen.
“It’s been great having him back and having an extra person to help out.”
