Jets-Vikings Grades: The offense starts slow and continues to seem out of sync

INJURY: F

The offense has been a mess the last two weeks. In this game, the Jets didn't take care of the football, protect their quarterback or get a running game going in their 23-17 loss to the Vikings in London. Aaron Rodgers also has to take a lot of blame. He threw three interceptions – all of them his fault. He threw a pick-6 in the first quarter and ended the Jets' chances of winning by throwing in a pass that was intercepted by Stephon Gilmore in the final minute. In total, the Jets had seven series in which they only played three games. Rodgers was sacked three times and scored eleven goals. Breece Hall only rushed for 23 yards.

DEFENSE: B

Jeff Ulbrich's defense kept the Jets in the game. They had a few hiccups but had two takeaways. Brandin Echols' interception in Minnesota territory led to the Jets' second touchdown, making it a one-score game. The Jets put some pressure on Sam Darnold, sacking him four times. However, they had problems with Justin Jefferson. He had 92 yards receiving. During a Vikings touchdown drive, they were assessed three penalties – all while trying to cover Jefferson. Sauce Gardner was called for pass interference and holding, and DJ Reed was penalized for pass interference.

SPECIAL TEAMS: B

Xavier Gipson's 30-yard punt return led to the Jets' first touchdown. They were down 17-0 late in the first half and his return gave them the ball at the Vikings' 31.

COACHING: D

The Jets continue to get off to slow starts on offense, even though the first 15 plays are committed. It's time for coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and Rodgers to change the script. Falling behind 17-0 reflects poorly on Robert Saleh for a team that looked like it wasn't ready for the Vikings' blitz.
