Jets vs Vikings NFL London Match Results, Live Updates: New York and Minnesota travel to the UK for the second international game of the season

Minnesota pulled off a bit of a surprise this season as its veteran signal-caller led the NFL in touchdown passes and passer rating in Week 4. That's certainly unexpected for the 2018 first-round draft pick, who was waived by the same Jets after the 2020 season and early career difficulties.

The Jets were hoping to have some stability at quarterback for at least the next few years when Aaron Rodgers arrived in the Big Apple before last season, but the torn Achilles tendon that kept him from playing all but four games in 2023 and a The mediocre start to this season – Rodgers is middle of the pack in touchdowns, yards and passer rating for the 2-2 Jets – could be cause for initial concern. That could change with a win over Minnesota and get Gang Green over .500 in the first of three straight weeks the NFL will be in London.
