Vikings Defeat Jets 23-17 in London

The Minnesota Vikings maintained their undefeated record with a 23-17 victory over the New York Jets in London, propelled by a strong defensive performance that included three interceptions of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold had a challenging game, throwing for 179 yards and one interception, but managed to secure the win against the team that drafted him in 2018. The Vikings took an early lead with a pick-six from linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, contributing to a 17-0 advantage before the Jets attempted a comeback. Despite a lackluster performance from Darnold, who went nine consecutive attempts without a completion, the Vikings defense held strong, with a game-clinching interception from Stephon Gilmore in the final minutes. The victory improves the Vikings to 5-0, marking their best start since 2016, while the Jets fall to 2-3. The matchup showcased the ongoing struggles of Rodgers, who completed only 29 of 54 passes and experienced criticism for his inefficiency.
