Get Ready for a Thrilling Showdown in London: Vikings Take on Jets in Week 5
The NFL’s international series kicks off early Sunday morning at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as the undefeated Minnesota Vikings face off against the New York Jets. Sam Darnold, an MVP candidate, leads the Vikings against his former team, now led by Aaron Rodgers.
The Vikings have been dominating this season, boasting a strong offense with Darnold, Justin Jefferson, and Aaron Jones. Meanwhile, the Jets are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4.
