Surprise NFL MVP candidate Sam Darnold leads the undefeated Minnesota Vikings to London to face the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers in their second international game of the year. Minnesota has been a bit of a surprise this season as the journeyman signal caller led the NFL in touchdown passes and passer rating heading into Week 4. It’s certainly unexpected from a 2018 first-round draft pick who was taken away by these same Jets after the 2020 season and early career struggles.
The Jets were hoping for some stability at the quarterback position, at least for the next two years, when Aaron Rodgers arrived in the Big Apple before last season, but a torn Achilles sidelined him for all but four games in 2023, and a mediocre start to this season – Rodgers is in the middle of the pack in touchdowns, yards and passer rating for the Jets 2-2 – which could be cause for some early concern. That could change with a win over Minnesota to get the Gang Green over .500 in the first of three straight weeks the NFL will be in London.
