The NFL returns to London with the Minnesota Vikings playing the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Aaron Rodgers will hope to ignite the Jets’ season after being upset by the Denver Broncos to fal to 2-2, with Sam Darnold inspiring a remarkable start for the undefeated Vikings, who lead the NFC North with a 4-0 record.

Robert Saleh’s team could only produce nine points last time out, while Kevin O’Connell’s offense continues to cut through opponents, registering 30+ points for the second consecutive game.

The Vikings are 3-0 in London and last beat out the New Orleans Saints in 2022, while the Jets are 1-1, falling to the Atlanta Falcons back in 2021, while Rodgers himself endured a tough outing with the Packers two years ago, as the New York Giants rallied to a 27-22 victory, outscoring Green Bay 17-2 in the second half.
