The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings will clash in London for an exciting Week 5 NFL matchup that promises to be a tactical battle. The Jets enter the game with a 2-2 record, looking to bounce back after a narrow 10-9 loss against the Denver Broncos. Aaron Rodgers, who has been the heart of the Jets’ offense, will need to regain his form against a Vikings defense that has shown it can make big plays. Rodgers has thrown for 849 yards and 5 touchdowns but needs more support from the run game to keep defenses honest. Meanwhile, the Vikings come into this game undefeated at 4-0, riding the strong arm of Sam Darnold, who has thrown for 932 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Vikings’ offense, averaging 29.0 points per game, will look to exploit a Jets defense that has allowed just 15.5 points per game but struggled against more dynamic offenses. Justin Jefferson will be the key player to watch for the Vikings, as he has consistently found ways to get open, tallying 358 receiving yards this season. The battle in the trenches will be crucial for both teams. The Vikings have a more balanced offense, with Aaron Jones leading the way with 321 rushing yards. If the Jets want to keep up, they’ll need to get more production out of Breece Hall, who has only managed 174 rushing yards this season. The game could be decided by which team can establish the run and control the clock, limiting the opposition’s big-play potential.
