The Minnesota Vikings remain one of only two unbeaten teams in the NFL as they prepare to face the New York Jets in London for the season’s second international game. Leading the charge for the Vikings is unexpected MVP candidate Sam Darnold, who has shocked many by topping the league in both touchdown passes and passer rating as they head into Week 4. This resurgence is particularly notable given Darnold was a first-round draft pick in 2018 but struggled early in his career and was released by the Jets following the 2020 season.
On the other hand, the Jets were looking forward to a stable quarterback situation with Aaron Rodgers joining the team last season. However, an Achilles injury sidelined him for most of 2023, and his performance so far this season has been underwhelming, placing him in the middle of the pack in touchdowns, yards, and passer rating as the team sits at 2-2. A victory against the Vikings could provide a much-needed boost for New York and help elevate them above the .500 mark as the NFL continues its London series for the next three weeks.
