Game summary:
Minnesota had an interesting game. The setting in London wasn't great, with rain coming down earlier in the day - the turf was fairly slippery. Both teams started kinda flat for most of the 1st quarter. The Vikings had been able to kick a 54 yard field goal but not much progress was being gained. Then, Aaron Rodgers threw his first pick of the day - to Andrew Van Ginkel who proceeded to run the ball back for a pick-six, Minnesota's first touchdown on the day. In the 2nd quarter, neither team was able to get much done until the Vikings were able to punch in a touchdown via fullback CJ Ham. It was Ham's first touchdown in several years. The Jets finally woke up before halftime and punched in their first TD of the day.
In the 2nd half, neither was very productive. Sam Darnold through his only interception of the day as well. New York was able to get close enough to the endzone for a 32 yard field goal. In the 4th quarter, Minnesota also kicked another field goal. New York continued their momentum from last drive and went down and scored a touchdown. The Vikings proceeded to drive and kick a field goal to make the game a touchdown game. The Jets were driving and threatening to make Minnesota loss-less no more. But Stephon Gilmore had other ideas and picked off Aaron Rodgers again! This ended the game with the Vikings victorious. 

Injury Update
QB Sam Darnold briefly left the game with an injury in the 3rd quarter, with Nick Mullens taking his place. He returned in short order.
RB Aaron Jones left the game in the 1st quarter with a hip injury and did not return. It is unclear how severe this injury is.

Up Next
Now the Vikings will come home to Minnesota for their bye week. They will resume action in Week 7 when they host Detroit on Sunday at 12 PM CT.
