How to watch Jets vs. Vikings Week 5 London game

Football Sunday will have an earlier start than usual in Week 5.

That’s because the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings are heading across the pond for an international NFL showdown in London.

The unbeaten Vikings have been the biggest surprise team early in the 2024 season, thanks in large part to quarterback Sam Darnold playing like a legit MVP candidate. Darnold took over the starting gig after No. 10 pick J.J. McCarthy went down with a season-ending injury in the preseason, and the 27-year-old signal-caller has looked better than ever while leading Minnesota to a 4-0 start with victories over multiple expected playoff contenders.

The Vikings can add to their impressive résumé when they take on the team that drafted Darnold third overall back in 2018 in the Jets. New York hasn’t quite gotten off to the start it would have liked in Aaron Rodgers’ return to the field. The Jets are 2-2 and coming off an ugly home loss to the Denver Broncos.

Darnold has already gotten revenge on the Jets once, beating New York 19-17 in his Carolina Panthers debut in Week 1 of the 2021 campaign. Will Darnold hand his former team another loss, or will Rodgers and Co. bounce back abroad?
