NFL London 2024 games: Fixtures, kick-off times, previews & how to follow on the BBC

Both Rodgers and the Jets will arrive in London banged-up and licking their wounds after an ugly 10-9 home defeat to the Denver Broncos on Sunday dropped them to 2-2 for the season.

Robert Saleh’s side have a great defence but are just ordinary offensively so far, and they really need to get that clicking as the pressure starts to mount.

Now fit after his Achilles surgery, Rodgers was meant to lead this team on a big Super Bowl push in what could be his final season. The pressure will continue to build until they figure that out.

On the flip side, things could hardly be better for the 4-0 Minnesota Vikings, the only other unbeaten team in the NFL alongside defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell lost his new QB JJ McCarthy in pre-season to injury but Sam Darnold has had a remarkable renaissance after previously being one of the worst quarterbacks statistically during his previous six seasons.

Darnold was drafted third overall by the Jets, but never really given any support and with now the league’s best receiver Justin Jefferson to throw to, an elite running back in Aaron Jones and a solid defence – although only four games in he is an early and very surprising MVP candidate.

Darnold leads the league with 11 touchdown passes and would like nothing better than to stick one on his former side – and upstage headline-maker Rodgers in the process.
