Vikings vs. Jets live score updates: NFL London game in Week 5
It’s time for some American football in England’s capital city.
The Vikings (4-0) and Jets (2-2) traveled to London this week to take part in the NFL’s second International Series game of the 2024 season. After a couple days of adjusting to the time change, they’re all set to battle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what is technically a home game for the Vikings on Sunday.
There’s plenty of intrigue in this one. The Vikings are looking to move to 5-0 for the first time since 2016 and just the ninth time in their history. Led by Sam Darnold, Justin Jefferson, and a dominant defense, Minnesota has been one of the best stories of this season so far. Can they keep it rolling in October? A loss would leave a bad taste in the Vikings’ mouth as they head into their bye week.
The Jets are hoping to bounce back from a tough loss against the Broncos and get back above the .500 mark. Aaron Rodgers is making his 30th career start against the Vikings, a team he went 17-11-1 against during his long Packers tenure. How he fares against Brian Flores’ defense, which leads the league in numerous categories, will be fascinating. The Jets have been an elite defense themselves over the past couple seasons, but they’ll have their hands full with Kevin O’Connell’s offense.
Here’s how to watch or listen to the game. These five matchups will be key. And here are our score predictions.
