Vikings’ Brian Flores has to be smiling after forcing Aaron Rodgers into a career first he didn’t want

The Minnesota Vikings have seen some success so far against the New York Jets in London and hold a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The defense has been the catalyst for their success, as defensive coordinator Brian Flores' unit has been excellent as usual. They forced two interceptions by quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the first 15 minutes, which was the first time he had done that in his 20-year career.

Flores was brilliant in how he used us blitzes early on in the game. He ran a zero blitz with everyone on the line of scrimmage on the third play of the game. The following drive, the Vikings ran the same look knowing that Rodgers would want to throw the slant and dropped players into the hook zones. That got Andrew Van Ginkel his second pick-six of the season.

The second interception was a deep dig route where Rodgers just sailed the ball over Allen Lazard's head and Camryn Bynum got the pick to stop the Jets from driving. They have stifled Rodgers all game and that doesn't appear to be stopping.

Playing against the Vikings has been rouse of horrors for Rodgers and that's not stopping anytime soon.
