    Jets' Aaron Rodgers Looking Back On Past Vikings' Matchup

    By Nick Faria,

    Few quarterbacks in the NFL have had the kind of experience and success against one time quite like Aaron Rodgers has had against the entire NFC North.

    After all, with the Green Bay Packers, it was normally Rodgers who emerged victorious from the division or lasted longer than the eventual division winners.

    That doesn't mean teams didn't have success against the four-time NFL MVP.

    As Rodgers' new team, the New York Jets, prepare for a Week 5 contest in London, they'll do so against the team that has been the most competitive against the quarterback over the years.

    "Had a lot of great memories, lot of good battles over the years, a lot of tough memories," Rodgers said Friday. "Old Metrodome was a tough place to place to play, this'll be the fourth place. Played him at the old Metrodome, University of Minnesota, US Bank, and now White Hart Lane."

    Rodgers may be 17-11-1 during his career against Minnesota, but he's also just 2-3 in his last five games against the previous division rival.

    New York is trying to escape the dreaded 2-3 start to the regular season when the undefeated Vikings roll into town. That means the organization will be relying on Rodgers again to provide the kind of leadership necessary to be successful going forward.
