    Video of Aaron Rodgers Crawling Around in Pain Goes Viral

    By Chris Licata,

    The New York Jets fell to 2-3 on the season following a 23-17 loss in London to the Minnesota Vikings, who remained undefeated at 5-0.

    Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a rough day, finishing the Week 5 game having completed 29-of-54 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions — including the game-ending pick to All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore as the Jets were approaching a potential game-winning touchdown with under one minute in regulation.

    The day was made worse with an injury that hampered the 40-year-old throughout most of the second half.

    With the Jets trailing 17-7 with just over six minutes remaining in the third quarter, Rodgers went down injured after his left leg got twisted underneath a pair of Vikings defenders.

    Rodgers could be seen shouting in agony in the middle of the attempted sack as his leg was bending behind him.

    As he attempted to get to his feet, NFL Network broadcast cameras captured Rodgers crawling on his knees in pain.

    A now-viral video of the moment is circulating on social media. It was viewed over one million times in its first two hours on the X platform.

    Rodgers did re-enter the game on the next drive and ultimately finished the contest despite being visibly gimpy while trying to move around. He confirmed to reporters after the game that he suffered a low ankle sprain.

    Things don't get much easier for him and the Jets moving forward, either.

    They'll host the Buffalo Bills (3-1) for "Monday Night Football" next week, before traveling to Pittsburgh for a "Sunday Night Football" matchup with the Steelers (3-1) in Week 7.
