    Jets practice before London showdown with Vikings 03:33

    LONDON -- The New York Jets (2-2) are in London for an NFL Week 5 showdown against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings (4-0).

    The Jets practiced in Hertfordshire on Friday before the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Quarterback Aaron Rodgers met with reporters and said New York is ready for the challenge.

    "We've been up and down. We came off a good Thursday night game where we were efficient in all areas and then just didn't play well at home . We're still trying to find a way to get the ball in space to our guys, get out best 11 on the field. It starts with me. I've got to be efficient and deal the ball when necessary, hold onto it when necessary and make sure we're good on first, second down this week," Rodgers said.

    "Atmosphere-wise, it's awesome"

    The game will be Rodgers' and head coach Robert Saleh's second in London.

    "Atmosphere-wise, it's awesome. I think it's cool that if every single team is represented in the stadium, with different jerseys, and people are yelling and screaming," Saleh said.

    "I kind of enjoy the moment, enjoy the opportunity. There's not that many jobs you get go perform in front of a different coach or a different country," defensive lineman Quinnen Williams said.

    "It's been a little weird a little bit. We got on the bus earlier today. I see they drive on different sides of the road here. I thought we were about to get in an accident as soon as we got on the bus. So that threw me off a little bit," cornerback Sauce Gardner said.

    Coverage of Sunday's Jets-Vikings game starts at 9 a.m. ET before the 9:30 a.m. kickoff. Fans in the New York City area can watch it all on CBS New York and stream on Paramount+ .

    Fans outside the New York City area can watch the game on NFL Network.
