New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings: Week 5 preview and predictions

The Minnesota Vikings will take on the New York Jets on Sunday morning in London, England. They have a chance to improve their record to 5-0 on the season going into a week six bye. If they win, they will be the second team in NFL history to win four international games and the first to go 4-0.

The game looks to be really interesting for the Vikings. They are facing a very familiar nemesis in Aaron Rodgers, and Sam Darnold will be facing the team that drafted him for the second time in his career.

The game in London will be interesting, especially since there were many Vikings fans in the 2022 game against the New Orleans Saints. Here is our preview and predictions.
