    New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) reacts after throwing an interception against the Minnesota Vikings in the first half at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    The Minnesota Vikings offense did not bring its "A" game on Sunday in London.

    Fortunately for them, their defense did in a 23-17 win over the New York Jets.

    The Vikings intercepted Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers three times, including a game-changing pick-six from Andrew Van Ginkel in the first half.

    The third of those interceptions came late in the fourth quarter with the Jets driving for a potential game-winning score when Stephon Gilmore picked off Rodgers on a pass down the sidelines.

    The Vikings offense accounted for just 253 yards and scored only one touchdown in the game, easily one of its worst showings of the season. Quarterback Sam Darnold also had a tough day after an outstanding start to the season.

    No matter how the Vikings got the win, they are still on top of the NFC with a 5-0 record. If nothing else, this should be an encouraging win because it should show they are capable of winning games in a lot of different ways.

    Darnold and the offense have contributed a lot this season. On Sunday, though, it was the defense that won the day.
