THE UNBEATEN MINNESOTA Vikings, the surprise package of the NFL season, held on for a fifth straight win with a nail-biting 23-17 victory over the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Rodgers led a 10-play drive as New York searched for a touchdown to win the contest but on 3rd & 10, the Jets quarterback’s attempted pass to Mike Williams was picked off by Stephon Gilmore. C.J. Ham then ran in from two yards but the Jets gave themselves some hope with Rodgers moving out of the pocket and finding Allen Lazard at the back of the end-zone to make it 17-7 at the half. The Jets trailed 20-10 midway through the fourth quarter before Rodgers found Garrett Wilson with a one-yard pass and when the Vikings could only manage a field goal in response, the outcome was in Rodgers’ hands.
Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson, who had 92 yards on six receptions but was well handled by the Jets defense, said it had been a frustrating day for the offense.
