The Minnesota Vikings held on to claim a 23-17 win in London and deny Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets a thrilling comeback victory.
The Vikings came into the game as one of just two unbeaten NFL teams – along with last season’s Super Bowl winners the Kansas City Chiefs.
And they gave Rodgers, the Jets quarterback, a torrid time as they charged into a 17-0 lead in front of 61,139 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Jets gave themselves hope right before half-time, before Rodgers threatened to lead the Jets back as the rain began to fall in north London.
The NFL’s four-time Most Valuable Player found Garrett Wilson for a touchdown to cut the score to 20-17 with six minutes left.
Minnesota added a field goal, giving the Jets just over three minutes to march up the field and claim a game-winning touchdown.
But with 49 seconds remaining and the Jets edging towards Minnesota’s endzone, Rodgers was intercepted for the third time in the game, allowing the Vikings to improve their record to 5-0 while the Jets dropped to 2-3.
