The Vikings’ last trip to London came early in their winning run of 2022, when they beat the New Orleans Saints 28-25 in arguably the most entertaining NFL game played in London to date.

They return against a Jets side hoping to make a long-awaited Super Bowl run having built a young, dynamic roster around veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

After his first season with the Jets was wiped out through injury, the four-time MVP has led the Jets to a 2-2 record so far.

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell told BBC Sport: “There’s nobody I respect more at that position. He’s maybe the purest thrower of a ball we’ve had, and yet so smart because of his ability to see the whole field. You better be prepared and do your job because if you don’t, he can make you look silly in a hurry.

“I know the excitement the Jets had. It’s great to see him healthy again. Playing against Aaron is going to be a huge challenge, but you’ve got to play well in all three phases against the Jets or you won’t have a chance.”
