**LONDON, U.K.** — The NFL action on Sunday begins with the Minnesota Vikings aiming to maintain their strong start to the 2024 season as they take on the New York Jets in London.

It’s been a couple of years since these teams last played internationally. The Vikings, led by Kirk Cousins at the time, edged out the New Orleans Saints in London in 2022. Minnesota has won all three of its games played in London. In contrast, the Jets have only played twice in England, defeating the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium in 2015 but losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021.
The Vikings come into this matchup on a significant winning streak, bolstered by quarterback Sam Darnold’s strong performance, especially after rookie JJ McCarthy suffered a season-ending injury during the preseason. Darnold has thrown for 11 touchdowns in four games, contributing significantly to Minnesota’s undefeated record.
On the other hand, Aaron Rodgers will be looking to help the Jets bounce back after a disappointing showing against the Denver Broncos last Sunday, where they managed only nine points—marking the second time this season they have failed to score 20 or more.
This matchup marks the 13th encounter between these two franchises, with the Jets holding an 8-4 advantage overall, although the Vikings have won the last three meetings.
**Prediction:** Vikings win, 28-17.
