The Vikings will battle Aaron Rodgers and the Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Vikings will play the Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London during Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season, the league announced on Wednesday morning. The game will take place on October 6th, with the Vikings counting as the home team for the contest.
We've known for a while that Minnesota would be "hosting" a game across the pond this fall. Now we know the date and the opponent. This should be quite the matchup; Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are a team to watch this season after Rodgers' 2023 campaign ended just minutes into his debut with New York. If the 40-year-old former MVP can stay healthy, the Jets' offense will be much-improved this year.
To complement their veteran quarterback, the Jets signed offensive tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses this offseason, as well as wide receiver Mike Williams. They already had a dangerous duo of weapons with Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. Defensively, Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner are the stars of a deep, outstanding unit that finished third in DVOA last year.
It'll be fascinating to see who the Vikings' starting quarterback is when this Week 5 game in London rolls around. Will it be veteran Sam Darnold, who was signed to be the bridge option? Or will it be rookie J.J. McCarthy, who was drafted tenth overall out of Michigan a few weeks ago? Whoever is playing QB will be throwing to superstar Justin Jefferson, who had 147 receiving yards when the Vikings played the Saints in London two years ago.
The Vikings are 3-0 all-time when playing in London. They beat the Steelers in 2013, the Browns in 2017, and the Saints in 2022. They'll be playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the second time in three years. Because this counts as one of their nine home games, the Vikings essentially have eight true home games, eight road games, and the London contest.Thanks for reading.
