Vikings vs. Jets: London showdown preview

London Showdown

The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings are set to face off in the NFL’s first international game of the 2023 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET, which translates to 8:30 a.m. CT for Vikings fans in Minnesota. This Week 5 matchup will be broadcast nationally on NFL Network, with local coverage available on CBS 2 (WCBS) in New York and NBC 11 (KARE) in Minneapolis.

For fans without cable or satellite TV, streaming options include Sling TV Blue, YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream, with prices ranging from $40 to $95 per month. The Vikings, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, have jumped out to a surprising 4-0 start this season. Darnold, originally drafted by the Jets, has found success in Minnesota, leading the league in passing touchdowns.

The Jets, now with veteran Aaron Rodgers under center, are looking to bounce back from a 2-2 start and find consistency. Minnesota’s defense has also been impressive, with 10 takeaways so far, the second-most in the league.

Jets, Vikings clash in London

Defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ unit also blitzes at the second-highest rate (41.5%) in the NFL this season.

The Jets’ offense is still a work in progress, but their defense has been stout, allowing just four touchdowns on 11 red zone trips by opponents. Even if the Vikings reach the red zone, scoring a touchdown is no guarantee.

This international clash is just one of the many exciting storylines in Week 5. Other key matchups include the Baltimore Ravens facing the Cincinnati Bengals in an AFC North showdown, the Buffalo Bills looking to bounce back against the Houston Texans, and the Pittsburgh Steelers aiming to rebound against the Dallas Cowboys. As the Vikings and Jets prepare to take the field in London, fans can expect an exciting game between two teams with contrasting starts to the season.

Will the Vikings remain undefeated, or will the Jets hand them their first loss? Tune in to find out.
