vike daddy Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 New York ranks fifth in points allowed and is even stingier giving up yardage -- its 256.5 allowed per game ranks second in the NFL. Minnesota is one notch better holding teams off the scoreboard despite surrendering the 23rd-most yards, a weakness fortified by producing 10 turnovers through four games, good for second-most. Where the two game-changing units differ most comes between the run and pass game. While the Jets rank second in passing defense and have allowed 61 or fewer passing yards in two straight, the Vikings rank second in rushing defense and give up an average of 75 rushing yards per game. As previously mentioned, though, you can take to the air against Minnesota, just as opponents have proven able to gash the 20th-ranked Jets on the ground. It will be particularly interesting if Sam Darnold and Co. jump out to a lead like they have every game this season. Such a game script would see Vikings running back Aaron Jones milking clock against a vulnerable run defense and Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers chasing points against an even more susceptible pass D. https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-season-week-5-three-things-to-watch-for-jets-vikings-london-nfl-network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb_K Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Big 3rd and 6! The Viking snap the ball quickly, to make sure the measurement doresn't prove them short! Darnold lost 12 yards on that great sack by The Jets. But Reichard hits the FG, anyway! Vikings strike first! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
