Aaron Rodgers criticized by Jets fans for 3 INT as Vikings’ Darnold wins revenge game | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

The last turnover sealed the victory for the Vikings. On a 3rd-and-10 at the Vikings’ 26-yard line in the final minute, Rodgers and wide receiver Mike Williams were not on the same page and resulted in an interception by Minnesota cornerback Stephon Gilmore.

Once again, New York’s offense was unable to capitalize on the strong performance of its defense. The Jets held the Vikings to 253 yards rushing and did not allow the Minnesota offense to reach the end zone.

The blame for the team’s start goes beyond Rodgers. However, the franchise acquired the four-time MVP hoping he would be the missing piece, and he simply doesn’t look like a quarterback who can take New York to the promised land.

Sam Darnold performed even worse than Rodgers in terms of overall performance. He threw for 179 yards and one interception on 31 attempts. Still, it will feel good for the Vikings quarterback to give his old team a leg up.

One concern for Minnesota is that the Darnold renaissance may be over because this is the player fans have seen for much of his career, not the one who started 2024 so strongly.

It’s still too early to say that the Jets have a must-win game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6, but the odds are pretty close. If New York goes bankrupt, the fear of fans in the Big Apple will reach its peak.

The Vikings can at least regroup before facing a division opponent. Minnesota has next week off and hosts the Detroit Lions in Week 7. Head coach Kevin O’Connell and his staff may spend much of their free time evaluating Darnold and figuring out how he can re-emphasize his strengths.
