We are five weeks into the 2024 NFL season, and that means it’s time for some early-morning football in America.
First up in the “London Games” segment of the NFL’s International Series is an intriguing battle between the undefeated Minnesota Vikings and the 2-2 New York Jets. There are some interesting storylines in this one. One of them involves Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, who is taking on the team that drafted him third overall back in 2018, only to give up on him after three years and watch him flourish in Minny this season.
And on the other side of the ball, there’s Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is facing off against a Vikings team who he’s very familiar with from his time in Green Bay.
It’s one of the better international games we’ll be treated to this season, but there’s still one big issue that fans can’t seem to get over: The Broadcast crew of Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner.
While many love Eisen on his podcast or when he’s in the studio hosting NFL Gameday Mornings on the NFL Network, they’re clearly not too fond of his skills in the broadcast booth.

Vikings-Jets London Game Has Plenty Of Early-Season Implications
While it’s still very early in the season, there’s a lot riding on today’s game between the Jets and Vikings.
For the Jets, they’ll be looking to bounce back following their ugly loss to the Broncos. After that game, there was plenty of talk in the media about the fractured relationship between Aaron Rodgers and Jets head coach Robert Saleh. If there is anything going on between those two, another loss certainly won’t help them mend things.
As for the Vikings, they’re looking to keep their undefeated record in tact. Piling up these wins now could prove to be huge come January, especially if it results in a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
