Jets QB Aaron Rodgers suffers injury scare vs. Vikings
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers had an injury scare during the third quarter of the team's Week 5 matchup against the Vikings in London on Sunday.
Rodgers suffered the injury to the same leg as his Achilles injury from last season.
The play occurred on third down, so Rodgers immediately headed towards the sidelines. However, the Vikings were called for unnecessary roughness after roughing the punter, which led to a 15-yard penalty and a first down.
Rodgers was about to go into the blue medical tent, but instead marched right back out onto the field. He looked a little gingerly on a couple of handoffs, but eventually found his groove. Rogers led the Jets offense down the field deep into the red zone and nearly connected on a touchdown pass to Allen Lazard. Instead, the Jets had to settle for a field goal to bring the game back to a one-score difference.
The broadcast later confirmed that Rodgers went into the blue medical tent during a commercial break. Rodgers was reportedly deemed to be okay, because he came back into the game for the team's next offensive drive.
Jets attempting second-half comeback against Vikings in London
At one point, the Jets were down 17-0 against the Vikings and looked like they had no chance at winning.
After Rodgers' impressive post-injury drive, the Jets are only down 17-10 with almost a full quarter of football left to play.
However, the Jets are short-handed on defense. Cornerback Sauce Gardner left the game early with a head injury and has missed most of the second half.
New York will need to continue their smothering defensive effort if they want to give Rodgers a chance to tie the game. Or give the Jets a lead.
