00:00The football day on Sunday started very early, 9.30 a.m. Eastern Time with our first London NFL

00:07contest of the year. The Vikings headed abroad with a perfect 4-0 record. Aaron Rodgers and

00:14Gane Green try to bounce back from a dismal defeat against the Denver Broncos a Sunday ago,

00:21losing outright at home, scoring 9 points as a 7.5-point favorite. So it had to be better

00:28in London, right? Nope. Aaron Rodgers throws three interceptions, including one that sealed

00:35the game with only 49 seconds remaining as New York was starting to drive into Minnesota

00:42territory, giving them an opportunity to maybe win the game. Aaron Rodgers shuts the door

00:48on his own team, and the Vikings remain perfect, undefeated at 5-0. They also cover as a 2.5-point

00:57favorite in London. They are 5-0 against the number. Now, they did lead 17-zip early in the

01:05opening half of the second consecutive week, a very big lead, 28-zip over Green Bay, allowing

01:11the games to at least become competitive at the end. But Minnesota holds on, 23-17, the win in

01:18London. Yeah, by the way, Justin Jefferson, six for 92, probably could have had, what,

01:22nine for 170 if they didn't tackle him every other play for pass interferences. But let's focus

01:28on the Jets, because that's what's important. Even though Minnesota Vikings now sit 5-0,

01:32they got out to that early lead, held on. Aaron Rodgers threw a pick-six, unacceptable at that

01:37point. Aaron Rodgers airmailed a pass over the middle for an interception. He also

01:46underthrew Mike Williams to end the game on an interception. And let's also remember this,

01:51a double move by Garrett Wilson on a walk-in touchdown to win that football game. He airmailed

01:56that as well. He was absolutely horrendous yesterday, and he has been this season. And that's

02:01the part when we start up the show in the 7-7, and I say to myself, all right, Aaron Rodgers,

02:05what are we getting here? Can you just be your old self, which is a top-five quarterback? Maybe

02:10we don't get that. Can you be just a top-15 quarterback, and the Jets can rely on that

02:16defense and win football games? And it feels like we are just back to the Jets don't have

02:20a quarterback. Boy, it's a shame because if they had a quarterback, they'd be able to lean on that

02:24defense and win football games. That's how bad Aaron Rodgers was yesterday. If Tyron Taylor

02:29plays, they'd probably win that football game. That loss, and don't give me, did you see the

02:33drop passes out there? Yes, that's part of football, drop passes. They're not turnovers

02:38here. They're not directly giving the other team seven points because you're a bad quarterback

02:43right now. And Aaron Rodgers at the podium, oh yeah, haven't done that before. Yeah, it looks

02:47like the Jets are careening off the road. Robert Sala, who knows if he's going to be the head coach

02:51all the way through the season, but does it even matter? This is Aaron Rodgers football team.

02:56He is the conductor. He is sitting there in the pilot's chair, and he's legitimately crashing

03:01this team. It's unbelievable this is happening.
