There have been 13 total games in the history of this series. But three games have been more exceptional than the rest. Here are the three games.
1. Jets vs. Vikings - October 6, 2024 -live from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England
This was a fun game in London, England. It started off strong for the Vikings, as they jumped out to a 10-0 lead, thanks to a 63-yard, pick-six by Andrew Van Ginkel. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets found themselves down 17-0, but slowly chipped away at the lead. Rodgers had a chance to win it in the final drive but threw an interception, ending any hope of a Jets' win.
2. Jets vs. Vikings - December 7, 2014
This game started out in the wildest way, as Gerald Hodges had a 27-yard pick-six just 12 seconds into the game. Shortly later, the Jets got a safety by sacking Teddy Bridgewater in the end zone. Percy Harvin gave the Jets their only lead with a touchdown on the next drive. Bridgewater threw a touchdown to Charles Johnson to retake the lead. Then, after a field goal, the Vikings recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. The Jets battled back with four field goals to force overtime, but lost on an 87-yard touchdown from Jarius Wright.
3. Jets vs. Vikings -December 2, 2022
The Jets had playoff aspirations as they headed into this game against an excellent Vikings team. Things took a turn in the second quarter as Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison both ran a touchdown into the end zone. While the Jets cut the deficit in the fourth quarter, they were unable to bridge the gap.
The Jets are not scheduled to face the Vikings this season. Barring a Super Bowl showdown or a similar finish in the standings, the teams will next meet in the 2028 season, likely at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The Jets won the first, all-time meeting against the Vikings on Sunday, November 29, 1970, beating them 20-10. The game was played at Shea Stadium in Queens, New York, which would be the home of the Jets until they moved to New Jersey.
The Jets currently lead the head-to-head series 8-5. Currently, the Vikings have won four games in a row in the series, but the Jets had previously won seven games in a row in the series, showing a rare dominance against an NFL team.
The Vikings were favored when the teams met last season, coming in as a 2.5-point favorite. If the teams were to meet again, the line might change, depending on how much these teams improve this season, and which team shows more progress.
