Rodgers suffers 'low ankle sprain'

Aaron Rodgers was banged up again today, and admitted after the game that he's picked up an injury.

“I’m definitely banged up, got my foot caught in the tackle there…it’s a low ankle sprain," said Rodgers.

That could potentially be bad news for the New York Jets as they face another tough test against the Buffalo Bills next week.

Get Involved - Are the Jets good enough?

Aaron Rodgers is 2-3 after five games, which is not quite what he would have hoped for in his return from injury with a roster stacked with elite talent on both sides of the ball.

One defeat came at the San Francisco 49ers on opening weekend, one came here against the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings with the real bad one being the home loss to the Denver Broncos last week.

They had some good moment today but overall the Vikings were a step ahead - so does this Jets squad have enough in it to give Rodgers a fairytale Super Bowl run?

Thumbs time...

Vikings lap of honour

Some Vikings players have come back out onto the field to celebrate, Camryn Bynum and Akayleb Evans among them, and they're doing a lap of honour with still plenty of purple shirts still left in the crowd.

They group dance about in midfield, take a celebratory phot and then bounce around celebrating with the fans before finally disappearing back inside the stadium again.

Fair to say they enjoyed that one.

Defence wins championships

The Minnesota Vikings once had such a fearsome defence they were known as the 'Purple People Eaters' - well, this defence is not there yet, but they're pretty good.

They restricted Aaron Rodgers to 244 yards passing, intercepted him three times including for just the fifth pick six of his career.

Rodgers was hit seven times and definitely struggled, and crucially, just when he was looking to win it, that decisive interception sealed the game.

They say defence wins championships, and Minnesota seem to have one that could well do the job.
