The Minnesota Vikings held on to stay undefeated against the Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets in London. Join Luke Inman, Luke Braun, Sam Ekstrom and Ron Johnson for the instant reaction immediately following the game.

Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed are the best cornerback duo in the NFL. It's hard to argue otherwise. But Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the NFL. So it's time to see the marquee matchup - OR IS IT?!?!?!?!?!?!
