Jets' Rodgers leaves London 'banged up' with a sprained ankle and a tough loss to Vikings
London has not been good to Aaron Rodgers
LONDON (AP) — London has not been good to Aaron Rodgers.
The New York Jets quarterback has lost both times he has played there and heads home “banged up” again after throwing three interceptions in a 23-17 defeat against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
That's back-to-back losses for the Jets (2-3), who have more questions about the health of their 40-year-old quarterback. Rodgers said after the game he has a low ankle sprain. And that comes a week after dealing with a swollen knee.
“We’re playing below our potential. Too many mistakes,” Rodgers said. “We’re slow starters. Too many mental errors. Just too many mistakes in general. That’s hard to overcome, and then you know for me, I’ve got to take care of the football. Can’t turn the ball over three times and win in this league.”
