3. Mixed bag on special teams
Kicker Will Reichard delivered a wonderful international debut, starting the day’s scoring with a 54-yarder.
He was also true on two extra points, as well as field goals of 53 and 41 yards.
Punter Ryan Wright pinned the Jets deep in their own territory on a pair of punts, including one that Trent Sherfield, Sr., swatted to keep it from going in the end zone.
But the Vikings also had some struggles on punt returns and suffered a roughing the kicker penalty by Ivan Pace, Jr., that gave the Jets a fresh start after what would have been a punt on fourth-and-10.
New York took the second chance and turned it into a 32-yard field goal that shifted momentum toward the Jets midway through the third quarter.
