The Jets brought their baggage to London but couldn't leave the bad injury luck back home.
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was injured in the third quarter of the New York-Minnesota London matchup and exited the field briefly after taking an awkward hit. Rodgers seemed to injure his left leg, which was folded up underneath his body on the hit by a Vikings defender.
Rodgers would finish out the game vs. Minnesota, but the Jets would go on to lose, partially thanks to Rodgers' three interceptions on the day. The final interception, thrown to Vikings cornerback Stephon Gilmore, turned out to be the game-sealing one.
By his own admission, Rodgers entered the Week 5 matchup slightly banged up. Unfortunately for the passer, that trend seemed to continue in London.

Rodgers headed for the blue medical tent but reversed course and ended up back on the field after a roughing the kicker penalty extended the Jets drive.
Rodgers looked hobbled following his return but still was able to orchestrate a scoring drive for the Jets, which ended in a field goal.
