This will be a battle

As previously stated, this should be a low-scoring game where possessions are premium and mistakes are uncommon. This game could come down to who overcomes the most adversity over the course of the game.

Special teams could also be a major difference maker and the Minnesota Vikings have been good in that department aside from some inconsistent kicking issues that the purple and gold can’t afford to make this week.

Playing flag-free football will position one team a little better in what will likely be more of a grind than a shootout. Discipline not to hold on the offensive line or in the secondary will be a big test against a very underrated Jets team.

New York is a team with a lot of talented young players with the motivation to set themselves up for future success or big paydays. Do not sleep on this team. If the Minnesota Vikings don’t approach this game with 100 percent intensity, they will struggle mightily.
