### Aaron Rodgers Reaches Milestone Amid Challenges in London

Despite a rough game in London against the Vikings, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit a significant career milestone on Sunday. In the third quarter, with a pass to tight end Tyler Conklin, Rodgers crossed the 60,000 career passing yards mark. This achievement places him as the ninth player in NFL history to do so. However, shortly after Conklin's catch, the Jets had to punt.

Compounding the team's struggles, Rodgers appeared to sustain a left knee injury on a hit from Vikings' Jihad Ward during the next drive. Initially appearing worrisome, Rodgers was able to return to the game following a roughing the punter penalty against Thomas Morstead, showcasing his resilience. It is worth noting that Rodgers was already listed on the injury report for his knee earlier in the practice week.

On the defensive side, the Jets faced additional setbacks as cornerback Sauce Gardner exited to the locker room following a collision with linebacker Quincy Williams. This loss adds to the Jets' challenges as Gardner is a key player in the secondary.

As the action approached the late third quarter, the Vikings maintained a lead over the Jets, with the scoreboard showing 17-7. The game not only tested Rodgers' endurance and skill but also highlighted some of the hurdles the Jets need to overcome moving forward.
