Will the Jets take revenge on Kirk Cousins and the Vikings, after the Cousins opted for Minnesota instead of the Free Mode Jets? They should not worry about this because Adam Thielen is the biggest receiver of the NFL. A huge test for secondary high school Jets.

The Jets continue their momentum after two consecutive victories, but they have defeated mediocre opponents. The Vikings have several notches above the Broncos and Colts. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will show exactly why the Jets wanted him as he led the Vikings to a victory on the road.

Kirk Cousins and the Vikings seem to have found their rhythm after winning two wins in a row. The Minnesota defense is one of the most physical in the league and could give Sam Darnold the right positions.

With the Rutgers and the Giants at the ground level, the Jets are the most winning football team in the region. But there is a big step between beating the Broncos / Colts and the Vikings, Super Bowl contenders. Sam Darnold is impressive but not there yet.
