Vikings cling on after Rodgers fails to deliver

We have seen this movie before. Aaron Rodgers with the ball in his hand, the crowd and the elements against him, ready to play the last action hero again. This time, though, there was a brutal twist.

When Rodgers hobbled on to the pitch with three minutes remaining, his New York Jets side were 23-17 down. But, having mustered 32 game-winning drives during his long and storied career, this was hardly unknown territory.

Steadily he advanced Jets down the field until they were within sniffing distance of the endzone. Perhaps the old Rodgers would have found one more moment of magic. But old Rodgers, who turns 41 in December, couldn't deliver.

First he overthrew his star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Then, with nine seconds remaining, his pass was intercepted by Stephon Gilmore allowing the Vikings to cling on.

"I just underthrew it a little," admitted Rodgers, who also confirmed that he had sustained a low ankle sprain after being sacked earlier in the game. "I'm definitely banged up. I got my foot caught up in the pile there."

Quite what this draw does for Erik ten Hag is unknown but it may just spare him the indignity of what seemed an inevitability had Manchester United slumped to a dam-aging defeat at Aston Villa. Maybe.
