Half-Time Report: Minnesota Vikings in control against New York Jets

The Minnesota Vikings have headed into half time with a 21-15 lead over the New York Jets in their NFL game this evening.

The Jets made a bad start when Geno Smith threw an interception on the opening play of the game, leaving Gerald Hodges to run it back for a Vikings touchdown.

The New York defense responded quickly though, sacking Teddy Bridgewater inside the endzone to give the visitors a safety, before Smith targeted former Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin for a 35-yard touchdown to put the AFC East side ahead.

Bridgewater soon put the Vikings back in front though, completing a 56-yard touchdown pass to Charles Johnson, before a second attempt to find the wide receiver was fumbled by Johnson but recovered in the endzone by Jerome Felton for a touchdown.

Kicker Nick Folk added a field goal for the visitors before half time to keep New York in contention, leaving his side six points down at the break.
