Minnesota Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel is just so good at finding his way into open spaces that opposing quarterbacks don’t expect. On Sunday in London, Van Ginkel came off the line, intercepted New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and picked up 63 yards for the first touchdown of the game, giving the Vikings a 10-0 lead.

It was Rodgers’ fifth pick in his 20-year career.

Van Ginkel now has four career interceptions, and he has returned three for touchdowns. In Week 1, he intercepted New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and took him back 10 yards for a touchdown.

Van Ginkel was a fifth-round pick of the Miami Dolphins in 2019, when Brian Flores was the team’s head coach. Flores, now the Vikings’ defensive coordinator, pushed general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to sign Van Ginkel in free agency this spring and immediately put him to work.

The Vikings followed with an interception on the Jets’ ensuing possession, this one from safety Cam Bynum. According to ESPN Research, it was the first time Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions in the first quarter of his career.
