LONDON, UK — Mr. Pick-Six did it again.
For the second time this season, Minnesota Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel intercepted a pass for a touchdown to give the Minnesota Vikings an early 10-0 lead at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.
The pick-six came just three plays after the Vikings turned the ball over on a mishandled pitch by running back Ty Chandler, setting up the Jets on Minnesota's 42-yard line.
A short completion and an incomplete pass set up quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Jets for a third-and-6 that Van Ginkel got a hand on before taking it 63 yards into the end zone.
Van Ginkel took an interception for a touchdown earlier in the season against the New York Giants, making Sunday's score his second of the season. Entering Sunday's game, Van Ginkel had 18 total tackles, three sacks and that pick-six.
According to the Vikings, Van Ginkel is just the 10th player in team history to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same season, and the first to do so since Harrison Smith did it in 2012.
The Vikings took a 10-0 lead after the first quarter, giving them a 48-3 edge over opponents in the first frame this season.
