Andrew Van Ginkel's interception and touchdown helped the Minnesota Vikings secure a 23-17 victory over the New York Jets, showcasing the effectiveness of defensive coordinator Brian Flores' strategies. The Vikings, now one of only two undefeated teams, have thrived thanks to a successful free-agent strategy led by general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and coach Kevin O’Connell.

With several key acquisitions, including Van Ginkel and others, the Vikings have transformed their defense, ranking among the best in the league. The team's culture emphasizes joy and camaraderie, contributing to their surprising success this season.
