To get things started at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the New York Jets won the coin toss and deferred to the second half, giving the Minnesota Vikings the first opportunity with the football in their Week 7 contest. With Mike Hughes’ season coming to an end last week, fellow rookie Holton Hill took the opening kickoff from Jason Myers and returned it to the 27-yard line.
Latavius Murray got the ball on the first play of the game and picked up a nice 12-yard gain, and a penalty on the Jets for a personal foul moved the ball into Jets’ territory at the 46.
