Restored into the Vikings’ lineup following a two-week injury, Ivan Pace Jr. needed only the game’s opening play to reintroduce himself into the tackling column; as the morning’s game would confirm, the second-year linebacker was merely just beginning. With his team’s once-commanding 17-0 edge becoming a thing of the past, Pace gets Minnesota back on track, fittingly by knocking New York’s lineman off-track with an elusive left-right fake before leveraging his way into a timely fourth quarter sack. An always-key component in Minnesota’s creative, blitz-heavy packages, Pace helped spark a 23-17 win over the Jets on Oct, 6, 2024, contributing six tackles (two for a loss), two QB hits, and one sack.
