EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Resiliency has become rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s greatest asset.

In his 10th start Sunday, Bridgewater posted the fourth victory in which he has led the Vikings from behind in the fourth quarter or overtime. His 87-yard touchdown pass to Jarius Wright beat the Jets 30-24 in overtime at TCF Bank Stadium.

“I just saw the (defensive) look and got us into the right play,” said Bridgewater, who is 5-5 as a starter.

The actual throw was nothing to speak of. Bridgewater simply turned and threw a receiver screen pass down the line of scrimmage. But Bridgewater’s recognition of an all-out blitz and the alert check into a backup play is what impressed Jets coach Rex Ryan.

“That was my call on the third down,” Ryan said. “Just trying to get off the field on a coverage zero (blitz). (Bridgewater) hadn’t hit anything against it all day.”

But that’s Bridgewater. He doesn’t carry the bad plays with him throughout the game. He cuts them loose, which is a great trait to have as a rookie.

Physically, Bridgewater took some hard hits but stood firm while posting a 117.7 passer rating with 309 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half.

“He is a tough kid now, a tough kid,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “He got racked a couple of times today and hung in there. He made a lot of great decisions and then he made some great throws.

“The thing the veterans really respect and appreciate about Teddy is the way he prepares, the way he studies, the way he cares about his job, and I think the way he loves playing this game. He practices to be perfect in the games as well.”

Before Sunday’s game, Ryan was 8-1 as a head coach against rookie quarterbacks. The only other rookie quarterback to beat Ryan was Russell Wilson in 2012.

“I think when Teddy decides to be the leader of this football team … this franchise is Teddy’s,” Zimmer said. “I know that was a good headline for you. That’s what he needs to do; he needs to take it over. This is his team now.”

NOTES: LB Gerald Hodges set the franchise record for fastest defensive score when he returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown just 12 seconds into the win over the Jets. … LG Charlie Johnson left the game because of a right ankle sprain in the second half. X-rays showed no breaks but Johnson left the locker room on crutches and with his foot in a walking boot. … SS Robert Blanton injured his left leg making a tackle in overtime and left the field for the final four defensive snaps. … LB Anthony Barr (knee) missed a game for the first time.

REPORT CARD VS. JETS

–PASSING OFFENSE: A — For the Vikings and a rookie quarterback, this is about as good as it was going to get. Teddy Bridgewater posted a 117.7 passer rating with 309 yards while two receivers — Jarius Wright (123) and Charles Johnson (103) — topped 100 yards. Wright’s 87-yard touchdown to win the game in overtime came on a screen pass that Bridgewater checked into. Jets coach Rex Ryan called a cover zero blitz on third-and-5 because Bridgewater hadn’t handled them well all game. But the Jets tipped their hand a little too soon and then missed a tackle. Bridgewater became only the second rookie quarterback in 10 tries to beat Ryan as a head coach. The only other one was Seattle’s Russell Wilson in 2012.

–RUSHING OFFENSE: C — The team was able to maintain balance with 28 runs and 27 passes. But there remains no explosion from the running backs. Wright, the receiver, had a 23-yard run on an end around. Other than that, the longest run was nine yards on the only carry by backup running back Joe Banyard. Starter Matt Asiata averaged 2.8 yards on 19 carries.

–PASS DEFENSE: B-plus — There were some breakdowns, including completions of 45 and 35 yards to Percy Harvin and a 29-yarder to Eric Decker at a critical point late in regulation. But you can’t go lower than B-plus when the opening snap featured a backup linebacker making possibly the most athletic and alert defensive play of the season. Gerald Hodges, who had to start in place of the injured Anthony Barr (knee), read slant left on the opening play. Sure enough, Geno Smith threw slant left to Harvin, who actually looked open when Smith let go of the ball. But Hodges moved to his right, leaped, snared the ball with his left hand, came down, spun to his right and ran untouched behind blockers down the right sideline for the fastest defensive score in franchise history. It also tied Harvin’s kick return in 2012 for the fastest score overall in franchise history. Smith was sacked three times, including once by Everson Griffen, who now has 12 sacks on the year. Griffen also forced the Jets to punt in overtime when he batted down a pass on third-and-6 in Vikings territory.

–RUSH DEFENSE: B — It wasn’t great, but considering what the Jets did to the Dolphins the previous Monday night, it was pretty good. The Jets averaged 4.0 yards while piling up 168 yards on 42 carries. But there were only two runs longer than 10 yards and none longer than 18. The Vikings also got a forced fumble from backup safety Andrew Sendejo that led to a takeaway inside the Vikings’ 5-yard line. It was Sendejo’s second snap after stepping in temporarily for an injured Harrison Smith.

–SPECIAL TEAMS: D — A week after blocking and returning two punts for touchdowns, the Vikings struggled on special teams. Kicker Blair Walsh missed a 39-yard field goal wide right and got terribly under a 56-yard attempt that barely made it to the goal line with seconds left in regulation. Meanwhile, the woes of Cordarrelle Patterson continues. Already benched as a receiver, Patterson also had trouble hanging onto the ball as a kick returner. His fumble on the opening kick of the second half led to the Jets kicking a field goal and closing within three points. The Vikings also gave up a 47-yard kickoff return to their 35-yard line after being forced to kick off from their 20 because of an unsportsmanlike penalty on left tackle Matt Kalil on the PAT.

–COACHING: C-plus — Let’s not get carried away. The Vikings reached six wins to surpass last year’s win total. That’s a significant milestone, especially when one considers that their best player, Adrian Peterson, has been gone since the opener. But the Vikings did have to go into overtime to beat a two-win Jets team that lay down two weeks ago in a 35-point loss to Buffalo in Detroit. The special teams also were uncharacteristically below average. But there were highlights as well. Bridgewater posted his fourth comeback win in the fourth quarter or overtime this season. And defensively, Hodges spotting the slant call on the first play of the game and moving into position for the interception was a credit to improved coaching the Vikings are receiving on that side of the ball.
