Wow Vikings got screwed

Wow Vikings got screwed

It is actually a "home" game for the Browns
At first I wrote "at" Cleveland, but that made no sense - it is in London.

Not sure if this is factual, but this may be the first time an NFL team played consecutive games overseas.
Part of the longterm experiment by 345 Park Avenue to expand their corporation and develop franchises in Europe.

The Jags did it last year

Vikings had a nice drive on their first possession before fumbling it away.

9 yards - 5 yards - 9 yards - 11 yards.

Judkins running the ball very well for Cleveland.

Gabriel with his first NFL TD pass.

I forgot there was a game this morning... Football work is never done...

RB Cam Akers with direct snap & 32-yard TD pass!

that was a nice play

 

[KCSVEN]

Didn’t realize Gabriel was so small. Looks like a high schooler vs men out there.

 

[Pape]

cleveland T with a bad jump there

 

[DC Patriots]

Browns would be an interesting team if they had a QB

 

[DC Patriots]

Nice conversion

 

[Pape]

he trapped that int

So if Carson Wentz can't go, we may see the Magnificent Max Brosmer at QB in the second half.

Must See TV!

They can’t stop the run, not much coach can do if you get run down your throat over and over

On the other side Cleveland has a legit defense, might be one of the better ones in the NFL

 

[KCSVEN]

Justin Jefferson is something special, I dream of a guy like that paired with Drake one day, Id say the odds are slim something like that ever happens, but then Randy Moss ended up paired with Tom Brady, so you never know

 

[DaBruinz]

So, Baltimore is without QB Lamar Jackson today. Their Back-up is Cooper Rush. However, I don't see another QB on their Roster or PS. Do they really not have a QB to dress behind Rush?
