Overview

  • Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
  • The Browns named third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel the starter after a 34-10 loss and a 14-points-per-game start, and he becomes the first NFL quarterback to make his first start outside the United States.
  • Minnesota remains without J. J. McCarthy, with Carson Wentz starting again, and tackle Brian O’Neill is inactive as center Ryan Kelly’s move to injured reserve leaves three O-line starters out.
  • Sportsbooks list the Vikings as modest favorites (roughly -3.5 to -4.5) with a low total near 36 to 36.5 points.
  • After playing in Dublin last week, the Vikings carry a 4-0 all-time mark in London while facing a Browns defense graded No. 1 overall and in pass rush by PFF.
