• Matchup: Minnesota Vikings (2–2) vs Cleveland Browns (1–3)

How to Watch/Listen

• TV: NFL Network

Context & storylines

• This is part of the NFL International Series in London. The Vikings arrive after a loss to the Steelers in Dublin; the Browns seek a spark after a quarterback change.

Personnel / injuries

• Vikings (final report): Six players OUT — QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle), OLB Andrew Van Ginkel (neck), G Donovan Jackson (wrist), C Ryan Kelly (concussion), C Michael Jurgens (hamstring), T Brian O’Neill (knee); TE Ben Yurosek, OLB Tyler Batty, FB C.J. Ham are questionable.

Tactical hotspots

1) Protecting Carson Wentz vs Myles Garrett

With three key OL pieces ruled out, Minnesota must keep the pocket clean to unlock intermediate/deep concepts for Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Blake Brandel may be forced into duty at center amid the injuries.

2) Rookie Dillon Gabriel vs Brian Flores’ pressure packages

In his first start, Gabriel faces DC Brian Flores’ multilayered blitz menu. Cleveland needs run-game rhythm and play-action to slow the rush and simplify reads for the rookie.

3) Outside matchups: Jefferson/Addison vs a thinned Browns secondary

If Greg Newsome II can’t go, Cleveland will lean on recently elevated corners. That creates opportunities for Minnesota to dial up shot plays outside the numbers, especially with Wentz surpassing 500 passing yards over his last two outings.

4) Field, elements, and special teams

Tottenham can produce shifting low-level winds; field position and punt/kick quality could be decisive in what projects as a lower-scoring game.

Keys to victory

• Vikings: (i) Limit direct pressure on Wentz (≤2 sacks); (ii) exploit one-on-ones for Jefferson/Addison; (iii) keep turnovers ≤1.

Line & prediction

• Current line: Vikings -3.5, O/U ~36–36.5 (varies by book).
