The Cleveland Browns are 0-7 on the season with no relief in sight, and they’ll “host” the Minnesota Vikings in yet another London game on Sunday. The game will begin at 9:30 a.m. ET and will be broadcast by the NFL Network in the United States.

The Browns came very close to earning a win in their last outing, but ultimately fell to the Tennessee Titans, 12-9. They have a revolving door at quarterback, with all of DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan and Cody Kessler getting an opportunity to start at various points.
Cleveland quarterbacks have completed 54.6 percent of their passes for 1,603 yards, seven touchdowns and a massive 17 interceptions. Meanwhile, their opponents have managed a completion percentage of 70.0, 1,647 yards, 14 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
Things are bleak.
For the Vikings, things have looked bleak several times this season, but they still manage to have a 5-2 record. Injuries have been a huge factor, and continue to be on both sides of the ball. But they have won their last three games, including two over NFC North rivals.
The Vikings have been good at protecting the ball more than anything — they have just two interceptions on offense while they have picked off opponents seven times. The rushing game has really been a strength, though, coupled with a strong run defense.
Minnesota has rushed for 872 yards and six touchdowns, though its rushing leader, Dalvin Cook, is on injured reserve. Still, it has out-gained its opponents by more than 300 yards on the ground.
Below is all you need to know to watch Sunday’s game, as well as news, odds, prediction, and more.

Vikings vs. Browns news:
- The Browns will be without Myles Garrett on Sunday. He didn’t travel with the team due to a concussion and did not participate in practice all week. He’s already one of their best players, so his absence will be felt.
- Cleveland is going with Spencer Drango at left tackle, and if you don’t know who that is, you’re not alone. He’ll be up against Everson Griffen on Sunday, and Griffen isn’t particularly worried, calling out Drango as being too slow to be playing tackle in the NFL.
- There are a lot of positives for the NFL when it comes to playing in London, but it can often be hard on the players. Browns receiver Kenny Britt, in particular, is not a fan at all.
“I hated London, hated it. I hated it with a passion,” said Britt, who then elaborated, “I hated everything about it. I hated the flight. I hated us being there so long. I hated the flight back. I hated the food. You can ask my wife the same thing, and she’ll give you the same answer.” When pressed to provide anything he enjoyed about his previous trip, Britt only answered with, “Nothing.”
- Interestingly, the Browns and Vikings took different approaches when it comes to traveling to London. The Browns took a later flight, while the Vikings opted to arrive sooner and binge some sleep on the flight.
- It will be interesting to see if the Vikings try and sneak Teddy Bridgewater onto the active roster and onto the field. They have been very silent about their plans with him. He has yet to play this season.
- Of course, the Vikings maintain that Case Keenum will be starter for Sunday’s game. Sam Bradford did make the trip to London with the team, however.
