Vikings Win 21-17 Over Browns in 2025 NFL London Opener

The Minnesota Vikings narrowly defeated the Cleveland Browns 21-17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London during Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season. A key moment came when Vikings kicker Will Reichard missed a 51-yard field goal after the ball hit the Skycam wires, a play that should have been replayed according to league rules but was missed by officials, though the Vikings still won the game. Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel made his NFL debut, finishing with 190 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers, but the Browns' long-standing streak of rookie QB losses continued at 0-17. The game featured notable plays such as a trick play touchdown from Vikings running back Cam Akers to tight end Josh Oliver, and a late game-winning touchdown pass from Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz to wide receiver Jordan Addison with 25 seconds remaining. Browns running back Quinshon Judkins also had a strong performance, achieving his first 100-yard rushing game and making franchise history with consistent yards from scrimmage in his first four games. Despite the loss, Cleveland showed promise with solid third-down defense and offensive production, though issues remained at left tackle with multiple penalties hampering their offensive drives.
