Browns Endure Fourth Loss, Myles Garrett Confident in Recovery

The Cleveland Browns suffered a narrow 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, dropping their record to 1-4, with Myles Garrett delivering a subdued performance compared to his usual dominance. Despite a strong defensive effort limiting the Vikings to 349 total yards, the Browns failed to stop a late touchdown that sealed the game, highlighting issues in late-game execution and overall game management. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel showed promise in his first NFL start, completing 19 of 33 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns, and the offense avoided turnovers, but struggled to capitalize in clutch moments. Garrett remains confident in the team’s ability to recover, emphasizing focus on the next opponent rather than dwelling on past losses. The Browns’ defense, led by Garrett and standout rookie linebacker Carson Schwesinger, maintained a solid front yet couldn’t hold on in critical moments, while frustration with offensive third-down conversions and penalties persisted. The team now looks ahead to a divisional matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, hoping to turn their season around under mounting pressure on the coaching staff.
