Dillon Gabriel delivered a poised NFL debut in London, throwing two touchdowns on 19-of-33 for 190 yards while avoiding turnovers, giving Cleveland a spark.

Yet the Browns stalled in the fourth quarter, managing just one first down on the final drive and failing to convert enough third downs. Minnesota’s late rally, led by Carson Wentz, produced an 80-yard march ending with Addison’s 12-yard TD with 25 seconds left.

The 1-4 Browns still show promise in the rookie but must clean up third-down execution. The team also faces the historical note of an 0-17 first-start streak, even as the run game produced season-high 140 rushing yards.

Minnesota’s London test left the Vikings with a clear backfield question after Jordan Mason left the field with a leg issue late in the third quarter, moments after scoring. Zavier Scott stepped in during Mason’s absence, while Cam Akers supplied punch with a Wildcat TD pass to Josh Oliver and CJ Ham filled multiple roles on third downs. Cleveland used Njoku’s third‑quarter TD to grab the lead, but Minnesota’s depth could shape the next few games as Mason’s status remains uncertain.

Fantasy managers should track Mason’s health and Scott’s workload, while Akers’ versatility keeps his fantasy ceiling high if Mason misses more time. Ham’s dependable pass‑blocking and third‑down usage add a floor, and Njoku remains a reliable target for Cleveland as the offense schemes around its trusted playmakers.

Overall, London exposed Minnesota’s depth but also highlighted upside for multiple players if Mason sits, with Akers and Scott serving as plausible Week 6 keepers or DFS plays depending on Mason’s status.

Vikings aim to rebound with three key trench battles shaping their London showdown with the Browns. Minnesota’s injury-riddled lineup must lean on disciplined protection and a run-pass balance to slow Cleveland’s relentless front. The battle lines: Darrisaw versus Garrett on the edge, the Vikings’ interior against Maliek Collins, and Jonathan Greenard pressuring Dillon Gabriel while Browns tackles try to slow the rush. A win would put Minnesota at 3-2 before the bye, while Cleveland looks to stabilize behind its rookie QB and a balanced attack.
