To start this NFL International Series matchup at Twickenham Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings lost the coin toss for the first time in a while, meaning the Cleveland Browns got their choice this time. Cleveland chose to defer to the second half, meaning that the Vikings got the opportunity to have the football first. The kickoff from Zane Gonzalez went into the end zone for a touchback, giving Case Keenum and company the football at the 25 to start things off.
Minnesota got a first down on Stefon Diggs’ first catch in three weeks on their first third down of the afternoon.
