Close<\/a>NFL Nation is made up of 32 team-specific reporters who cover the NFL year-round across ESPN.com, ESPN television shows, ESPN Radio, ESPN+ and social media platforms. It was established ahead of the 2013 season.<\/p>\n Sunday’s NFL Week 5 action<\/a> kicked off early in London, with the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> facing the Cleveland Browns<\/a> at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league’s second international game of 2025.<\/p>\n The Vikings (2-2), who dropped a 24-21 game<\/a> to the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in Dublin last week, spent this past week in London sorting through options for an injury-ravaged offensive line. Minnesota placed center Ryan Kelly<\/a> on injured reserve Saturday, meaning he will miss at least four games<\/a> after suffering two concussions in the first month of the season. The decision is a long-term blow for an offensive line that will be missing a total of three starters for Sunday’s game against the Browns.<\/p>\n The Browns (1-3) are turning to rookie QB Dillon Gabriel<\/a> in hopes of jump-starting the league’s second-lowest-scoring offense (14 points per game). Gabriel’s first start comes in a bit of an unusual spot — he will become the first quarterback to make his first start in an international game — but Cleveland believes the third-round pick has prepared well for the moment.<\/p>\n
