1. O’Connell has hidden weaknesses
Kevin O’Connell’s plan to protect a quarter -back rescue and an offensive line from Ragamuffin beaten from fat and high -level Cleveland was so good that the Vikings actually raised their record at 5-17 when they lose the turnover battle – two lost mergers, no dishes – since his arrival in Minnesota.
The 21-17 victory in London presented Carson Wentz to quickly unload the ball; The guards pulling in a way while the ball cards slipped in the other direction; Jalen Nailor Jet-Sweeping 15 Yards; And the best defender in the league, Myles Garrett, is defused with three plated and no game of splashes.
Wentz was dismissed three times, was standing apart from that and was only constrained slightly, with the exception of three fogs, one of which was very without opinion and almost released his left shoulder on a gain of 7 yards in third and 9 just before half-time. When you are doing the ball, Wentz finished six of the nine passes for 78 yards, including a deep ball of 32 yards which showed to the veteran QB what each of his predecessors learned before him: the 50-50 balls to Justin Jefferson promote the Vikings.
Another launch that faced a slight pressure came on the call of KO day: a hunting shot snot at a game of towers in Cam Akers which ended with the first pass of the ball carrier with 32 yards for a touchdown to Josh Oliver.
The other jewel of Ko launched the Défi flag – his first of the year – on what was judged by 17 yards by Jerry Jeudy in third and 13 with the score equally 7-7 at the end of the first half. The fourth drop in the year of Butterfinger Jerry of the year forced the brown to kick. O’Connell now has 13-9 in the challenges as a Vikings coach.
2. Hunt browns for sore eyes
Browns coach and former Vikings offensive coordinator, Kevin Stefanski, also had a good plan to help his rescue quarter – La Recruue Dillon Gabriel, who made his debut from the NFL – and a fifth offensive line of different starting in five games.
Gabriel was not the problem. He released the ball quickly, was only dismissed twice, was struck or overturned only two other times, did not return the ball and rolled a racing match which stacked 140 yards in 32 races (4.4 yards per postponement). When the Browns made 69 yards in 13 games, nine of which run, to take an advance from 17-14 to the third quarter, it was Gabriel who finished an 18 yards on a quick counter-boot and put on a 9 yards pass in three defenders at David Njoku in third goal. When you’re in the ball, Gabriel finished five of the 11 passes for 49 yards and a touch on a surprise call to the second goal of 1.
