The NFL's international series continues this week as the league heads back to London.
After playing its first game overseas in 2007, the NFL has made London games a staple on the schedule every year. This season, the London slate opens with a battle between the Minnesota Vikings and the Cleveland Browns, two teams looking to ride their strong defenses.
The story of this game, though, is Dillon Gabriel, as the rookie is set to make his first NFL start. Gabriel, who was a third-round pick in the spring out of October, has appeared in a few games in relief of Joe Flacco, but now takes over for the veteran for the first time this year.
Cleveland also has a strong defense that is hoping to get a boost from the quarterback change. Star pass rusher Myles Garrett leads the way, as the Browns' offensive struggles have made it tough on Cleveland's defense so far this year.
The Vikings, meanwhile, are coming off a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland last week, but they remained overseas to play back-to-back games in Europe. Minnesota enters this game at 2-2 but is currently dealing with quarterback issues, as Carson Wentz will start his third straight game.
Wentz won his first start in Minnesota but had a tough time last week against Pittsburgh. However, the Vikings’ defense remains one of the best in the league, as Brian Flores leads another unit that is sure to confuse its opponent.
