NFL Live: Minnesota Vikings v Cleveland Browns

0:00:09 > 0:00:14It will be time for these two teams to settle it.He's going towards the

0:00:14 > 0:00:24end zone.Montana throws!He's looking downfield.A one-man

0:00:24 > 0:00:35wrecking crew!How did he do that? Unstoppable!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Good afternoon from Twickenham where the NFL rolls into town for the

0:00:42 > 0:00:45fourth and final time this season and the race for the playoffs

0:00:45 > 0:00:53intensifies. Today the Cleveland Browns play an impressive Minnesota

0:00:53 > 0:00:58Vikings looking good and dreaming big, an appearance at Super Bowl LII

0:00:58 > 0:01:01in front of their adoring hometown fans.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53So two teams with contrasting fortunes of the season Square after

0:01:53 > 0:01:58they took on and joining me to break it all down, the dream team, Jason

0:01:58 > 0:02:03Bell, two-time Super Bowl winner and the writer and broadcaster Mike

0:02:03 > 0:02:10Carson. If Minnesota wind as they move to six wins and two losses,

0:02:10 > 0:02:14borrowed the better records.Are they serious contenders? Yes,

0:02:14 > 0:02:19they've gotten far but basically back-up quarterback in. With Case

0:02:19 > 0:02:24Keenum, they got a great defense, good head coach who was defensively

0:02:24 > 0:02:30minded and Green Bay do not have Rogers.Big-time. It seems one-sided

0:02:30 > 0:02:36on paper but so many times this season a result of seeing that we

0:02:36 > 0:02:39are surprised.Hopefully we will be surprised today because we need is a

0:02:39 > 0:02:43good game in England. The last couple of games have not been great.

0:02:43 > 0:02:50Diplomatically put. Jason, in any sport, the NFL are so tough

0:02:50 > 0:02:53mentally. How do the Browns get themselves up for a game like this?

0:02:53 > 0:02:59They aren't professionals, leaders in the locker room will have to do

0:02:59 > 0:03:03say to the left put our best performance out on the field.This

0:03:03 > 0:03:07has been a tough division to win recently took as you are up against

0:03:07 > 0:03:11the Green Bay Packers, one of the great quarterbacks, Rogers, but he

0:03:11 > 0:03:17is injured. They are top of the standings. They are on a rest week

0:03:17 > 0:03:22this week. With the erratic in Detroit Lions have a tough game this

0:03:22 > 0:03:30weekend. The Chicago Bears are in a rebuilding project right now.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Minnesota arrived in London on Thursday morning and got straight

0:03:32 > 0:03:40into it, practising the same day and the following day, we caught up with

0:03:40 > 0:03:46their tight end Kyle Rudolph.The Vikings won three consecutive games

0:03:46 > 0:03:57and remain kings of the North.How are you?I can't complain. This is

0:03:57 > 0:04:05your third time over here?I think it's awesome. There's obviously a

0:04:05 > 0:04:09desire in this market force of the fans are hungry for American

0:04:09 > 0:04:14football. This year, we sold at four games. Last time we played the

0:04:14 > 0:04:20Steelers in 2013, the only game that year.Adrian is inside the 30. Ten.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Touchdown!

0:04:26 > 0:04:31Tell me about the Vikings season so far because you're surprised a lot

0:04:31 > 0:04:35of people. The quarterback got hurt. Nobody thought you would be as good

0:04:35 > 0:04:40as you are.I think going through the adversity we faced last year,

0:04:40 > 0:04:46injuries, what we have gone through for seven weeks, young guys are

0:04:46 > 0:04:50stepping up playing huge role for us, so it has been good. Obviously,

0:04:50 > 0:04:54we want to be at full strength, but guys who are playing are playing

0:04:54 > 0:04:59well.What about Case Keenum, he has really surprised a lot of people

0:04:59 > 0:05:03were the way he has played.It is rare for your starting quarterback

0:05:03 > 0:05:07to play every week, so when you have a guide in the back role, they have

0:05:07 > 0:05:12to do is prepare to start every week. They don't know when they will

0:05:12 > 0:05:17have an opportunity. We need them to step up. Case has come off the bench

0:05:17 > 0:05:26winning games for us. He has been a huge player for us.There's been an

0:05:26 > 0:05:31injury to Aaron Rodgers, the best quarterback in the NFL right now. No

0:05:31 > 0:05:36one wants to see anybody get hurt. Do you think your path to the

0:05:36 > 0:05:40playoffs has become easier? Obviously, the Packers are always

0:05:40 > 0:05:51there. The Bears have won two in a row. It is still a tough division.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54For the last two years it has gone to Green Bay and we don't expect

0:05:54 > 0:06:04that to change. Super Bowl next year will be Minnesota.Nobody has ever

0:06:04 > 0:06:07played in their home state. What are your thoughts on them? Do you think

0:06:07 > 0:06:12the Vikings could be the first team to play in their own stadium?Yes,

0:06:12 > 0:06:17we have a brand-new stadium. We have great fans in the NFL so why not

0:06:17 > 0:06:20give them something they have been longing for for the past 50 years in

0:06:20 > 0:06:24this organisation? You start every year wanting to be the world

0:06:24 > 0:06:29champion and that is our goal. If not, you shouldn't be out there. Why

0:06:29 > 0:06:36not do it in our own stadium?Let's take a look at the other stars on

0:06:36 > 0:06:41this Vikings roster and whizzed up with a quarterback, Case Keenum.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45Here's the back-up, of course. That is because of the injury to Sam

0:06:45 > 0:06:51Bradford.He started pretty well. Yes, he has been the star before.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55The first spot starter and also took over at the Rams. 'S biggest

0:06:55 > 0:07:01trademark is accuracy. He can put a big ball in. That is a well flighted

0:07:01 > 0:07:07ball. Just in the spot where the receiver can get it. He is mobile.

0:07:07 > 0:07:15He loves Rudolf. He has been one of his go to receivers all season.

0:07:15 > 0:07:22Hanging onto the ball has been a key part for the season. 17 for the

0:07:22 > 0:07:27Cleveland quarterbacks. That underlines the fact is a safe pair

0:07:27 > 0:07:31of hands.Yes, he is. A lot of people did not expect him to play

0:07:31 > 0:07:38the way he has played this season. He has been with a couple of teams.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41This year he has stepped up. Than ever the new needs to do to help his

0:07:41 > 0:07:50team win.When Sam Bradford comes back to fitness. Bridgwater.That's

0:07:50 > 0:07:54the key thing. What you want from a back-up is what you want from a

0:07:54 > 0:07:58starter, as well. You expect they started to win games for you. With

0:07:58 > 0:08:02your back-up, you don't want to lose games. If the quarterback does not

0:08:02 > 0:08:06turn them all over, you will be in every game of a chance to win.Right

0:08:06 > 0:08:11in the thick of it is Harrison Smith. Xavier Rhodes called the

0:08:11 > 0:08:16heart of the defense.He definitely is the heart of the defense and

0:08:16 > 0:08:20arguably the best safety in football at this time because of how he

0:08:20 > 0:08:27plays. What makes him so dynamic is his ability to disguise covers. He

0:08:27 > 0:08:31does a good job confusing opponent quarterbacks and disguising

0:08:31 > 0:08:34coverages and comes back with big interceptions. He is also your

0:08:34 > 0:08:42friend. Here's my friend, as you can tell. That is a playwright there. He

0:08:42 > 0:08:46was the line of scrimmage for the big drops back in Cowbridge and

0:08:46 > 0:08:49fills the quarterback. These are the things he does makes everybody

0:08:49 > 0:08:54around better because of that.He has got great ball skills.A great

0:08:54 > 0:08:58ability to get the ball, hold onto it, does not make a lot of yards

0:08:58 > 0:09:02after it.Is he one of those players who redefined the position, do you

0:09:02 > 0:09:12think?We have had players similar to him like the Sean Taylor. He can

0:09:12 > 0:09:18come down and some you. He is playing at a high-level.Another

0:09:18 > 0:09:26doing that into a victim of at the moment is the defensive end. 57 in

0:09:26 > 0:09:34his career. Everson Griffen.They are missing Thomas. They are in for

0:09:34 > 0:09:39a big problem today with this man. Here's an outstanding defensive man,

0:09:39 > 0:09:43the entire package, speed, power, leveraged. He gets on his

0:09:43 > 0:09:48quarterback on a persistent basis. Both the guys he beat in those clips

0:09:48 > 0:09:57were back-ups for those teams.Joe Thomas is out. A huge blow for them.

0:09:57 > 0:10:04Also Garrett is not playing. They play in the AFC North, the Browns,

0:10:04 > 0:10:07led by Pittsburgh Steelers this season who are in the box seat.

0:10:07 > 0:10:14There is a gap to the Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals. They are looking

0:10:14 > 0:10:18to get their account under way today. Their playoff chances are

0:10:18 > 0:10:21essentially done and dusted the season but there's a lot to play for

0:10:21 > 0:10:26with this side. Pride and the prospect of a brighter future. Are

0:10:26 > 0:10:31the team keeping upbeat? Caroline caught up with Christian Kirksey to

0:10:31 > 0:10:36find out the mood in the Browns' camp.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52It's a cool experience for everyone to be together. Football family.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57I've never played in London. A lot of guys have not played in London,

0:10:57 > 0:11:02as well, so we are ready to adapt to how football is over here, how their

0:11:02 > 0:11:07fans love it, so I think it will be a lot of fun. I'm taking it all in

0:11:07 > 0:11:10and I think my team-mates are doing the same thing. Nothing is changing.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14We are still trying to win the ball game but enjoy the experience.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Because it's something different, could it be something would

0:11:17 > 0:11:22kick-start your season, for you?We want to take advantage of the

0:11:22 > 0:11:27opportunity in each game. So this game against the Vikings, you know,

0:11:27 > 0:11:32we will treat it like we were in the USA. New opponents. Starting afresh

0:11:32 > 0:11:39every week. If we do that, the sky is the limit for us. Our team

0:11:39 > 0:11:44mentality, coming to London, hopefully we can get the snowball

0:11:44 > 0:11:57rolling.Tennessee wins!It has to hurt, losing, so mentally, how do

0:11:57 > 0:12:03you approach that?I realise how hard it is to win a game in the NFL.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Both teams are extremely talented with talented players, so any given

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Sunday, it's a fine line between winning and losing, and it is

0:12:10 > 0:12:15getting over the hump, making those plays at the crucial moment. Every

0:12:15 > 0:12:18game you play you have to put it behind you and start fresh because

0:12:18 > 0:12:22if you keep thinking of the past, you will get the same outcome is.

0:12:22 > 0:12:29Tough times don't last. It eventually changes so we have to

0:12:29 > 0:12:32keep on moving forward.Jackson going to put his head on the pillow

0:12:32 > 0:12:35and have some sleep tonight. If you are dreaming and looking at that

0:12:35 > 0:12:41game on Sunday, where will be the big weakness?Every time I lay down

0:12:41 > 0:12:50I visualise myself making the impact play, interceptions, that's what I'm

0:12:50 > 0:12:55working towards, trying to get turnovers, lead the team attacking,

0:12:55 > 0:12:59and if you do that in your mind, played over and over again in your

0:12:59 > 0:13:07mind, it could come true.That they quarterback, a big pressure on him.

0:13:07 > 0:13:15Has he done that?A lot of guys around the facility are mentally and

0:13:15 > 0:13:19physically fit, so you visualise yourself doing a positive play. I'm

0:13:19 > 0:13:27sure he will cope the same way, think positive. Think about winning.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Here's positive.

0:13:33 > 0:13:41We have picked out Joe Thomas, who was out injured. He has torn his

0:13:41 > 0:13:48triceps. It's a huge loss. Particularly because he's such a

0:13:48 > 0:13:54leader on the field.No question. Here's one of the best tacklers of

0:13:54 > 0:13:57all-time. I've played against him before. He had me in the witness

0:13:57 > 0:14:02protection programme. An outstanding football player for the Bay will

0:14:02 > 0:14:09miss him.He played every single play. Since he was a rookie. He gets

0:14:09 > 0:14:13injured for the first time and misses that took to London.Woeful

0:14:13 > 0:14:19lack. Also for DeShone Kizer, the rookie Cleveland quarterback has

0:14:19 > 0:14:22struggled ever did a season unsurprisingly, perhaps, so what

0:14:22 > 0:14:27have you made up his performances so far?So far he has looked like a

0:14:27 > 0:14:32rookie, made a lot of mistakes, a lot of turnovers, and you expect

0:14:32 > 0:14:36that. They knew he was a work in progress and would take some time.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41The one thing he needs to do today is the need to stick to the shorter

0:14:41 > 0:14:44passes, the more high percentage throws up not turn over the ball.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Left his defense do a good job and not put the team in harm 's way by

0:14:48 > 0:14:52turning the ball over.11 interceptions for him this season.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Concerned about the way his head coach has been managing the

0:14:55 > 0:15:00situation because he benches them, he starts, and that can't be good

0:15:00 > 0:15:06for his psyche, can it?I had no clue what Jackson is doing here.

0:15:06 > 0:15:12Here's a young quarterback. If you take that into England, you can't

0:15:12 > 0:15:20affect him like that. Know this man will be in trouble this year.

0:15:20 > 0:15:25It is hard to figure out what they are doing in the long term because

0:15:25 > 0:15:31they have been accumulating draft picks. They took Kyzer the year

0:15:31 > 0:15:37after they took Cody Kessler. You wonder if it is a stopgap and they

0:15:37 > 0:15:42don't care because then they will pick up quarterback next year.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Kaiser is going to need help today and often a young quarterback looks

0:15:46 > 0:15:59to his tight end as a comfort blanket.This is an athletic young

0:15:59 > 0:16:06tight end. He can be a threat. Those are hard throws, not a lot of space

0:16:06 > 0:16:18you need a tight end who can get open.If you see Njoku, he is a

0:16:18 > 0:16:28modern tight end.He has caught three of the seven passing

0:16:28 > 0:16:36touchdowns in Cleveland have thrown this season. He hasn't performed so

0:16:36 > 0:16:42far this season so they are looking for names that are not necessarily

0:16:42 > 0:16:47as headliners. Duke Johnson being amongst them. He is a play about,

0:16:47 > 0:16:53running back has got into receiving game?What he is good at is open

0:16:53 > 0:17:06field running. When he gets a bit of room, he can make guys miss. It is

0:17:06 > 0:17:13easy to make them miss. Does a good hold on the right sideline. This is

0:17:13 > 0:17:19what they really want him to be doing. Nice little screen. The Jet

0:17:19 > 0:17:27defenders run away from the blockers. And then Duke Johnson

0:17:27 > 0:17:32weaved his way into the end zone. If you are defense, you know a pass is

0:17:32 > 0:17:36coming.Minnesota take to the field first, let's see how the UK welcomes

0:17:36 > 0:17:47the Vikings. This is the North. The land of the

0:17:47 > 0:18:03ice and snow. Home to the Warriors. This will protect this man, it flows

0:18:03 > 0:18:10through us all. It beats in our hearts. Making us stronger, more

0:18:10 > 0:18:31relentless. Transforming everything it touches. Battle will be waged.

0:18:36 > 0:18:42We will defend the North.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Here come the Minnesota Vikings. A lot of fans out and about earlier at

0:18:53 > 0:19:01Twickenham. One of the better loved NFL teams in the UK. Let's talk

0:19:01 > 0:19:11about the fearsome Vikings defense. How will be approach DeShone Kizer?

0:19:11 > 0:19:16They will get after him. If I was on their team I would be thinking this

0:19:16 > 0:19:21is an opportunity to get my stats up, get as many seconds as I can

0:19:21 > 0:19:26against a very weak offensive line. Could get ugly. Cleveland need all

0:19:26 > 0:19:32the help they can get. Being at the home team, that is a tick in that

0:19:32 > 0:19:38column. Here come the Cleveland Browns.

0:19:45 > 0:20:03Go, Browns. Let's go. I can't hear you! Get loud. Do it.

0:20:17 > 0:20:23The Cleveland Browns about to make their way out. There will be some

0:20:23 > 0:20:29first responders, the Met police, the City of London Police, the

0:20:29 > 0:20:31transport police and the Fire Service making their way onto the

0:20:31 > 0:20:39field with the Cleveland Browns. Essential for this Browns team that

0:20:39 > 0:20:46is very low on confidence. If you want to get in touch this afternoon,

0:20:46 > 0:20:50use the hash tag BBC NFL and we will try to answer your questions during

0:20:50 > 0:20:54the course of the programme. Pitch side is Caroline Barker and she

0:20:54 > 0:21:03caught up with Trent Green. You have been there, done that and

0:21:03 > 0:21:08won a Super Bowl as quarterback. We have two questionable quarterbacks

0:21:08 > 0:21:12on the field, they have made the headlines of late, where is this one

0:21:12 > 0:21:18won and lost for you?It all starts with a quarter box. The Cleveland

0:21:18 > 0:21:24Browns Avenue DeShone Kizer, who is up and down. He is leading the

0:21:24 > 0:21:28interceptions, so he has had his mistakes. But for a young player you

0:21:28 > 0:21:31will expect those things. The thing that gets him back in the starting

0:21:31 > 0:21:38line-up is he is a dazzling player, he has an incredible arm and great

0:21:38 > 0:21:43with his feet. Has been able to, but some of the plays for this fence the

0:21:43 > 0:21:48Browns has been missing. That is why he has this opportunity. And then

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Case Keenum comedy has been in the National Football League the six

0:21:52 > 0:21:56years. The Vikings have two of the quarterbacks that were injured and

0:21:56 > 0:22:01now he's getting an opportunity to start. This is the best he has

0:22:01 > 0:22:07played in his career. It is his 30th start of his NFL career. He is in a

0:22:07 > 0:22:12good place, he understands what he has around him. Two good running

0:22:12 > 0:22:18backs behind him and they do a combination of the doer of them. He

0:22:18 > 0:22:26has the receiver, Adam Peel, so they do have excellent defenses.I don't

0:22:26 > 0:22:31need to as do anything else. Who wins it?I would say the Vikings.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36But is how it looks. They five and two and Cleveland hasn't won a game

0:22:36 > 0:22:48yet.My defense came out, we will let you go. Real pleasure.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53STUDIO: As we get ready for the coin toss, let's talk about the

0:22:53 > 0:22:57confidence issue, because it is vital the Browns don't get off to a

0:22:57 > 0:23:01bad start?What they have to look for, the strong point of this team

0:23:01 > 0:23:05is defense. They should try to shut down the Minnesota running game,

0:23:05 > 0:23:11forced Case Keenum to win it in the air. Stefon Diggs, the running back

0:23:11 > 0:23:19is back today. But if you put the ball in the air, two bad things can

0:23:19 > 0:23:25happen. That is probably their best game plan, play tough on defense and

0:23:25 > 0:23:36let the defense put them in a position to win the game.Cleveland

0:23:36 > 0:23:42have won the toss and elected to defer. You want the football? Good

0:23:42 > 0:23:44luck, gentlemen.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54STUDIO: Be played tough against the Titans, the Browns, not the first

0:23:54 > 0:23:59time the defense has played tough? Their defense has played well this

0:23:59 > 0:24:04season and that is their strong suit right now. They should be at least

0:24:04 > 0:24:16in this game to the end.You have said how good the DBs.I think they

0:24:16 > 0:24:20are underrated. If they can put the ball in the air, stop the run and

0:24:20 > 0:24:26make them put the ball in the air they can make the plays.We will

0:24:26 > 0:24:32hear two national anthems, but first, the star spangled Banner.

0:25:07 > 0:25:16# Jose, can you see by the dorm's early light.

0:26:17 > 0:26:26# Oh say, does that star spangled banner

0:26:31 > 0:26:41# the land of the free

0:26:44 > 0:26:50# and the home of the brave #

0:26:50 > 0:26:59, Now the national anthem of great Britain and Laura Wright.

0:26:59 > 0:27:07# God save our gracious Queen. # Long live on noble Queen.

0:27:07 > 0:27:16# God Save The Queen. # Send her victorious.

0:27:16 > 0:27:27# Happy and glorious. # Long to reign over us.

0:27:27 > 0:27:37# God Save The Queen.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49STUDIO: Laura Wright becoming a fixture at these international

0:27:49 > 0:27:50games. We

0:27:50 > 0:27:52fixture at these international games. We are about a minute away

0:27:52 > 0:27:54from kick-off. We touched on the fragility of the Browns going into

0:27:54 > 0:28:00this game winless, but the Vikings, who looked like the real deal, they

0:28:00 > 0:28:03cannot get complacent because everyone is calling them winners and

0:28:03 > 0:28:09that is a danger strap to fall into? Absolutely and that is what they are

0:28:09 > 0:28:14telling themselves, don't fall into this trap, go out and do what we do

0:28:14 > 0:28:23well, let's win this game.It is a difficult day about quarterbacks.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25The Keenum, Sam Bridgwater is getting fit and he will want to hang

0:28:25 > 0:28:30onto that but if he keeps playing well, he will?It is an opportunity

0:28:30 > 0:28:36for him to entrench himself as a starter on this football team. Sam

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Bradford plays outstanding football and Teddy Bridgewater is great, but

0:28:39 > 0:28:54I think Cleveland Browns to win.You have got to back up that argument.

0:28:54 > 0:29:00What is the case for Cleveland winning this? They can play, it is a

0:29:00 > 0:29:05unit that has two step up? Defensively is where they will have

0:29:05 > 0:29:10to win this ball game. As long as they don't allow interceptions and

0:29:10 > 0:29:13bacon on the football and play good defense, they have a legitimate

0:29:13 > 0:29:18chance of winning this game.You have got to an two of the phases and

0:29:18 > 0:29:27they are bottom of the league.I am going with my heart.This season has

0:29:27 > 0:29:33been crazy in terms of results. Baltimore and Miami, if you give up

0:29:33 > 0:29:39two interception and a fumble return for a touchdown...It can happen.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43How much can you play the talk in fact, the London factor into it?Who

0:29:43 > 0:29:49ever got here earlier, which was the Vikings, it should benefit them.We

0:29:49 > 0:29:53shall see. Time to get this one under way, so I will hand you over

0:29:53 > 0:29:57to our commentary team.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05The Cleveland Browns have deferred which means the Vikings will get

0:30:05 > 0:30:10their hands on the football first. That's going to be one of the

0:30:10 > 0:30:21matchups today. Seeing Everson Griffen against Griffin. That will

0:30:21 > 0:30:26be a matchup we keep up with.

0:30:28 > 0:30:35And we are under way in Twickenham. There's one will not be run to the

0:30:35 > 0:30:41end zone. The Vikings start at the 25-yard line and that will bring

0:30:41 > 0:30:50Case Keenum. He does what they need him to do.He's playing the best

0:30:50 > 0:30:53football of his six-year career when you consider what is done in Huston

0:30:53 > 0:30:59and then with the Rams in Saint Lewis and Los Angeles. Now he has

0:30:59 > 0:31:01got comfortable, he understands the weapons he has and the game and

0:31:01 > 0:31:06management of it all. What type of defense he has, and has been very

0:31:06 > 0:31:10good with the football so far this season.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Murray.

0:31:18 > 0:31:29Up to 27-yard line.

0:31:31 > 0:31:36Stefon Diggs, questionable all week, with an ankle injury, they have

0:31:36 > 0:31:41sidelined him for the last two games, but he starts today.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49On 2nd & 8.

0:31:51 > 0:32:03To the 33-yard line, David Morgan. Myles Garrett suffered concussion

0:32:03 > 0:32:10last week. 17 tackles against Tennessee last week.

0:32:18 > 0:32:28Third and short yardage. Case Keenum gets his man across the 35 to the

0:32:28 > 0:32:3838-yard line and Stefon Diggs...He looks out to the right flank. Stefon

0:32:38 > 0:32:46Diggs is working from left to right as the third progression. Case

0:32:46 > 0:32:53Keenum does not allow that pass to get to him.The Vikings now from the

0:32:53 > 0:32:5438.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04Murray losers yardage on the play.

0:33:10 > 0:33:19Number 55, Danny Shelton.Minnesota last week, he is a key part of what

0:33:19 > 0:33:23they need, which is a deep threat. He stretches the field and there is

0:33:23 > 0:33:28a reason why Adam Thielen is one of the best receivers for the Minnesota

0:33:28 > 0:33:36Vikings because Stefon Diggs is over 16 yards reception this season.

0:33:41 > 0:33:50Case Keenum ran out of time to tight end Kyle Rudolph.

0:33:54 > 0:34:01Kyle Rudolph working the middle of the field. He was going to run out

0:34:01 > 0:34:06but Christian Kirksey ran to the outside. You can understand why Case

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Keenum has been sacked four times this season because gets rid of the

0:34:09 > 0:34:18ball so quickly. They tried to incorporate short passing game.

0:34:18 > 0:34:24Jerick McKinnon makes his first appearance of a day for Minnesota.

0:34:24 > 0:34:35Into BA and intercepted the Browns. Inside the 40, the linebacker Joe

0:34:35 > 0:34:42Schobert and the point goes to Cleveland.The interior part of the

0:34:42 > 0:34:48defensive line. If you are not going to make the second, you won't get

0:34:48 > 0:34:54the hit on the quarterback. You just want to get your hand up and that's

0:34:54 > 0:34:57our Carl Nassib realises he's not going to get the sack, so tries to

0:34:57 > 0:35:03time it out and causes the interception.Theirs is the kind of

0:35:03 > 0:35:12break they need to break through the day, Cleveland. DeShone Kizer.

0:35:12 > 0:35:20Inside the 30. Short of the 25-yard line is David Njoku, the tight end.

0:35:20 > 0:35:25First round draft pick out of Miami. DeShone Kizer, the rookie, he's had

0:35:25 > 0:35:31so many problems this year. He has had a rough ride. 11 interceptions

0:35:31 > 0:35:34with the NFL but found the consistency he needs.He's only

0:35:34 > 0:35:46completed 52% of his passes.To the touchdown. Versus Isaiah Crowell! --

0:35:46 > 0:35:49this is.

0:35:53 > 0:36:0126 yards. The Browns turn it over into a touchdown.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07He works his way right into the end zone. Just the middle part of this

0:36:07 > 0:36:17defense. The QuickDraw. He sees the defense get upfield which leaves the

0:36:17 > 0:36:27middle open. He was able to get it in for six.He hit the upright. That

0:36:27 > 0:36:33is the first extra point missed all season by Zane Gonzales.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46We were talking about the

0:36:46 > 0:36:50We were talking about the Browns not getting up to a bad start. The extra

0:36:50 > 0:36:55point notwithstanding, but Minnesota Vikings have only thrown two picks

0:36:55 > 0:37:00all season long and at Twickenham that accept what they did.They are

0:37:00 > 0:37:06not doing much to stretch the Browns' defense. This will be the

0:37:06 > 0:37:08unknown bit of that play.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Browns' defense. This will be the unknown bit of that play. On the

0:37:10 > 0:37:23touchdown. When you see the replay, he is the player they block from the

0:37:23 > 0:37:28Bengals, and watch get out there, two blocks. The linebacker does not

0:37:28 > 0:37:33have a chance. He was not in a position anyway.They ran their play

0:37:33 > 0:37:36quickly. You saw the miscommunication. They would talk to

0:37:36 > 0:37:41each other and that what happens when you are not in the right gap.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45He had a great year last time around but has not stepped up yet, Isaiah

0:37:45 > 0:37:51Crowell. What are the reasons for that?A lot of things have to do

0:37:51 > 0:37:54with the offensive line. You want to give credit to the running back when

0:37:54 > 0:38:02things go good but in reality it's all about the offensive line.They

0:38:02 > 0:38:06are trailing in a lot of games so they have to throw the ball a lot

0:38:06 > 0:38:09and you can't let that than a pound the ball in those situations.A

0:38:09 > 0:38:16difficult start for the Vikings. How will they respond to this? They were

0:38:16 > 0:38:21not expecting myth that all.No, but when you are defensively minded

0:38:21 > 0:38:26team, you will bounce back from this. They are on the sidelines

0:38:26 > 0:38:29saying, calm down, relax, stick to the game plan, we can win this.You

0:38:29 > 0:38:36said there's no such thing as a sure thing.Everybody picks Minnesota but

0:38:36 > 0:38:43there's no such thing. They could've won a couple of those games.Don't

0:38:43 > 0:38:48write them off completely. Why is it this season games have gone the

0:38:48 > 0:38:54other way? What do you put it down to?The one sidedness of it is a big

0:38:54 > 0:38:59surprise. Basically, the biggest problem is the a lot of good enough

0:38:59 > 0:39:04quarterbacks and linemen in front of them. -- there is not a lot of good

0:39:04 > 0:39:09quarterbacks and linesmen in front of them. Defensively, you can feast

0:39:09 > 0:39:16on it.A good start for the Browns. Let's go back to the action.

0:39:22 > 0:39:28Once again, the Vikings start from the 25. Points off turnovers, not an

0:39:28 > 0:39:33area the Browns excel in. In the first seven games they had ten

0:39:33 > 0:39:40points off turnovers. The very last in the table.When you are -11 in

0:39:40 > 0:39:44turnover ratio, and turned the ball over as much as Cleveland, it is a

0:39:44 > 0:39:47good start for them when they can get the turnover converted to

0:39:47 > 0:39:55points.Starting from the 25. Murray alongside him.

0:40:00 > 0:40:07Maybe a yard. That stopped the Cleveland defense against.The right

0:40:07 > 0:40:11tackle is being evaluated for a concussion for Mike Remmers, which

0:40:11 > 0:40:17are significant because they have an injury on that offensive line.He is

0:40:17 > 0:40:29being replaced by Rashard Higgins on 2nd & 9. Murray. Brought up short at

0:40:29 > 0:40:34the 3-yard line to make it a third in five. Thing is getting a thin on

0:40:34 > 0:40:43the Minnesota offensive line.That will hurt them. You only dress so

0:40:43 > 0:40:47many guys. We could go against Baltimore. All of a sudden that they

0:40:47 > 0:40:51had another injury, we would have to put a tight end on that offensive

0:40:51 > 0:40:57line so we need to keep an eye on that.Cornelius Edison is not active

0:40:57 > 0:41:08today. MacKinnon noncertified in the backfield. That is complete.

0:41:13 > 0:41:17We saw the end of that play what a concern for both of these teams is

0:41:17 > 0:41:23the footing on the field. Coaching staff talked about their players

0:41:23 > 0:41:35wearing screw includes for the ground.-- screw in cleats.

0:41:35 > 0:41:44Overthrowing everybody out of bounds. Ibraheim Campbell playing

0:41:44 > 0:41:52for safety. Case Keenum came back on that side. I think Campbell was in

0:41:52 > 0:42:00position so smart decision throwing it away.It will always be an

0:42:00 > 0:42:06enthusiastic football crowd in England.It's a great atmosphere.

0:42:06 > 0:42:12Coming into the stadium, everybody has got different jerseys on. It's

0:42:12 > 0:42:24American football.On 2nd & 10, Case Keenum. Complete. Floyd. Out of

0:42:24 > 0:42:30bounds at the 46-yard line. It will be third and about three.

0:42:33 > 0:42:39I haven't seen your jersey yet. I'm confident it is here somewhere.

0:42:39 > 0:42:46Because I played on five different teams, it's a rainbow of choices.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50Some fans have every single one of them, I know.

0:42:55 > 0:43:03Case Keenum going the other way through his receiver. Number 17.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Jarius Wright had an opportunity for a 1st down and they kicked it away.

0:43:06 > 0:43:15He has the 1st down. Double sales high on him. You can see Rudolph as

0:43:15 > 0:43:21he goes up for the sit down. Reid coming into the flat and he just

0:43:21 > 0:43:25misses the throw, Case Keenum.

0:43:32 > 0:43:41High and short.On the ground. Minnesota says they have it.

0:43:43 > 0:43:48What do the officials say?

0:43:52 > 0:43:57The tussle goes on a. Penalty markers fly. And still no decisions

0:43:57 > 0:44:01from the officials.

0:44:08 > 0:44:18And now a conversation. A la referee today is Jeff Triplett. There was a

0:44:18 > 0:44:30flag. -- a la referee. -- our referee. Emmanuel Lamur appeared to

0:44:30 > 0:44:38cover the ball.After the play is over, become recovery by Minnesota.

0:44:38 > 0:44:47Personal foul. Number 50, Minnesota. Enforced to the end of the play.The

0:44:47 > 0:44:55penalty is on Eric Wilson. What a terrific opportunity goes by four

0:44:55 > 0:45:00Cleveland because it will be a pretty good field position.We will

0:45:00 > 0:45:04see what the Vikings can do with it. 6-0. Cleveland are coming back after

0:45:04 > 0:45:13this.This is one of the reasons Cleveland do well. You get a big

0:45:13 > 0:45:21turnover, punctured right in and hand the ball back to them.Peppers

0:45:21 > 0:45:26is out four Cleveland. This is his first time he's been caught the

0:45:26 > 0:45:40season in a game situation.

0:45:40 > 0:45:45Let's take another look at it.If you are going to have a defensive

0:45:45 > 0:45:49battle you have to win that day is an big turnovers like this are game

0:45:49 > 0:45:57changing.We will be chatting to josh quakes. One of the great

0:45:57 > 0:46:03returners in the game. What technically went wrong, what are

0:46:03 > 0:46:12mistakes?At the last second, they feel the ball and they look up to

0:46:12 > 0:46:14see who's coming at them and that's when it usually goes through and

0:46:14 > 0:46:21hits the ground.Lack of concentration. He knows the Russians

0:46:21 > 0:46:29are going to get him.Frustrating mistake, use the hash tag BBC NFL

0:46:29 > 0:46:35and get your questions in. Keith, what would it take to turn the

0:46:35 > 0:46:43Browns franchise round, is it an overhaul.They are not going to make

0:46:43 > 0:46:50big changes after this season. They are in the middle of a rebuilding

0:46:50 > 0:47:05process. They are going to presumably get better. They have had

0:47:05 > 0:47:09for general managers in the last six or seven years of the ownership just

0:47:09 > 0:47:13has to sit back and say, I have to let these guys alone for a few years

0:47:13 > 0:47:16and give them a chance.They have a new front office and a progressive

0:47:16 > 0:47:23one. It is how they are putting the personnel together.I don't agree

0:47:23 > 0:47:29with how they are running the organisation. There has to be

0:47:29 > 0:47:32wholesale changes made on that football team.

0:47:37 > 0:47:48COMMENTATOR: You can understand with the crowds they have had.Inside the

0:47:48 > 0:47:5340 yard down. Let's go back to the punt and the loft punt and the

0:47:53 > 0:48:03subsequent pilot.The wind is at the back of the receiver and as it comes

0:48:03 > 0:48:08down it blows away from them. You see the penalty coming up right

0:48:08 > 0:48:10there.

0:48:17 > 0:48:22McKinnon trying to break it outside and this defense of Cleveland has

0:48:22 > 0:48:27been swarming defense in the early minutes of this game.Jamie Collins

0:48:27 > 0:48:36tracking them down.The last three games, the Vikings have averaged in

0:48:36 > 0:48:42every game. You try to make this a one-dimensional game. Put this in

0:48:42 > 0:48:53the hands of Case Keenum.Case Keenum and the Vikings looking at a

0:48:53 > 0:49:053rd & 15. Keenum... Inside the 25 yard, diving catch made by Adam

0:49:05 > 0:49:15Phelan. Enough for a 1st down.Watch the time Case Keenum has. Adam

0:49:15 > 0:49:24Phelan will just sit down in the zone. Putting it into a spot where

0:49:24 > 0:49:29only Adam Phelan can get it.1st down.

0:49:43 > 0:49:50Marie brought down at about the 21-yard line.We can hear Case

0:49:50 > 0:49:56Keenum changing the play at the scrimmage. Case Keenum and Gregg

0:49:56 > 0:50:00Williams spent the last two years together at the Rams. Williams being

0:50:00 > 0:50:05the defensive coordinator and Keenum being the quarterback. They have

0:50:05 > 0:50:12faced each other in the Scout team and going back and forth through

0:50:12 > 0:50:16training camp. We talked to both of them about that and I will be a bit

0:50:16 > 0:50:25of back and forth with them today. Kyle Rudolph in motion to the other

0:50:25 > 0:50:32side. Complete, inside the 20. Two about the 17-yard line and Stefon

0:50:32 > 0:50:36Diggs, who missed the last two games, back in action and getting a

0:50:36 > 0:50:42little work today.It is the third cash today. Two were on 3rd down,

0:50:42 > 0:50:48they gave them the 1st down and this time coming on second Ave. He comes

0:50:48 > 0:50:54in averaging over 17 yard is a catch. When do you fake the drag and

0:50:54 > 0:51:00convert it to get up the field to get the extra yard?Minnesota

0:51:00 > 0:51:05against the worst red zone defense in the NFL. Intended for Adam Phelan

0:51:05 > 0:51:24and covered well by Buddy Calhoun. The ball is a little bit behind.

0:51:24 > 0:51:37Six field goals against Baltimore. This one from 35 yards. On its way

0:51:37 > 0:51:56and perfect. 6-3. STUDIO: Caroline is pitch side.Jack, being down this

0:51:56 > 0:52:01close, and know you are a big, old unit, but they are huge?They make

0:52:01 > 0:52:10me feel small. Being from rugby background, I like the NFL.Didn't

0:52:10 > 0:52:18the Vikings do one over on you the other week?Yes, but the main man

0:52:18 > 0:52:22got injured, so that will not bode well for us this season. Hopefully

0:52:22 > 0:52:25be your one can come in and do all right and we can get out of the

0:52:25 > 0:52:36divisional.I might talk about your result in a minute, but the under 17

0:52:36 > 0:52:41England, played well.You are treating all the way through. I was

0:52:41 > 0:52:45fortunate enough to win the under 17 European Championships when I was

0:52:45 > 0:52:49younger so I know what it feels like. It is an incredible feeling

0:52:49 > 0:52:53and I will never forget it. Fair play to them. Successful couple of

0:52:53 > 0:52:59years for the younger age groups and hopefully this season, we can follow

0:52:59 > 0:53:06it up.To come here after that first away win yesterday, what is it like?

0:53:06 > 0:53:11Putt and much better spent on the weekend. We had a good night last

0:53:11 > 0:53:16my, my partner's birthday. And we won yesterday and a clean sheet,

0:53:16 > 0:53:22icing on the cake.She is over there, happy birthday. I know you

0:53:22 > 0:53:25have been with OC and Jason and tasted a bit of it, does this make

0:53:25 > 0:53:30you want to get in even closer?I have got into it in the last few

0:53:30 > 0:53:35years, I would love to get involved. Really love being this close and

0:53:35 > 0:53:41hearing it, hearing that tackles. They don't hold back.I know Geoff

0:53:41 > 0:53:44Cameron has been out with a bit of contrition, would he last five

0:53:44 > 0:53:50minutes out there?Definitely not coming is too soft for that. He is a

0:53:50 > 0:53:53good friend, but obviously a Patriots fan. Give him a bit of

0:53:53 > 0:54:01stick. I think Rogers is better than Brady.It must be hard giving a

0:54:01 > 0:54:07Patriots fan stick at the moment? They are not bad to be fair.They do

0:54:07 > 0:54:14all right. Looking at the rest of the season, where can you finish?We

0:54:14 > 0:54:19have had a tough patch in the last few games, but with the talent we've

0:54:19 > 0:54:23got, we are aiming in the top half of the table, it is what we can

0:54:23 > 0:54:28achieve.It is down to is to make sure we get there. We are done with

0:54:28 > 0:54:34you, you can go back and watch. COMMENTATOR: Cleveland have

0:54:34 > 0:54:41possessed the ball for 29 seconds. Points from turnover is now, 63.

0:54:41 > 0:54:45They will let it roll through the end zone for a touchback. Twickenham

0:54:45 > 0:54:49Stadium has been the host of NFL football for the past two weeks and

0:54:49 > 0:54:58it usually hosts rugby. Goalpost are about the same but the Rugby two

0:54:58 > 0:55:02Pole base goes back to the old days in the NFL and the next ten yards in

0:55:02 > 0:55:09length and 23 yards wider, the rugby pitch dwarfs the NFL field.The

0:55:09 > 0:55:18field will go all the way out to there.DeShone Kizer, to the near

0:55:18 > 0:55:21side.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29A lot of times it's hard to say you're leading receiver is your

0:55:29 > 0:55:39running back. But Roderick Johnson is the running back. Over 300 yards

0:55:39 > 0:55:43receiving. They use him in a bunch of different ways. We have a funny

0:55:43 > 0:55:54formation.Quick pass to the near side and that is complete. Ricardo

0:55:54 > 0:56:06Lewis... They spread the tackles out wide. Three interior lines.

0:56:12 > 0:56:23It was enough for a 1st down.

0:56:24 > 0:56:34DeShone Kizer, taking a look. Trying to slip a tackle. Harrison Smith

0:56:34 > 0:56:47wraps up. Cleveland's offensive line, Spencer Drango is filling in

0:56:47 > 0:56:51for Thomas, who is out for the rest of the year. Ricardo Lewis is the

0:56:51 > 0:56:54best choice in a wide receiver group but has one touchdown catch all

0:56:54 > 0:57:04season, which is why Duke Johnson stands out.DeShone Kizer is for 44

0:57:04 > 0:57:15on the day.Johnson. Johnson straight ahead across the 43 and

0:57:15 > 0:57:21Eric Kendricks makes the start. The defense for Minnesota, outstanding.

0:57:21 > 0:57:26Eric Kendricks just make that tackle and the Vikings leading tackler with

0:57:26 > 0:57:34two straight games and double figures in tackles. Anthony Harris

0:57:34 > 0:57:38starts today at safety. 3rd & 5.

0:57:46 > 0:58:04Overthrew his man. The pass intended but Njoku.Njoku up the sideline and

0:58:04 > 0:58:13DeShone Kizer misses the big play. Marcus Sherels, deep for the

0:58:13 > 0:58:25Vikings. He has five career return touchdowns.

0:58:30 > 0:58:35This one floated to the far side of the field and Stacey Kohli will make

0:58:35 > 0:58:42the catch at the 15-yard line. STUDIO: Leasing kick from the Browns

0:58:42 > 0:58:45and they are keeping this competitive. One of the reasons they

0:58:45 > 0:58:51are doing that, we talked about it, their defense can play. You picked

0:58:51 > 0:58:55up the defensive backs and they are stepping up?Absolutely, they will

0:58:55 > 0:59:00force him to make the throws and then they will play man coverage.

0:59:00 > 0:59:053rd down, Buddy Cahoon coming up with the good play and that is

0:59:05 > 0:59:11covering him man to man. This is the battle to B1.Before the game we

0:59:11 > 0:59:16were talking, why did they cut him in Jacksonville? He wasn't drafted

0:59:16 > 0:59:20because he is a little small and slow, but he has good technique,

0:59:20 > 0:59:25knows what he's doing. Once you pick up guys like that they tend to last

0:59:25 > 0:59:30a long time in the league. Natural talent is one thing, having the

0:59:30 > 0:59:35speed, but knowing what you're doing is important.The run defense, six

0:59:35 > 0:59:39or seven in the NFL this season so we knew it would be an advantage if

0:59:39 > 0:59:46they could get it going because it has got them thinking?Williams

0:59:46 > 0:59:50knows Case Keenum very well. Knows his strengths and weaknesses and he

0:59:50 > 0:59:53will attempt to stop the run because he knows what Case Keenum is going

0:59:53 > 0:59:57to do and he has been very effective defensively.If you are Minnesota

0:59:57 > 1:00:01you want to see if they can throw on 1st down, get the ball a little bit

1:00:01 > 1:00:09downfield Lotan these spreading out the field and taking one guy out for

1:00:09 > 1:00:15a two of three yard game. Force Cleveland to drop back.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18Greg Williams knows Case Keenum so will take away his comfortable

1:00:18 > 1:00:23throws.He likes to make things uncomfortable.You can put money on

1:00:23 > 1:00:31that.You have been getting in touch with as. A lot of it talking about

1:00:31 > 1:00:35the quarterback that the Browns have missed over the last couple of

1:00:35 > 1:00:50years. Watson. They could've gone for him.I would say he's really

1:00:50 > 1:00:57improved blues also got his offensive line back healthy. When

1:00:57 > 1:01:01you put an inexperienced quarterback in front of a bad line on a bad team

1:01:01 > 1:01:04having to play from behind, it is hard. It's a hard running

1:01:04 > 1:01:10experience.Cleveland built up the offensive line and just don't do

1:01:10 > 1:01:13well.

1:01:24 > 1:01:31Across the 20 is the tight end, Kyle Rudolph.

1:01:33 > 1:01:42If you want to get in touch with a studio, you can do by Twitter. We

1:01:42 > 1:01:45will do the best to get your questions answered throughout the

1:01:45 > 1:01:57course of the afternoon. Use #BBCNFL.

1:02:01 > 1:02:14COMMENTATOR: Across the 25 and close to a 1st down. He was having ankle

1:02:14 > 1:02:21surgery in the offseason, Murray. Winds it back. He had ankle surgery

1:02:21 > 1:02:26and was slowed to get going and last week was his biggest game of the

1:02:26 > 1:02:34season as he gets more comfortable. 12 yards, still in the 3rd down. He

1:02:34 > 1:02:45gets the handoff, the 1st down. Across the 35 out of 36-yard line,

1:02:45 > 1:02:49Ibraheim Campbell with the stop. Back to the line of scrimmage in a

1:03:37 > 1:03:44penalty market behind him. -- marker.

1:03:54 > 1:04:02Holding, number 69, offense. Repeat 2nd down.The penalty is on Rashard

1:04:02 > 1:04:08Higgins. He's throwing his arms up, frustrated.

1:04:11 > 1:04:19The holding throw right here. Easy call there as he grabs on to his

1:04:19 > 1:04:27jersey.This Minnesota team does not get penalised very much. The third

1:04:27 > 1:04:33fewest in the NFL coming into this week. Second and 21. Half a minute

1:04:33 > 1:04:38to play in the first. Setting up the screen and attempting the

1:04:38 > 1:04:47knock-down, Case Keenum.I'm impressed so far in this game is the

1:04:47 > 1:04:53way Greg Williams is mixing it up defensively. He prevents the big

1:04:53 > 1:05:01play, Emmanuel Ogbah, and has done a mix with the linebacker. He has gone

1:05:01 > 1:05:07zone where he drops everybody. Right now causing confusion for the

1:05:07 > 1:05:14Vikings' offensive.Minnesota looking at a third and 21.

1:05:18 > 1:05:29At the far side, Case Keenum could not hold on. May be James Burgess

1:05:29 > 1:05:34got a hand on it.I thought he was going to get a big six. P came

1:05:34 > 1:05:40blitzing from the middle of the field. He gets his right hand up. I

1:05:40 > 1:05:44thought he was going to one hand it and walk it into the end zone. A

1:05:44 > 1:05:52little bit too much on it.Bryce Treggs is deep. Had trouble holding

1:05:52 > 1:05:59on last time. This one he does hold onto at the 36.

1:06:14 > 1:06:22Lots of questions coming in on social media. Use #BBCNFL. A shout

1:06:22 > 1:06:25out for new bees watching the NFL for the first time and have

1:06:25 > 1:06:30questions about how it works. We will do our best to get them

1:06:30 > 1:06:32answered in the next few hours.

1:07:07 > 1:07:14A short break in play here in the first quarter. They need to keep

1:07:14 > 1:07:19this game tight. They managed to do that. We go back to the final few

1:07:19 > 1:07:21seconds.

1:07:27 > 1:07:37In the

1:07:38 > 1:07:43backfield, DeShone Kizer. This would appear to be the last play. Of the

1:07:43 > 1:07:50first quarter as time runs down. We have played 15 minutes here in

1:07:50 > 1:07:54Twickenham, England. 6-3, Browns, and we are coming right back after

1:07:54 > 1:07:59this. Lets look at the first quarter. We talked about how well

1:07:59 > 1:08:09the Vikings touched the ball this season. And the Browns not only

1:08:09 > 1:08:15managed to convert this into points, but Isaiah Crowell had a great

1:08:15 > 1:08:19season last season. He is stepping up into the end zone. The extra

1:08:19 > 1:08:24point was missed, of cause and then another mistake the Browns may live

1:08:24 > 1:08:28to regret. On the return, the Vikings could not punch that into

1:08:28 > 1:08:37the end zone. It is 6-3, Cleveland. It's the first quarter score. Martin

1:08:37 > 1:08:45asks on social media, #BBCNFL, are the Vikings below average today or

1:08:45 > 1:08:54are the Browns improving?They have a good defense, Browns. The line of

1:08:54 > 1:09:00the Vikings is average. They played much better than last year. When you

1:09:00 > 1:09:04look at the Vikings' results last year, not only was the line terrible

1:09:04 > 1:09:11but they seem to insist on trying to run with a line who could not run.

1:09:11 > 1:09:18What did you think of the first-quarter performance of DeShone

1:09:18 > 1:09:20Kizer?He's been great but missed some opportunities which is to be

1:09:20 > 1:09:24expected with a rookie quarterback. As long as he does not make any

1:09:24 > 1:09:27mistakes I think they have a good chance.Is there such a limited

1:09:27 > 1:09:33sample size in here, because Hugh Jackson has pulled out, but do you

1:09:33 > 1:09:39look at him and instinctively think he is a long-term starter in the NFL

1:09:39 > 1:09:47or is the Juilliard?You see the talent and composure he has but

1:09:47 > 1:09:52overall, he doesn't have the pieces around him. -- is the Juilliard.It

1:09:52 > 1:10:03is so much a right place at the right time -- is the jury is out?

1:10:03 > 1:10:10They get drafted by a bad team. I look at him and I see somebody, the

1:10:10 > 1:10:19upside is Winston, a big strong arm, a bit erratic. The downside is

1:10:19 > 1:10:26Manuel. He's that kind of player. Similar guys, mobile, huge arms,

1:10:26 > 1:10:32need to learn touch. Need to learn recognition, that kind of thing.OK,

1:10:32 > 1:10:34let's get back to the action.

1:10:40 > 1:10:47With the completion is DeShone Kizer. Also Bryce Treggs. You will

1:10:47 > 1:10:52go up the field. Bryce Treggs will make it seem he's running a go

1:10:52 > 1:11:02route. DeShone Kizer anticipating where he will stop. You come into

1:11:02 > 1:11:14this game with a 52% completion rate.

1:11:16 > 1:11:24Bounced out of bounds.He's ever challenging starting this season,

1:11:24 > 1:11:29DeShone Kizer and feels like he's been defined by his season at Notre

1:11:29 > 1:11:33Dame and his seven with the Cleveland Browns. He says it's taken

1:11:33 > 1:11:36a toll on his confidence but he has to get back to the guy he is.

1:11:36 > 1:11:42Identify the bad and grow from it. The head coach Hugh Jackson says he

1:11:42 > 1:11:45handles conversations well than they have those tough conversations in

1:11:45 > 1:11:49terms of this performance.Hugh Jackson has made it clear you have

1:11:49 > 1:11:54to do the right things on the field. Otherwise you end up standing next

1:11:54 > 1:12:03to him on the side Linux!This is Johnson. Inside the 44. It will be

1:12:03 > 1:12:09third and about five. Those are the conversations Jackson has with

1:12:09 > 1:12:13DeShone Kizer. There are times you have to take a quarterback. You need

1:12:13 > 1:12:17to try to squeeze the ball in there. You have to understand the game

1:12:17 > 1:12:20management, one of the most difficult tasks of playing in the

1:12:20 > 1:12:25position, realising in the second quarter, third quarter, where you

1:12:25 > 1:12:28are in the field. There are so many things to take into consideration

1:12:28 > 1:12:40before you try to play well.DeShone Kizer looking at a 3rd & 5. The

1:12:40 > 1:12:50slant is broken up. It was tended for Lewis. Let's check their flag.

1:12:50 > 1:12:57Trae Waynes broke it up.Formation, not eligible player on the end of

1:12:57 > 1:13:11the line. Declined. 4th down.Coming into this game, what the Browns are

1:13:11 > 1:13:14trying to do was cause confusion. We've seen it with a strange

1:13:14 > 1:13:19alignments, going out wide, moved into different spots causing

1:13:19 > 1:13:23confusion. With so many changes, sometimes you have it where a guy

1:13:23 > 1:13:28does not line up. You have to have a tackle with a tight end on the

1:13:28 > 1:13:38outside.The 10-yard line.So that is where the Vikings will start with

1:13:38 > 1:13:4312.48 remaining in the first half. Seems like they could be a

1:13:43 > 1:13:49goalkeeper 's convention going on here at Twickenham because Caroline

1:13:49 > 1:13:54is with one of.You wait all week for one and then many come along at

1:13:54 > 1:14:01once. This is your bread-and-butter. You love the NFL.Yes, two games in

1:14:01 > 1:14:05a week at Twickenham for me so I could get used to this.Now you have

1:14:05 > 1:14:11your pod cast, there's plenty to talk about.Exactly. The NFL were

1:14:11 > 1:14:16kind enough to invite me and my producer so we have a lot of fun

1:14:16 > 1:14:22with it. Any get to watch it, and talk about it, it's even better.How

1:14:22 > 1:14:29would you assess this game so far?A nice close game for them everybody

1:14:29 > 1:14:32expected the Vikings to blow at the Browns but there's no such thing as

1:14:32 > 1:14:37an easy game in the NFL, and it's nice and close.I didn't get to

1:14:37 > 1:14:43congratulate you on your 200th Premier League appearance.Yes, it's

1:14:43 > 1:14:47bittersweet with defeat to Chelsea yesterday. I would have liked a more

1:14:47 > 1:14:49positive result but it's nice to achieve a nice milestone and

1:14:49 > 1:14:58hopefully I can play 200 more. There's no bad blood. We are good

1:14:58 > 1:15:01friendss. We are sitting next to each other.Here supporting the

1:15:01 > 1:15:08Vikings so we will see what happens. You are a Patriots fan.Yes, we are

1:15:08 > 1:15:17OK there.They are doing all right. There's no stinker of a season.It's

1:15:17 > 1:15:21a good start. Five and two and especially with what is going down

1:15:21 > 1:15:24in their division, it could be their division to lose.I know we spoke

1:15:24 > 1:15:28previously about where you fit on this field if you were out there but

1:15:28 > 1:15:36quarterback particularly are a little bit suspect?

1:15:36 > 1:15:42I used to play a bit in Junior high and in Canada. I used to be a

1:15:42 > 1:15:48quarterback but I didn't fancy getting hit by the tight end.If we

1:15:48 > 1:15:54are looking at where they might be, do you see the Patriots back in

1:15:54 > 1:16:00February?I hope so, they had a big loss with Dante Hightower going

1:16:00 > 1:16:06down. As the season goes on, they will get stronger. I see them

1:16:06 > 1:16:09getting to the playoffs and then I am hoping they will get to the Super

1:16:09 > 1:16:20Bowl.Is the killer question I should ask?Now, take it easy today.

1:16:32 > 1:16:38COMMENTATOR: Stefon Diggs.That is a long throw to make from deep in your

1:16:38 > 1:16:46end zone.He has a comeback rout at ten yards. Use eyes of Keenum

1:16:46 > 1:16:56working the feel. 1st down at the 20.

1:17:02 > 1:17:10McKinnon with the whole of the men and -- middle. He has a seven yard

1:17:10 > 1:17:19pick-up, it will be seven and three. Joe Schobert width that tackle.The

1:17:19 > 1:17:28linebackers have been all over the field.They come in with 56 tackles

1:17:28 > 1:17:32and 59 tackles. They are everywhere. Healthy Jamie Collins been helpful

1:17:32 > 1:17:42for them from a linebacker point of view as well. Fake to McKinnon this

1:17:42 > 1:17:47time. Wide open. It is caught by Adam Phelan. Out of bounds, just

1:17:47 > 1:17:59inside the 35-yard line. Check the flag.Coming back.

1:18:10 > 1:18:17Number 71 and 63 in the offense. Riley Reiff and the rookie Danny

1:18:17 > 1:18:24Isidora, combining on the violation. They will be called on the penalty

1:18:24 > 1:18:28on the left side of the line. You see the play fake and then the

1:18:28 > 1:18:31roll-out. Trying to push the ball up the field when you get that type of

1:18:31 > 1:18:37play. You cannot be engaged up high and then go loaf. They put that into

1:18:37 > 1:18:46effect from a safety standpoint. Instead of 41 yard pick-up, it is

1:18:46 > 1:18:57now second and 16th.Short past, McKinnon was tripped up to about the

1:18:57 > 1:19:0119-yard line. Taylor, making the stop. I made the comment to you

1:19:01 > 1:19:06during the break, these Cleveland Browns missing some key pieces of

1:19:06 > 1:19:13defense are out here so far holding the pretty well.The point of the

1:19:13 > 1:19:21turnover. Minnesota, when they got their turnover, they were held to a

1:19:21 > 1:19:25field goal. Defensively, they are trying to keep everything in front

1:19:25 > 1:19:32of them and put the Vikings in 3rd & long, like we have here.Keenum,

1:19:32 > 1:19:36under pressure, escapes... Prose. Adam Phelan has a 1st down at the

1:19:36 > 1:19:4740-yard line.Adam Phelan will walk his way across the field as he has

1:19:47 > 1:19:54time in the pocket, going from left to right. Pressing up into the zone.

1:19:54 > 1:19:59Stefon Diggs, draws but underneath coverage and allows the window for

1:19:59 > 1:20:09Keenum to drop it into the field. Vikings now at their own 40. Back to

1:20:09 > 1:20:13the ground game and McKinnon, the fourth year running back out of

1:20:13 > 1:20:22Georgia Southern. There is Adam Phelan. What a feeling he is having

1:20:22 > 1:20:27so far.He is putting together some big numbers. Stefon Diggs has been

1:20:27 > 1:20:31out with a groin injury but Adam Phelan has been reliable for the

1:20:31 > 1:20:37Vikings. This ability to work and find zones. Has been on the same

1:20:37 > 1:20:51page as Keenum, and very short-handed receiver.Keenum, deep

1:20:51 > 1:21:01prop this time, incomplete. The pass was intended for lukewarm Tredwell.

1:21:01 > 1:21:04That is the guide Vikings keep hoping get things together and take

1:21:04 > 1:21:11off as a receiver. Came in today with only 11 catches. Has made some

1:21:11 > 1:21:15dynamic plays this season but some of the more simple plays, coming

1:21:15 > 1:21:21back on a quick ten yard comeback route, loses his footing. Yes, you

1:21:21 > 1:21:25lose your footing from time to time, but you need to see more consistency

1:21:25 > 1:21:37out of lukewarm Tredwell.Keenum, needs to get this in for a 1st down.

1:21:37 > 1:21:49Incomplete. Stefon Diggs, the intended receiver.That is about the

1:21:49 > 1:21:52third or fourth time they have been working that stop.

1:21:57 > 1:22:00It is about the third or fourth time they have been working that

1:22:00 > 1:22:07comeback. Rout. Jordan drives of Stefon Diggs. It is an easy call for

1:22:07 > 1:22:16the officials. If Jordan is going to play that far off, you need to get

1:22:16 > 1:22:21the ball in your hands and tried to convert it. Or you get a stuff to

1:22:21 > 1:22:34move at the 1st down mark.Derrick Kindred, is the safety. They have

1:22:34 > 1:22:42yet to get the running game going. Murray, only eight carries in 20

1:22:42 > 1:22:48yards. There is a big emphasis by the Browns defense. He likes to run

1:22:48 > 1:22:51inside the tackles, but there's a big guy. When he gets in the open

1:22:51 > 1:23:04field, he is fast enough. The pitch. McKinnon. Building up ahead of

1:23:04 > 1:23:18speed, just inside the Cleveland 40, to the 39-yard line. Set up a third.

1:23:21 > 1:23:38Berger is going to kick it out. Third and for now. Cleveland with a

1:23:38 > 1:23:42safety deep in the middle of the field. Keenum turn its out of the

1:23:42 > 1:23:47field. It is caught and dropped at the 25-yard line. In and out of the

1:23:47 > 1:23:54hands of Kyle Rudolph. Christian Kirksey giving him a little company

1:23:54 > 1:24:03on the play. Christian Kirksey puts his arm between and swipes the ball

1:24:03 > 1:24:13out. Great defensive play. Bright strikes, deep and now to return this

1:24:13 > 1:24:20upcoming part in his own 7-yard line.

1:24:24 > 1:24:28They will let it bounds at the five and it takes a Cleveland Browns

1:24:28 > 1:24:38before the Vikings settled down at about the 9-yard line.

1:24:38 > 1:24:45STUDIO: Great play by Christian Kirksey.Cavalry coming to the

1:24:45 > 1:24:52rescue.Christian Kirksey, great play from him?Minnesota needed

1:24:52 > 1:24:58that. Came to, but the hand on the ball, most linebackers cannot make

1:24:58 > 1:25:05plays like that.Special Teams keeping them in? Great by the

1:25:05 > 1:25:11Minnesota Vikings. The Cleveland Browns keep finding ways to give

1:25:11 > 1:25:19them more chances. You have an opportunity to keep them back, but

1:25:19 > 1:25:23you allow them to get in an excellent field position right now.

1:25:23 > 1:25:27Certain teams we think are legitimate and then struggle against

1:25:27 > 1:25:33weaker teams, odessey forces us to filter the argument is a bit.We are

1:25:33 > 1:25:37back to what we said at the start, the Browns can play defense. They

1:25:37 > 1:25:39have pretty good defense and Minnesota right now is picking away

1:25:39 > 1:25:43trying to find something that works. But they mostly sticking to what

1:25:43 > 1:25:52they came into the game doing and they need to make a few adjustments.

1:25:52 > 1:25:56Williams has held back and blitzing pretty much. They did on the screen

1:25:56 > 1:26:00pass the got tipped and nearly intercepted. But he seems to feel

1:26:00 > 1:26:06they can keep Keenum off-balance without having to win big blitzes.

1:26:06 > 1:26:10You have been getting in touch with us, Jeffrey has said, thanks for

1:26:10 > 1:26:13your message. He says the Browns have adopted an analytical approach

1:26:13 > 1:26:21to personnel. Any room for money ball to succeed in the NFL?It is

1:26:21 > 1:26:24difficult, one of the things you should try to figure out is what

1:26:24 > 1:26:28they are trying to do, the accumulating draft fixes are good,

1:26:28 > 1:26:32but you have to get them when you need them. You say money ball, the

1:26:32 > 1:26:40Josh Hill character in the movie, money ball, was a baseball guy who

1:26:40 > 1:26:46is now with the Browns, giving them the kind of analytical is.You are

1:26:46 > 1:26:52not buying it?It is nonsense. The New England Patriots are well

1:26:52 > 1:26:56coached football team. It is a player's league and they keep

1:26:56 > 1:27:00trading away their draft picks and that is why they are struggling.But

1:27:00 > 1:27:06they are well coached.The coach makes the decisions and be missed on

1:27:06 > 1:27:09a lot of draft picks, the Patriots but because they don't overextend

1:27:09 > 1:27:16money on them, they can bring in someone else if it fails.

1:27:25 > 1:27:31COMMENTATOR: The Browns, from their own nine. Not much on the left side

1:27:31 > 1:27:36of the line, which is where Spencer Drango is holding court at left

1:27:36 > 1:27:41tackle. For the first time in a long time, someone other than Thomas

1:27:41 > 1:27:47working over there.Spencer Drango has his hands full, that is clear.

1:27:47 > 1:27:52What the Browns have done from a play calling standpoint, to make

1:27:52 > 1:27:56things easier, they have mainly been quick throws, their running game has

1:27:56 > 1:28:00been draws. They have and challenge them in terms of having to maintain

1:28:00 > 1:28:05a block for a long time.Johnson out of the backfield and not really

1:28:05 > 1:28:10going much further than the 13-yard line. Anthony Harris coming up from

1:28:10 > 1:28:21the safety position. Now it is a 3rd & 6.You can see the personnel

1:28:21 > 1:28:25changes the Browns have made, bringing in extra receivers. Here on

1:28:25 > 1:28:313rd & 6, this might be the time they have to push the ball up the field

1:28:31 > 1:28:41further and give Spencer Drango a tougher task against Everson

1:28:41 > 1:28:55Griffen.Incomplete at the 20-yard line, intended for Ricardo Lewis.

1:28:55 > 1:29:02Spencer Drango on Everson Griffen and then he bounces to the outside.

1:29:07 > 1:29:19Got away with getting little bit earlier.

1:29:27 > 1:29:32Catch made by Stacy Cowley at the 40-yard line. That is where we will

1:29:32 > 1:29:36get started when we come back to Twickenham, after this. STUDIO: Big

1:29:36 > 1:29:40drive coming up for the Vikings. Tom on social media has asked, can the

1:29:40 > 1:29:46Browns use the LA Rams as an example to rebuild their franchise, a new

1:29:46 > 1:29:50coach rejuvenated them. We are seeing that with a couple of young

1:29:50 > 1:29:53coaches in the NFL doing well and maybe that is the way to go with my

1:29:53 > 1:29:59franchise?Cleveland thought that is what they were doing with huge

1:29:59 > 1:30:06action. He is a quarterbacks coach. -- Hue Jackson. He is in the role to

1:30:06 > 1:30:12do that.You look at the Rams for example, Greg Williams was defensive

1:30:12 > 1:30:16coordinator at the Rams. Jeff Fisher, a lot like Hue Jackson,

1:30:16 > 1:30:22never thought of as a quarterback developer but relative really an

1:30:22 > 1:30:26imaginative defensively. He was a quarterback developer but the

1:30:26 > 1:30:29quarterback was Andy Dalton and it was a controlled game. That is what

1:30:29 > 1:30:34he wants to play.

1:30:34 > 1:30:37Wade Phillips comes in as defensive coordinator which has made a huge

1:30:37 > 1:30:42difference.He is a young 70-year-old.In terms of the length

1:30:42 > 1:30:47of time coaches are given in the NFL compared to other sports, it's

1:30:47 > 1:30:54favourable. There's very few teams who pull a trigger on a coach to

1:30:54 > 1:30:57early but Hugh Jackson has got a terrible winning record as head

1:30:57 > 1:31:03coach at the moment. One game, even though it's a bad side, will he be

1:31:03 > 1:31:08able to hang onto his job until next season? Will there be pressure on

1:31:08 > 1:31:13him if he keeps on racking up the losses?There has to be losses on

1:31:13 > 1:31:20him. They will release them and there's pressure on him. There's no

1:31:20 > 1:31:25question about holding onto him for next year. He has to win more games

1:31:25 > 1:31:29than this. I don't care what players who have. As a head coach, you are

1:31:29 > 1:31:33responsible for the football team and they have got to win more.A

1:31:33 > 1:31:39couple towards the end of the would go a long way. If you goes aero-

1:31:39 > 1:31:45eight, you get fired.The Vikings last season came out of the traps

1:31:45 > 1:31:51lying and then that's a good point. Keep the questions coming in,

1:31:51 > 1:31:52#BBCNFL.

1:31:57 > 1:32:00COMMENTATOR: The New Orleans Saints have come on strong after a slow

1:32:00 > 1:32:09start. The LA Rams putting up some serious games. Six minutes to play

1:32:09 > 1:32:12in the first half.

1:32:19 > 1:32:24Case Keenum flowing out of the far side. Picked up by the Browns but

1:32:24 > 1:32:32ruled incomplete and deflected by Carl Nassib.He has been all over

1:32:32 > 1:32:38the field. He's had a great presence, along with Emmanuel Ogbah,

1:32:38 > 1:32:45from a defensive standpoint. McKinnon will have a good 5-8 yards

1:32:45 > 1:32:53before he gets defenders around him. 2nd & 10.

1:33:00 > 1:33:04Jerick McKinnon breaking to the outside and almost to midfield.

1:33:04 > 1:33:09About one yard shy of the 1st down. Christian Kirksey making the tackle.

1:33:09 > 1:33:15It looked like he was going to have a four yard game. Splitting the

1:33:15 > 1:33:21defenders. Nearly got the 1st down.

1:33:25 > 1:33:33The clock continues to move. Under 5.5 to play in that first half.You

1:33:33 > 1:33:38think the Vikings I can run the ball here five and short.On the move,

1:33:38 > 1:33:47outside. Caught by David Morgan, the tight end. That is what the Vikings

1:33:47 > 1:33:55were relying on. They did not think it was going to be a run play. David

1:33:55 > 1:34:03Morgan, behind Rudolph. He sets his block and then leaks out to the

1:34:03 > 1:34:10flat. Morgan came into today with no catches on the season. Already two

1:34:10 > 1:34:21here today.Minnesota now at the 37. Jerick McKinnon picks up about five

1:34:21 > 1:34:28on the play. Before Joe Schobert makes the tackle. The last stages of

1:34:28 > 1:34:31the first half and Minnesota looking like they are getting more field for

1:34:31 > 1:34:36it.Jerick McKinnon has done a good job was open field move and breaking

1:34:36 > 1:34:42tackles. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a double move. Just around

1:34:42 > 1:34:46the 30-yard line, if they get the coverage, on the outside, we talked

1:34:46 > 1:34:53about the corners, you'd could get a double move. Deep safeties for the

1:34:53 > 1:35:04Browns. Wide-open underneath, Jerick McKinnon, inside the 25. 23rd in the

1:35:04 > 1:35:121st down from Minnesota.Smart decision that time. Two safeties

1:35:12 > 1:35:17deep with five underneath. Jerick McKinnon able to find that soft spot

1:35:17 > 1:35:23in the zone. Easy completion.

1:35:33 > 1:35:41Jerick McKinnon off right guard inside the 22, about 18. Joe

1:35:41 > 1:35:46Schobert and Jamie Collins making the stop.No one has used a time-out

1:35:46 > 1:35:58so far in the first half. You can see the change up between Latavius

1:35:58 > 1:36:03Murray and Jerick McKinnon. He is causing some confusion now. We stick

1:36:03 > 1:36:14with Jerick McKinnon.Case Keenum flowing. Touchdown!

1:36:15 > 1:36:18His first of the season.

1:36:33 > 1:36:38You can see he gets a little soccer celebration at the end, sliding on

1:36:38 > 1:36:46his knees and pumping his fist. Keep your eye on the safety. He keeps

1:36:46 > 1:36:50looking to his left. He thinks he has safety on the backside. You see

1:36:50 > 1:36:57them to each other. Campbell was the safety that got drawn by the eyes of

1:36:57 > 1:37:01Jamar Taylor.

1:37:08 > 1:37:14STUDIO: The fans of the Vikings faces federal. Remember lots more

1:37:14 > 1:37:22NFL on the BBC. Tuesday night, 12:15am, catch all the action on

1:37:22 > 1:37:26Tuesday night. The boys round up everything that has happened,

1:37:26 > 1:37:35including this game. James says that the Browns' Deluxe tough. They will

1:37:35 > 1:37:39be kicking themselves they let in the Vikings through the back door.

1:37:39 > 1:37:44That's the best way to describe it. What went wrong for the Browns

1:37:44 > 1:37:49there?They are following Case Keenum and not gain attention to the

1:37:49 > 1:37:56rest of the field. That is his best and he is great. He finds open

1:37:56 > 1:38:03spots. He knows he's got to find an open spot on the right side. He does

1:38:03 > 1:38:07not look down there until a very last-minute. Case Keenum is sneaky

1:38:07 > 1:38:11fast. Is sneaky fast receiver.

1:38:20 > 1:38:26This is Matt Dayes bring it back short of a 25-yard line. Then Gideon

1:38:26 > 1:38:31from Michigan. The blocks will come right from the inside, working

1:38:31 > 1:38:42through the middle to get a hand up. He got his hand in there. No. He's

1:38:42 > 1:38:55done it all day in the passing game.

1:39:03 > 1:39:09That was intended for Johnson on the backfield. That will be 2nd & 10.

1:39:09 > 1:39:15This is where you have to be wary of DeShone Kizer, who's done a good job

1:39:15 > 1:39:19of protecting the football this entire game. We have some time-outs.

1:39:19 > 1:39:25You want to get into some kind of rhythm. Tried to go down before

1:39:25 > 1:39:29getting tied up before half time. You also can't risk getting the ball

1:39:29 > 1:39:33back to Minnesota right before they have a chance to add more points.It

1:39:33 > 1:39:43is your Achilles' heel. 9-6, Minnesota. To the near side.

1:39:43 > 1:39:53Johnson. He will be marked down just outside the 15-yard line.Eric

1:39:53 > 1:40:05Kendricks with the tackle. As you have looked at DeShone Kizer, if it

1:40:05 > 1:40:10mechanics, inexperienced, lack of projecting?I think it in

1:40:10 > 1:40:13experience, understanding game situations. It's a difficult things

1:40:13 > 1:40:16to do. You think you can make all the throws and you understand what

1:40:16 > 1:40:23you want to get done. You realise everyone on the field is faster.Two

1:40:23 > 1:40:28minutes to play here at Twickenham. STUDIO: Such an important passage of

1:40:28 > 1:40:31play for the Browns right now. The Vikings have a chance to get more

1:40:31 > 1:40:37points and then the whole dynamic shifts.Absolutely. They are winning

1:40:37 > 1:40:40the field position. We thought they might go for it on four and one but

1:40:40 > 1:40:47they need to get three and out and get field position back.With the

1:40:47 > 1:40:50Cleveland Browns, you have to be concerned right now. You do not want

1:40:50 > 1:40:55to go behind to the Minnesota Vikings. It looks like this game

1:40:55 > 1:40:59could be getting out of hand that they score some points.Let's have a

1:40:59 > 1:41:05look at the Vikings touchdown once again. Adam Thielen, the player.

1:41:05 > 1:41:10What you see right now in the corner, he supposed to help the

1:41:10 > 1:41:17safety ride there. You look at stuff you should not be looking at.He

1:41:17 > 1:41:21left Adam Thielen open in the end zone. You can see the corner still

1:41:21 > 1:41:26watching at the safety is watching too. Adam Thielen keeps them in the

1:41:26 > 1:41:32middle of the field by looking that way.Recall the playing game.Not

1:41:32 > 1:41:37me, it's you. I was good at that. What did you make of that

1:41:37 > 1:41:44celebration?He is playing the crowd.Liam has got in touch with us

1:41:44 > 1:41:50on social media. Where do you think it's going so wrong for the Giants?

1:41:50 > 1:41:56What do they need to change, the coach?They are one in six right

1:41:56 > 1:42:01now, not playing very well. They need to get back to playing Giant

1:42:01 > 1:42:04football, my default answer for everything. Run with a football.

1:42:04 > 1:42:11Deck the quarterback. Obviously they have some injuries. They just did to

1:42:11 > 1:42:16get back for the per head coach, I'm not going to blame him. Offensively,

1:42:16 > 1:42:24they brought in to be doing a good job and he's not.They had a big

1:42:24 > 1:42:31game but that's it.Another example, nobody thought they would beat the

1:42:31 > 1:42:35Broncos and they stormed it. What about the defense? They spent a lot

1:42:35 > 1:42:38of last season but that does not lived up to expectations this

1:42:38 > 1:42:44season.They have not played as well as last year. Last year they

1:42:44 > 1:42:53dominated. This year, inconsistent. They need to get back and play well.

1:42:53 > 1:42:57Their corners are not playing well. Last year they had one of the top

1:42:57 > 1:43:03corners in the league.They have the lead on the Giants.

1:43:09 > 1:43:16COMMENTATOR: Going deep down the Fat sideline. It is caught by Ricardo

1:43:16 > 1:43:20Louis.

1:43:23 > 1:43:29That was a pretty good throw.Xavier Rhodes was one-on-one. I was

1:43:29 > 1:43:34surprised he dropped in the safety. Anthony Harris comes down the

1:43:34 > 1:43:40backfield. When you go to do that, across the board, it was

1:43:40 > 1:43:48one-on-ones.Johnson ducks inside the 45-yard line. The clock

1:43:48 > 1:43:53continues to move once a all three of their time outside used. You

1:43:53 > 1:43:59don't want to score, you don't want to leave too much time for

1:43:59 > 1:44:07Minnesota. You work the middle of the field if you have to.He

1:44:07 > 1:44:13shovelled it ahead. The penalty mark is down. Inside the town of. Now you

1:44:13 > 1:44:29call time-out. -- it is inside the time.You need to get ready to snap

1:44:29 > 1:44:38back to play.Member 41.The penalty was on Anthony Harris and they

1:44:38 > 1:44:46turned it down, so 30 yard on the goal. Because there has been enough

1:44:46 > 1:44:50time there, you don't need to call the time-out. You should be to

1:44:50 > 1:44:55communicate whatever play you need. With the penalty, the play clock

1:44:55 > 1:44:58stops.

1:45:01 > 1:45:09Not sure why they are doing that. DeShone Kizer would come over and

1:45:09 > 1:45:16talk about it. Let's go to that last player. Isaiah Crowell, he is in

1:45:16 > 1:45:20protection right in the middle of the field. You can see DeShone Kizer

1:45:20 > 1:45:26step up in the pocket and as he does so, he slips off and turns his head

1:45:26 > 1:45:35around. Great heads up play by DeShone Kizer. These open in the

1:45:35 > 1:45:47field putting it forward.

1:45:47 > 1:45:55Little bit of a merry-go-round at quarterback. Dish showing Kaiser and

1:45:55 > 1:46:10Cody Kessler has seen action.Trying to hope that this showing Kaiser is

1:46:10 > 1:46:20the answer for a long time now. Pushing his way to about the one.

1:46:20 > 1:46:26Don't need to call time out, you can take your time and huddle up. Have

1:46:26 > 1:46:31about a minute to go and you have the ball up the 1-yard line. Take

1:46:31 > 1:46:37your time, everybody stay composed. You still have the time-out is in

1:46:37 > 1:46:59your pocket.2nd & goal from the one. Isaiah Crowell.Using the

1:46:59 > 1:47:05second time out in the first half. Coming into today, the Vikings had

1:47:05 > 1:47:10only given up one rushing touchdown in the season. The Browns scoring

1:47:10 > 1:47:14their touchdown run early on in the first quarter. If you are the

1:47:14 > 1:47:21Browns, you can try a play action pass. If it is there, great. If not,

1:47:21 > 1:47:24throw it away and you can ultimately go for it on 4th down, if you want

1:47:24 > 1:47:31to.If you are Cleveland, outside of the football game, what do you have

1:47:31 > 1:47:40to lose?That goes into it. You want to come away with a touchdown here.

1:47:40 > 1:47:47Don't be surprised if they try a play action. Ultimately thinking

1:47:47 > 1:47:54they can go for it on fourth, if they need to.Into the end zone, for

1:47:54 > 1:48:04that touchdown.

1:48:10 > 1:48:18Kizer's third rushing touchdown.You saw the confusion they were trying

1:48:18 > 1:48:23to cause by having a spread formation then be shifted everybody

1:48:23 > 1:48:27back inside to get the push in the middle and Kizer coming up with the

1:48:27 > 1:48:39big points.Zane Gonzalez. This one is good. 40 seconds to play in the

1:48:39 > 1:48:44first half and Kizer, a happy camper.Running it right in the

1:48:44 > 1:48:50middle of the field. Johnson, getting hold of him trying to keep

1:48:50 > 1:48:55him out of there. You could see the group celebration, not sure what

1:48:55 > 1:49:02that means, but it obviously they have worked on that. But with 42

1:49:02 > 1:49:07seconds left, remember I said, everybody relax. The Browns called

1:49:07 > 1:49:11the time-out. The reason you relax and take up some of the time, then

1:49:11 > 1:49:14you score on the next down and it only takes two seconds on the

1:49:14 > 1:49:19Vikings will have 40 seconds and they have all three time-outs. If

1:49:19 > 1:49:25you are the Vikings with 40 seconds, you can use the middle of the field.

1:49:25 > 1:49:30When I said 42 seconds and relax, there isn't panic mode at that

1:49:30 > 1:49:36point. You have the time-out in your pocket. We will see if that comes

1:49:36 > 1:49:43back to haunt them when Minnesota get the ball.Two yards deep in the

1:49:43 > 1:49:57end zone. Forward to about the 22-yard line. Sammie Coates makes

1:49:57 > 1:50:02the stock. Here comes Keenum, all three time-outs remaining and 43

1:50:02 > 1:50:08seconds on the clock.I would be shocked if Cleveland doesn't put

1:50:08 > 1:50:15about two safeties to 20, 20 five yards deep. Force Minnesota to keep

1:50:15 > 1:50:17it underneath, make the tackle, make them use the time-outs if they are

1:50:17 > 1:50:25able to force that. Cleveland has gone middle of the field, high, deep

1:50:25 > 1:50:35safety. One deep safety beyond the 40-yard line.Keenum. Flip it out

1:50:35 > 1:50:38here and complete to McKinnon. McKinnon on the sideline makes it

1:50:38 > 1:50:45across the 40-yard line before he is knocked out at the 42.Like I said

1:50:45 > 1:50:48Minnesota going man-to-man coverage on the 3rd & 12 and they gave up the

1:50:48 > 1:50:52long completion to Cleveland and allowed the drive to keep going. I

1:50:52 > 1:50:58was surprised Cleveland didn't go cover. When you are man-to-man, the

1:50:58 > 1:51:04quarterback buys time. You will find someone that gets away with it. Now

1:51:04 > 1:51:10you have to Buchel appear for the final 25 seconds.That was a 20 yard

1:51:10 > 1:51:16pick-up, Keenum. Rid of it in a hurry and complete. Intended for

1:51:16 > 1:51:25Adam Phelan. Give Greg Williams credit, he not only backed it up, he

1:51:25 > 1:51:31backed it up and blitzed the corner. He doubled down on the game on the

1:51:31 > 1:51:391st down.Was he fund to talk to yesterday.I don't know why I am

1:51:39 > 1:51:42shocked with those choices with the intensity Greg Williams brings to

1:51:42 > 1:52:01everything. 2nd & 10. 22 seconds on the clock. Time-out was called. By

1:52:01 > 1:52:07Minnesota.

1:52:11 > 1:52:17Minnesota comes into this game with a one-game lead on the Green Bay

1:52:17 > 1:52:22Packers in the NFC North. They are at five an two. The Packers at four

1:52:22 > 1:52:29and three. Detroit at three and three. AFC North, Cleveland is

1:52:29 > 1:52:36chasing everybody. Pittsburgh five an two Baltimore at four and four.

1:52:36 > 1:52:40Both these teams will hit the biweekly today's games when they go

1:52:40 > 1:52:44back to The States. As you said, Minnesota in position right now in

1:52:44 > 1:52:53the NFC North.If you can get time I would go double move down here.

1:52:53 > 1:53:00Jordan has been sitting on those com backgrounds. Keenum throwing far

1:53:00 > 1:53:05side of the field and wide-open is McKinnon. Inside the 45 and down at

1:53:05 > 1:53:16about the 42.McKinnon sneaking out the backside, unable to get

1:53:16 > 1:53:26uncovered. He is working that side, trying to come over. He speaks at.

1:53:26 > 1:53:30It is fine staying in balance, you don't have to get to the boundary

1:53:30 > 1:53:37with the time-outs in your pocket. 16 yard gain to the 42 and 12

1:53:37 > 1:53:40seconds on the clock. Minnesota uses its second time-out. Each team now

1:53:40 > 1:53:47has one remaining and there is Mike Zimmer.It is important with the one

1:53:47 > 1:53:50time-out in your pocket you can still work the middle of the field,

1:53:50 > 1:53:56get yourself in position to get a closer field goal. Right now, it

1:53:56 > 1:54:03would be a 60 yard field goal. Try and pick up some more yards I get to

1:54:03 > 1:54:13the middle of the field.Far side of the field and that is Rudolph with

1:54:13 > 1:54:18the catch. Stopping the clock with eight seconds.You still have time

1:54:18 > 1:54:21for another play.

1:54:28 > 1:54:32Same thing because Rudolph was able to get out of bounds, now you can

1:54:32 > 1:54:38work the middle of the field, try and get a little bit close.Keep

1:54:38 > 1:54:41your eye on McKinnon. Coming out of the backfield, nobody covered him

1:54:41 > 1:54:52the zone.Five-man rush. Keenum throwing this side of the field.

1:54:52 > 1:54:57Caught inside the 20-yard line and out of bounds.Laquon Treadwell out

1:54:57 > 1:55:04of bounds at the 16-yard line with three seconds to play. That will

1:55:04 > 1:55:12bring on Kai Forbath.He doesn't have much time. You have a time-out

1:55:12 > 1:55:19but he is trying to fend off, if he had stayed inbound, and danced

1:55:19 > 1:55:24around long enough, the time runs out. Fortunately for Minnesota, he

1:55:24 > 1:55:30got the foot on the edge and it gives Kai Forbath an attempt.Kai

1:55:30 > 1:55:35Forbath, from 34. And the kick is good.

1:55:47 > 1:55:52Studio-macro looks like we have got a good game. Second quarter and both

1:55:52 > 1:55:58teams playing tough. The Vikings managed to the offense going, and

1:55:58 > 1:56:06they are living up the Mike Brown liking the celebration. Sand-macro,

1:56:06 > 1:56:09galvanising the defense. We talked about how important the drive was

1:56:09 > 1:56:13about the young quarterback and the Browns, completed a fantastic pass

1:56:13 > 1:56:17before that. The quarterback sneak into the end zone, he is happy about

1:56:17 > 1:56:23back? Field goal at the end takes the sting out of it a little bit as

1:56:23 > 1:56:32far as the man it daily-macro Minnesota Vikings are concerned.

1:56:32 > 1:56:3713-12 the Browns go in to the half-time. Extra points on both

1:56:37 > 1:56:44sides, outscored on the total yardage and passing yardage. But now

1:56:44 > 1:56:51edged with the run game for Cleveland. So, we have done to death

1:56:51 > 1:56:57the fact Cleveland are winners, they came into this with everybody

1:56:57 > 1:57:01expecting them not to win. We keyed in the significance of starting

1:57:01 > 1:57:06strong and playing strongly. You made the point how much this team

1:57:06 > 1:57:10seems to play for Hue Jackson. Even if they are going badly, they come

1:57:10 > 1:57:18out and play for their coach.He is a likeable guy, you want to win and

1:57:18 > 1:57:22play for him. He is a player's coach and these guys know how important it

1:57:22 > 1:57:27is to come out with the victory.It was an important start, given the

1:57:27 > 1:57:33fact the Vikings have handled the football so well all season. Only

1:57:33 > 1:57:38two interceptions coming into this game for Minnesota. And then they

1:57:38 > 1:57:49give up a pick?Keenum, who is quite short for a quarterback, has to be

1:57:49 > 1:57:56aware. They broke wide-open with two good plays in a row. Watch the

1:57:56 > 1:58:02block. Right on the second level. Finishes off twice, the linebacker

1:58:02 > 1:58:07cannot make a play and he is in. There was some confusion, they lined

1:58:07 > 1:58:10up wrong, did know where they were. You could tell with how they were

1:58:10 > 1:58:14pointing at each other. That is how big plays happen when you don't line

1:58:14 > 1:58:20up and do your responsibility.How frustrating is it for everybody else

1:58:20 > 1:58:24on the team when your kicker misses a routine extra point?Nobody wants

1:58:24 > 1:58:28to see that but you can expect something like that happen for

1:58:28 > 1:58:31Cleveland. They have played well in this game, I like the way they play

1:58:31 > 1:58:36with passion and enthusiasm. It seems they keep making mistakes that

1:58:36 > 1:58:40might cost them in the end.Despite how hard they were playing they let

1:58:40 > 1:58:45the Vikings back into it. Mike was talking about how Minnesota were

1:58:45 > 1:58:50trying to work out this Cleveland defense. Keenum has been the target

1:58:50 > 1:58:55regularly this season?It is broken play, and that is their specialty.

1:58:55 > 1:59:02Thielen has a knack for finding open spaces in the zone. When Keenum has

1:59:02 > 1:59:06two scramble, that is when it is important. He doesn't look to the

1:59:06 > 1:59:09corner until the very last instance which doesn't give the safety any

1:59:09 > 1:59:15time to get over there.The contrast about Kizer, he was being incredibly

1:59:15 > 1:59:21open and not looking where he was going?They are not comfortable

1:59:21 > 1:59:25enough to use their eyes and go away from their receiver, because it is

1:59:25 > 1:59:29hard to come back, it is risky. It is hard to going comeback but you

1:59:29 > 1:59:33have to. Because they will look where you're going and they will go

1:59:33 > 1:59:40there.Kizer, pressure on his shoulders trying to get this Browns

1:59:40 > 1:59:45offensive going. 3rd down, three and out and they would have had the

1:59:45 > 1:59:52Vikings in a decent field position. Kizer comes with this? It is not an

1:59:52 > 1:59:56easy thing to do to throw the ball like that. You see him pushes way

1:59:56 > 2:00:00through to the end zone. He has made some good players here and there to

2:00:00 > 2:00:05keep this Cleveland Browns team in the game.Good job by Lewis. Kizer

2:00:05 > 2:00:09is throwing the ball to his outside shoulder because the defender is on

2:00:09 > 2:00:13the inside. Lewis has react to that and give himself the room on the

2:00:13 > 2:00:18outside to make the catch.They had it open on Harrison Smith and

2:00:18 > 2:00:24overthrow it. They came back to it and it works.

2:00:24 > 2:00:28What did you make of DeShone Kizer's performance in the first half?He's

2:00:28 > 2:00:35playing well. He needs to slow the game down. He's got a great defense.

2:00:35 > 2:00:41That little shovelled to Johnson, both of those guys recognising the

2:00:41 > 2:00:45situation and then acting on it. DeShone Kizer realises everything is

2:00:45 > 2:00:48broken down and he comes out and Johnson gets downfield a couple of

2:00:48 > 2:00:55yards to the ball.Nik says Vikings needs to wear the Browns with longer

2:00:55 > 2:01:00drives. Is there a danger that the intensity at which the Browns are

2:01:00 > 2:01:05playing on both sides, eventually the Vikings will grind them down?

2:01:05 > 2:01:11The Vikings are the better team. I liked the way the Cleveland Browns

2:01:11 > 2:01:13are playing. They are playing with pressure like they want to win this

2:01:13 > 2:01:18football game. I don't they wear them down yet.Interesting to see

2:01:18 > 2:01:25how they react to what was a toughly fought first half as far as

2:01:25 > 2:01:28Minnesota were concerned. Second-half action coming your way

2:01:28 > 2:01:31in a bit. It's been a closely fought NFL season so far as we reach the

2:01:31 > 2:01:36halfway point of the season. Let's look at a few of the stars of our

2:01:36 > 2:01:43leading the way. -- that are leading the way.

2:01:51 > 2:01:56DANCE MUSIC

2:03:13 > 2:03:16Some of the stars of the season so far and they don't come much bigger

2:03:16 > 2:03:22than my next guest in the studio. Three time probe bowler electrifying

2:03:22 > 2:03:29footballer. Josh Cribbs has dogged by. How are you doing? -- dropped

2:03:29 > 2:03:36by.Angered.

2:03:38 > 2:03:43It's great to see you.How was London treating you? I'm loving it.

2:03:43 > 2:03:49Having a great time. Browns are playing decent. Can't get better

2:03:49 > 2:03:54than this.You were a kick return specialist. What is the key to that?

2:03:54 > 2:04:01Following your blocks. They don't see the play and workmanship that

2:04:01 > 2:04:08goes into it and the vision, but it's following your blocks, and

2:04:08 > 2:04:14taking it down the field.Added that of speed comes into it as well.It

2:04:14 > 2:04:19is vision and knowing where the guys are supposed to be.Instinct as

2:04:19 > 2:04:26well?Definitely.The rules changed in 2011 and you were not thrilled by

2:04:26 > 2:04:32that?No, because it takes the opportunity for guys like myself to

2:04:32 > 2:04:37play along extended career in the NFL, going away from the return

2:04:37 > 2:04:44specialist. The receiver, the third guy on the line-up, or the third

2:04:44 > 2:04:51back.The ball was spotted on the 35 which gives an advantage to the

2:04:51 > 2:04:55receiving team. Making a name on a roster in the NFL for something like

2:04:55 > 2:05:03that as a way forward. It's a starting job.Yes, definitely. 0.1%

2:05:03 > 2:05:10chance of making it to the NFL, so getting there by itself is a great

2:05:10 > 2:05:16achievement, but to have success, you can ask these guys here, who

2:05:16 > 2:05:20have been there and done it, you take nothing away just from being

2:05:20 > 2:05:24able to step on the field with the greatest athletes in the world.What

2:05:24 > 2:05:29do you make of the International series in London and the rise of the

2:05:29 > 2:05:32game globally?It is long overdue, it's about time and hopefully next

2:05:32 > 2:05:37year they will play more games over here and they will have the system

2:05:37 > 2:05:41to have football over here and we will come over more and more. Not

2:05:41 > 2:05:45just in London but other countries as well. Adopting the NFL plan.

2:05:45 > 2:05:51Playing more and more football.In terms of the demise of NFL Europe,

2:05:51 > 2:06:02which was a great devout mental -- developmental way of letting your

2:06:02 > 2:06:07trade, with some great success stories, that has gone down. Do you

2:06:07 > 2:06:12think the NFL will return it and play regular-season games in Europe?

2:06:12 > 2:06:18It wasn't as popular because the NFL Europe, compared to Triple-A, in

2:06:18 > 2:06:23baseball, it's more popular to have the real guys, the professionals,

2:06:23 > 2:06:28the best of the best and that's what you see on the field now and that's

2:06:28 > 2:06:32why the stadium is sold out for the fourth time this season. They want

2:06:32 > 2:06:37to see the best of the best player and that brings out the best fans.A

2:06:37 > 2:06:41lot of different jerseys for the I hope some Cribbs jerseys. Oh yes,

2:06:41 > 2:06:48I've seen that. You are a return specialist, but back in college you

2:06:48 > 2:06:53played differently?Yes, quarterback. I didn't say I want to

2:06:53 > 2:06:57play the quarterback in the NFL as a kid, I just wanted to make it and I

2:06:57 > 2:07:00used to joke around and say I will play whatever position you want me

2:07:00 > 2:07:05to play. Just to be on the field. The greatest athletes in the world

2:07:05 > 2:07:12play on this field. It's an honour to have that barge, the NFL. I take

2:07:12 > 2:07:18nothing away to take things from you guys, no matter what position.We

2:07:18 > 2:07:25were playing Cleveland, I forget the year, and he'd tell me, don't take

2:07:25 > 2:07:32it to me. The ball was kicked directly to him. I have never seen

2:07:32 > 2:07:37the coach that angry in my entire life. Why would you do that? It was

2:07:37 > 2:07:45hilarious. I always think about that.Let's talk about this game,

2:07:45 > 2:07:48Josh, because the Browns are playing hard, not for the first time this

2:07:48 > 2:07:55season.Yes, they are the youngest team in the NFL and when you look

2:07:55 > 2:07:58out there and see how good they are playing, coaching has a lot to do

2:07:58 > 2:08:02with that but the mistakes they are making is because they are very

2:08:02 > 2:08:09young and inexperienced. A touchdown the Vikings had, it was a cover, and

2:08:09 > 2:08:13it's come from inexperience, the safety. When he doesn't have an

2:08:13 > 2:08:18outside threat, he is opposed to back up further and give the safety

2:08:18 > 2:08:23more help and that was not done. Use the little titbits on special teams

2:08:23 > 2:08:28because they are so young and inexperienced.It's a good point

2:08:28 > 2:08:33that the youngest in the NFL. A lot of people are getting in touch with

2:08:33 > 2:08:43us saying they backed the wrong player with Watson.I have mixed

2:08:43 > 2:08:46feelings on that because Cleveland fans are so die-hard. They want the

2:08:46 > 2:08:54best of the best all the time, the number one guy. It's not that we

2:08:54 > 2:08:57don't drive well, the number one pixel usually pick don't necessarily

2:08:57 > 2:09:03pan out for us. They go in a different direction. Different is

2:09:03 > 2:09:07good when the same old way has not given success to the team. We

2:09:07 > 2:09:10haven't had success lately. I'm on board with how different they are

2:09:10 > 2:09:17now.The second half is about to get under way. A quick prediction?

2:09:17 > 2:09:23Vikings won't win. Browns will win the first game in London.Great to

2:09:23 > 2:09:27see you.Appreciated.

2:09:41 > 2:09:45COMMENTATOR: Mike Zimmer said some frustrations in terms of Cleveland's

2:09:45 > 2:09:49defends that when they show a soft cover and a bunch of different

2:09:49 > 2:09:52pressures, he wants Case Keenum to be more patient in that respect.

2:09:52 > 2:09:59What he said to us if they have tried rushing to DeShone Kizer but

2:09:59 > 2:10:06they are moving their defense to quickly. Mike Remmers, we saw him go

2:10:06 > 2:10:09out with concussion. He has been downgraded to out.Thank you very

2:10:09 > 2:10:26much.He's lost the football. Covered by the Vikings!

2:10:28 > 2:10:33That is exactly what the Vikings' defense is trying to do. To start

2:10:33 > 2:10:38this half off and that has been a problem for the Browns all season.

2:10:38 > 2:10:44The ratio coming into today. The ball getting ripped out. Harris

2:10:44 > 2:10:52falls on it on the 30-yard line. The Vikings are all set.

2:11:06 > 2:11:11About the 27-yard line.Theirs is the same spot in the first couple

2:11:11 > 2:11:18where the Browns had that big return and Minnesota got the ball in that

2:11:18 > 2:11:22area and the Cleveland defense held strong and force them to a field

2:11:22 > 2:11:30goal. Now the Browns' defense is putting the same thing on them.

2:11:30 > 2:11:35Cleveland in jeopardy here. 2nd & 8.

2:11:38 > 2:11:48Complete. That is Kyle Rudolph. The 25-yard line. Kyle Rudolph, he

2:11:48 > 2:11:57doesn't like Jason Whitten, too much.He was very comp entry and he

2:11:57 > 2:12:01wants to emulate some of the things Jason is done in his career. He has

2:12:01 > 2:12:07great respect for him, not only as a receiver but the fact he blocks as

2:12:07 > 2:12:15well and he wants to emulate his game.Incomplete. Inside the 25-yard

2:12:15 > 2:12:23line, Adam Thielen could not hold on.A great response. In the first

2:12:23 > 2:12:34half they held them to a two goal attempt.This will be from 43 yards.

2:12:42 > 2:12:46Remember the Browns got a hand on the ball. Said they do have a

2:12:46 > 2:12:55blocker. Kick on its way. Line drive. It is good. So, off the

2:12:55 > 2:13:00turnover, the Vikings regain the lead. 15-13. 13 and a half to play

2:13:00 > 2:13:09in the third. Trafalgar Square, London England.

2:13:09 > 2:13:15STUDIO: Hall of Famer is with us now. Chris, it's a pleasure and an

2:13:15 > 2:13:20honour.How was London treating you? London is awesome. We've had a great

2:13:20 > 2:13:26time here, spent a lot of time visiting with the people, doing

2:13:26 > 2:13:31shopping, 84,000 plus people here watching this game. It's been

2:13:31 > 2:13:39amazing.We have seen guys have checked jacket on the sideline.

2:13:39 > 2:13:43That's the most impressive jacket I have seen.This old thing?

2:13:43 > 2:13:49LAUGHTER It isn't the age of the things.It

2:13:49 > 2:13:56is what it says.It just reminds me how significant and how much it

2:13:56 > 2:14:03means to be able to wear the shield of the pro football Hall of Fame and

2:14:03 > 2:14:07what it means to, not only the league, but what it means to one of

2:14:07 > 2:14:10the fans, and this is an amazing opportunity to be able to be here

2:14:10 > 2:14:14today and share this with the people.We were talking down on the

2:14:14 > 2:14:19field before the game, this is a very small and exclusive club.

2:14:19 > 2:14:26There's a very tiny exclusive club at the top of it.I don't want to

2:14:26 > 2:14:30embarrass the guy but this is my idol right here. I am shaking right

2:14:30 > 2:14:35now. I met him in 2002. I was coming out of college and I asking for an

2:14:35 > 2:14:38autograph and I still had it. One of the greatest players the NFL has

2:14:38 > 2:14:48ever seen.That is a testament of there's no fan, nobody, bigger than

2:14:48 > 2:14:52the fans. There is no one that stands up and says, you know what, I

2:14:52 > 2:14:58am too good to sign an autograph. I remember other players coming out

2:14:58 > 2:15:04and obviously destined for greatness, and a lot of other guys

2:15:04 > 2:15:08in his class but there was an honour for me to be part of it. To share

2:15:08 > 2:15:11that with him. And share some of the things you've experienced along the

2:15:11 > 2:15:14way.

2:15:14 > 2:15:18Talk about when you found that you are going to make it into the Hall

2:15:18 > 2:15:20of Fame, given everything you'd achieved in your career, what did

2:15:20 > 2:15:25the moment he found out the like? That moment was unbelievable. I

2:15:25 > 2:15:29mean, you can't even imagine. I truly felt that if I was even

2:15:29 > 2:15:32mentioned in the company of members of the Hall of Fame, that would have

2:15:32 > 2:15:37been a huge accomplishment for me but to be able to go in and become a

2:15:37 > 2:15:40member of the pro football Hall of fame, you can't start your career

2:15:40 > 2:15:43saying you're going to be in the Hall of Fame because so many things

2:15:43 > 2:15:48have to happen, so many things have to go right and to be a part of this

2:15:48 > 2:15:52is truly special.I hope he will stay with us for a bit longer. The

2:15:52 > 2:15:56game is back under way. -- you will stay.

2:16:04 > 2:16:08COMMENTATOR: The ball will be placed at the 31-yard line, a 72 yard

2:16:08 > 2:16:17return.Great blocking up front, great recognition, understanding the

2:16:17 > 2:16:21lanes that you have and where the blocks are going to be set up,

2:16:21 > 2:16:25Vitali with an ice block, kicking out, allowing him to get to the next

2:16:25 > 2:16:29level, and he's ripping through two arm tackles, there. Excellent field

2:16:29 > 2:16:36position for the Browns.Jabrill Peppers, the rookie, usually the

2:16:36 > 2:16:40Cleveland Browns returner, is inactive today. Isaiah Crowell

2:16:40 > 2:16:48inside the 20 and down at about the 18. Eric Kendricks and Anthony

2:16:48 > 2:16:55Harris converting to make the stop. They pull the Eli Manning, two of

2:16:55 > 2:16:58the linemen pulled to the right so the defense seed alignment poll and

2:16:58 > 2:17:02they go in the other direction. The misdirection handoff to Isaiah

2:17:02 > 2:17:11Crowell Cats the defense -- catches the defense off-guard.Crawl maybe a

2:17:11 > 2:17:18yard on two about the 17. They have been very effective in keeping

2:17:18 > 2:17:23Griffen from having much of a save. Everything has been very fast from a

2:17:23 > 2:17:26passing game standpoint, lots of quick throwing, screens, going to

2:17:26 > 2:17:31the outside. The only big throw up the field was the man-to-man

2:17:31 > 2:17:34coverage on 3rd & long white before the end of a half that they got down

2:17:34 > 2:17:39the sideline, so not many opportunities for Griffen to take

2:17:39 > 2:17:42advantage from an experienced standpoint on Spencer Drango.We

2:17:42 > 2:17:47have a time-out on the field here, unexpectedly, with 12.19 to play in

2:17:47 > 2:17:54the third. Speaking of Everson Griffen, you go up against

2:17:54 > 2:17:57Cleveland, you are usually going up against Joe Thomas but he's not

2:17:57 > 2:18:02around so here is Spencer Drango. The drawn play, there, getting him

2:18:02 > 2:18:06up the field, now on the backside, getting sealed off on the touchdown

2:18:06 > 2:18:10run. You have to remember, this defense, the defensive end are set

2:18:10 > 2:18:15up to be outside edge past rushers in a wide nine technique which, when

2:18:15 > 2:18:19I say wide nine, it is like they are lined up at a slanted angle, coming

2:18:19 > 2:18:24off, they are so wide to the outside, it requires the drop step

2:18:24 > 2:18:28for the tackle, to really get back upfield to rent the edge.Talking

2:18:28 > 2:18:32about Spencer Drango, he knew this was big-time fame.He was excited,

2:18:32 > 2:18:35we asked him if he was trepidations about going up against Everson

2:18:35 > 2:18:40Griffen and he just smiled and said, "You know what? I look at it as an

2:18:40 > 2:18:45incredible opportunity for me, going up against one of the best".Kizer,

2:18:45 > 2:18:51rolling right, getting rid of it and on the sideline, dropped. David

2:18:51 > 2:18:53Njoku.

2:18:57 > 2:19:00That's one you would like to see from David Njoku, he's able to bring

2:19:00 > 2:19:04it in and gather himself, he can work out that sideline and get past

2:19:04 > 2:19:091st down sticks. -- work out that sideline. I thought Kendricks made a

2:19:09 > 2:19:14mistake falling off the coverage and letting David Njoku go. If he

2:19:14 > 2:19:17catches that ball on the inside shoulder, he will be able to rotate

2:19:17 > 2:19:23and get down inside the 10.3rd & 9.

2:19:29 > 2:19:38Pump fade, throwing, incomplete. Ricardo Louis, closest to it,

2:19:38 > 2:19:41covered by Trae Waynes, Kizer thought is received was illegally

2:19:41 > 2:19:45bombed.There was a bomb at the top of the route by Trae Waynes and

2:19:45 > 2:19:49Ricardo Louis goes up and sits down right around ten yards, given a bit

2:19:49 > 2:19:52of a shoulder rent by Kizer to get him to bite and the intensity was to

2:19:52 > 2:19:57get to the back of the end zone. Getting Wayne Bennett will hand

2:19:57 > 2:20:00checked at the top of the route and now they have to try to field goal.

2:20:00 > 2:20:09Gonzalez from 35 yards. As Cleveland look for the lead once again. On its

2:20:09 > 2:20:13way and he missed it.

2:20:17 > 2:20:24Gonzalez pulled it to the left and the score stayed the same. 15-13,

2:20:24 > 2:20:30Minnesota. Back to Twickenham after this. STUDIO: As the game goes on,

2:20:30 > 2:20:37as you just referred to it, Chris Doleman, the Viking Sigrid weapon.

2:20:37 > 2:20:41Views, I tell you what, Cleveland is playing really well, much to my

2:20:41 > 2:20:46dismay but the thing is, these teams are the ones that make you so

2:20:46 > 2:20:50nervous because at some point in time, everyone is pretty comfortable

2:20:50 > 2:20:56in the NFL and the one who makes the least amount of mistakes is going to

2:20:56 > 2:20:59winnable game. Why now, they missed two field goals and we've got the

2:20:59 > 2:21:03opportunity to win the game but you can't go to the end because it gives

2:21:03 > 2:21:08them confidence to feel that they can play against the Vikings.The

2:21:08 > 2:21:11Vikings are in the box seat in the NFC North at the moment,

2:21:11 > 2:21:15particularly because of the injury to Aaron Rodgers, how good is this

2:21:15 > 2:21:20side?You know, it seems pretty good, three good quarterbacks,

2:21:20 > 2:21:23Bradford, Case Keenum and Teddy Bridgewater and I spoke to Teddy

2:21:23 > 2:21:26Bridgewater and explain to him that his time will come if he is patient

2:21:26 > 2:21:31and gets healthy, he's not ready to step out on the field, even if he is

2:21:31 > 2:21:35healthy because he's not played a year and a half.Would you start

2:21:35 > 2:21:41him?Absolutely not.So your study would be Sam Bradford?Case Keenum

2:21:41 > 2:21:45right now because he's playing well so why take him out? Sam has had

2:21:45 > 2:21:50problems with his knee and they are still trying to figure it out. I

2:21:50 > 2:21:53think we can get Carlos Hyde involved in the offense, who is

2:21:53 > 2:21:57going to make the running game a lot better. I think right now, the

2:21:57 > 2:22:01offensive coordinator thinks they are good enough to compete with

2:22:01 > 2:22:05anybody in the league and also the defense is better than most.How

2:22:05 > 2:22:09good is the defense, one of the best in the NFL right now?They are

2:22:09 > 2:22:14there, I'm proud of the defense and I'm proud of the defensive line

2:22:14 > 2:22:19especially.In terms of the prognosis, the vision for this

2:22:19 > 2:22:24season, the playoffs, looks like? Playoffs.How far can you go?I

2:22:24 > 2:22:28think we can go pretty deep, if we get this win, we can go into the

2:22:28 > 2:22:31second half and then we can start building home-field advantage, that

2:22:31 > 2:22:35is the focus on the team. You want to make the playoffs because he

2:22:35 > 2:22:41figured, you win ten, so out of the last six or eight games, let's go

2:22:41 > 2:22:45into the playoffs building where we can get home-field advantage, to

2:22:45 > 2:22:49control arrow destiny.Wouldn't it be great to have a Super Bowl in

2:22:49 > 2:22:58your hometown?Let me take -- tell you something, it's Minnesota that

2:22:58 > 2:23:03are due.Great to see you, Chris double. COMMENTATOR: Derrick Kindred

2:23:03 > 2:23:10up from a safety position.Once again, the defense 's challenge with

2:23:10 > 2:23:13responding after a negative play, Gonzalez with the missed field goal

2:23:13 > 2:23:17after earlier clanking an extra point off the upright. We will have

2:23:17 > 2:23:20to see what his mental status is going to be at the game goes on and

2:23:20 > 2:23:23if it comes down to a crucial kick at the end where that he is going to

2:23:23 > 2:23:36deliver. -- whether he is.Loss of six, 2nd & 16. Case Keenum, McKinnon

2:23:36 > 2:23:44was blocking, out across the 32 about the 31. -- the 30, two about.

2:23:44 > 2:23:48One of the first times today that screenplay has worked, McKinnon

2:23:48 > 2:23:57working to the outside left, backing up, containing it -- Riley Reiff

2:23:57 > 2:23:59allowing it to develop. The Browns have been all over the screenplay

2:23:59 > 2:24:03and that time they were able to take advantage and get a big game, the

2:24:03 > 2:24:08Vikings.Talking about the mental condition of Gonzalez down the

2:24:08 > 2:24:11stretch what about the team? Cridge mag at the defense were energised

2:24:11 > 2:24:17and had a good tackle on 1st down. This will be vital for them. On the

2:24:17 > 2:24:21quick slap, backed down from behind, Phelan wants an interference call on

2:24:21 > 2:24:30Jamar Taylor. Not happening.That is a good call, it was behind him, I

2:24:30 > 2:24:34think that if Case Keenum had put it more out in front, there was a

2:24:34 > 2:24:38better chance for an opportunity to get the completion but Taylor,

2:24:38 > 2:24:44coming over the back with that left arm and knocking the ball away.Back

2:24:44 > 2:24:50to the 25. That is what we were talking about for the Browns defense

2:24:50 > 2:24:53and suddenly, the offense can get back in the rhythm they had going in

2:24:53 > 2:24:56the last series.

2:25:00 > 2:25:05Fielded by trade at the 28th. Bumped out just as he crosses the 40-yard

2:25:05 > 2:25:15line. Westminster Abbey on display on the NFL network.We've had a

2:25:15 > 2:25:18couple of goalkeeper than if you don't want one you go for rugby

2:25:18 > 2:25:23player, right, at the home of rugby? Lewis Moody, England World Cup

2:25:23 > 2:25:26player, I was talking to the keeper 's early and they say being down

2:25:26 > 2:25:30close to give it another level. Did you expect the hits we have seen?To

2:25:30 > 2:25:34be honest, it's awesome to be yet, it's awesome to watch a live NFL

2:25:34 > 2:25:38match and a beer and to be here before the match and the razzmatazz

2:25:38 > 2:25:41and all the guys jumping row behind us has been phenomenal, it's like a

2:25:41 > 2:25:46rather than a game. The impact and the skills that you see from the

2:25:46 > 2:25:50players is rarely phenomenal.What I've loved about the days everyone

2:25:50 > 2:25:53has been wearing a shirt so I don't have too asked the obvious question

2:25:53 > 2:25:57but if you spin around, you have got Brandon Marshall on your back. Why

2:25:57 > 2:26:03did the Bears become your team? Simple, we were at prep school and

2:26:03 > 2:26:07one of the kids came into a show and tell and his uncle played for the

2:26:07 > 2:26:11bad and he bought in a helmet. -- brought in. I was obsessed and it

2:26:11 > 2:26:14was in the 80s and they went on to win the Super Bowl and they have not

2:26:14 > 2:26:17been so good to them but I've always been a Bears fan and it's a shame

2:26:17 > 2:26:20there were not playing today because this was the only match I could get

2:26:20 > 2:26:24to.This one is pretty special and close at the moment. Ever a thought

2:26:24 > 2:26:29that you could go and do American football after rugby?I would have

2:26:29 > 2:26:32loved to do this, if I could come back in another life, I would love

2:26:32 > 2:26:36to give American football ago, Lawrence Taylor, Walter Payton, the

2:26:36 > 2:26:40guys I loved watching when I was young in the 80s and 90s, to go out

2:26:40 > 2:26:43there and try this board because you can be so specific about the skill

2:26:43 > 2:26:49set as well. Rugby covers far more, it is more broad in terms of skill

2:26:49 > 2:26:52set and fitness where is this commie you can be really specific but I

2:26:52 > 2:26:56would love to have given it a go. Not debate you jealous but I saw the

2:26:56 > 2:27:00Browns practice on Friday and Eddie Jones, the England coach, was there,

2:27:00 > 2:27:03and BC the news that he's going to put England against Wales to have a

2:27:03 > 2:27:07scrum practice head of the internationals?That will be

2:27:07 > 2:27:16interesting and I'm sure this box will be flying!That is not but I

2:27:16 > 2:27:18love Eddie Jones because he thinks outside the box and does so many

2:27:18 > 2:27:21different things and if he is suggesting it, you'd probably need

2:27:21 > 2:27:24the thinking is good will happen. Get onto the rest of the players and

2:27:24 > 2:27:27he -- say you saw them at the Browns and they should watch out for the

2:27:27 > 2:27:31hits.Training could get Lib-Lab if they bring these boys down but I'm

2:27:31 > 2:27:35looking forward to the Six Nations as well, and watching a competent

2:27:35 > 2:27:39sport at Twickenham.Thank you.

2:27:47 > 2:27:53COMMENTATOR: Ten and a half to play in the third quarter.

2:27:53 > 2:28:02Kizer. On the move. Fakes the throw, runs the football and slides down at

2:28:02 > 2:28:09the 45-yard line. Another one of those good decisions Hue Jackson was

2:28:09 > 2:28:13talking about.Exactly what I was thinking, Hue Jackson talked about

2:28:13 > 2:28:16DeShone Kizer not forcing the ball in and understanding when to take a

2:28:16 > 2:28:19risk and we saw right there there was a flash of the running back

2:28:19 > 2:28:23underneath, it looked like he was going to try to do it, he was almost

2:28:23 > 2:28:26going to do a jump pass and throw it underneath but instead he gets the

2:28:26 > 2:28:29pump fake and gets to the outside and gains five yards.The defense

2:28:29 > 2:28:37that is third against the run in the league, Minnesota averaging giving

2:28:37 > 2:28:42up 67.5 in again, Cleveland up to 84. Duke Johnson escapes one tackle,

2:28:42 > 2:28:48gets hit by another. Penalty flags coming.

2:28:54 > 2:29:01It is going to be a facemask all. -- call.

2:29:01 > 2:29:08REFEREE:Personal foul, facemask, number 93, defense, 15-yard penalty

2:29:08 > 2:29:13added at the end of the play, 1st down.

2:29:17 > 2:29:26The right arm getting hooked across. Now, is it the call that is getting

2:29:26 > 2:29:31booed or Shamar Stephen?I don't know, I think it is the facemask, I

2:29:31 > 2:29:38guess. Plus we have a lot of Browns fans here.

2:29:46 > 2:29:51On the backfield, from the 38, quick pass to the near side and that is

2:29:51 > 2:29:56complete and out of bounds at the 35.Greg, you were talking about the

2:29:56 > 2:29:59decision-making process that Hue Jackson wants DeShone Kizer to make

2:29:59 > 2:30:03in a game. He said it is because he wanted so badly and shown Kizer

2:30:03 > 2:30:07agreed, said he can't be the guy that wants to make the 25 yard play

2:30:07 > 2:30:11every time they are on the 26-yard line, he has to make the smart play

2:30:11 > 2:30:14and make sure he keeps the ball out of harms way and his preparation for

2:30:14 > 2:30:18the games has helped in the last couple of weeks in terms of that.

2:30:18 > 2:30:21You are right and when he talked with us, he's fully aware of the

2:30:21 > 2:30:28mistakes he's made and how we as to correct them, Kizer. Under pressure,

2:30:28 > 2:30:32rolling and down inside the 35, at about the 34-yard line, Linval

2:30:32 > 2:30:34Joseph.

2:30:38 > 2:30:43When I asked him about it the other day, he said his preparation was

2:30:43 > 2:30:47good. What he has changed differently in that amount of time

2:30:47 > 2:30:52is preparing more like a coach. Coaches continually think of

2:30:52 > 2:30:55situations and continually think of the team as a whole, getting

2:30:55 > 2:31:02complimentary plate out of defensive teams, special teams and offense. He

2:31:02 > 2:31:08says he's thinking more like a coach in understanding those situations.

2:31:08 > 2:31:123rd & 6 for the Browns. Down the middle, looking for 1st down

2:31:12 > 2:31:22yardage, and he has it close to the 25-yard line. Is that a call or

2:31:22 > 2:31:27something the quarterback Caesar snap?I don't think that's a call.

2:31:27 > 2:31:33The way the plays are going, Duke Johnson was on a route to the far

2:31:33 > 2:31:41left. It has something DeShone Kizer recognised and recognised it was all

2:31:41 > 2:31:46about the quarterback.Duke Johnson inside the 22 about the 18-yard

2:31:46 > 2:31:55line. Harris making the stop. This offense looks like it's got a feel

2:31:55 > 2:32:01to it. Going into the huddle. Harrison Smith coming up into

2:32:01 > 2:32:04position to make the tackle, one of the best safeties in the NFL. Not

2:32:04 > 2:32:10able to make the tackle.Duke Johnson bouncing out of the middle.

2:32:10 > 2:32:16A little extra yardage. 1st down at about 13.Something we don't

2:32:16 > 2:32:19normally see from the Vikings is missed tackles and missed

2:32:19 > 2:32:23opportunities. This could have been a tackle for no gain. Two dies in a

2:32:23 > 2:32:32good position. Duke Johnson continues to bounce through.Kizer,

2:32:32 > 2:32:37as penalty markers fly, gets to about 11. Markers down on this side

2:32:37 > 2:32:39of the field.

2:32:51 > 2:32:57Hands to the face, number 29, on the defense. 5-yard penalty added at the

2:32:57 > 2:33:05end of the play. 1st down. Quarterback Rhodes guilty of the

2:33:05 > 2:33:11penalty call. -- cornerback. That will move the Browns even closer.

2:33:11 > 2:33:20Line of scrimmage at six.The way the Browns are running the football,

2:33:20 > 2:33:24you have to stick with the downs here. If you commit to many guys

2:33:24 > 2:33:31inside the box, man to man, you could move to the outside.That's

2:33:31 > 2:33:44about a yard from Isaiah Crowell. Looks like the Vikings were thinking

2:33:44 > 2:33:47the same thing, sticking with the run, so put guys on the inside and

2:33:47 > 2:34:02make sure we wrap up. Seven Rush and two pass on this.Cleveland with

2:34:02 > 2:34:08five first downs this quarter. The Vikings without one yet. Isaiah

2:34:08 > 2:34:17Crowell in the backfield. Kizer got rid of it. It's bounced in the air,

2:34:17 > 2:34:34almost intercepted. Incomplete at the five. The intended target was

2:34:34 > 2:34:42David Njoku.It was nearly Terence Newman for 97 the other way.

2:34:42 > 2:34:46Cleveland is turning the ball over six times in the red zone, the most

2:34:46 > 2:34:55in the NFL. That has been a huge problem for Kizer. 3rd & goal. Kizer

2:34:55 > 2:34:59lobs it. Traffic jam in the end zone. They want a penalty Mark

2:34:59 > 2:35:10Abbott one isn't forthcoming. -- they want a penalty Mark Abbott --

2:35:10 > 2:35:15penalty marker.

2:35:17 > 2:35:24If you keep an eye on Bryce Treggs coming underneath, he's on the

2:35:24 > 2:35:30outside running a slant. Nobody covers rice dregs because Rhodes

2:35:30 > 2:35:34ends up getting coalition. After the play Bryce Treggs is jumping up and

2:35:34 > 2:35:45down.Gonzales from 23 yards. A fan favourite here in London, with the

2:35:45 > 2:35:53field goal. STUDIO: IRONIC CHEERS To Twickenham as Gonzales is good

2:35:53 > 2:36:02for the field goal. We talks about of tight ends as a comfort blanket

2:36:02 > 2:36:08for young quarterbacks. You talked about something interesting with the

2:36:08 > 2:36:11David Njoku play that was unsuccessful but interesting, the

2:36:11 > 2:36:17way the tight end is a reassuring target in this situation.It's a big

2:36:17 > 2:36:24target, easy for a young quarterback. When it went to him,

2:36:24 > 2:36:29almost intercepted, the tight end did not cause the turnover, giving

2:36:29 > 2:36:33him confidence to come back to him again.We have seen other players

2:36:33 > 2:36:38like Julius Thomas, and we disagreed about whether it was his fault or

2:36:38 > 2:36:43not, if the tight end isn't going to play the ball, it's a high-risk

2:36:43 > 2:36:48situation. What about the red zone offense? How the offense and

2:36:48 > 2:36:52quarterback has to change the way he plays?The problem in the red zone

2:36:52 > 2:36:56is simple, the field shrinks for you, so you don't have room for

2:36:56 > 2:37:00receivers to get themselves open. It changes the way you get covered as

2:37:00 > 2:37:05well. You saw what they tried to do on the second play, set the pick and

2:37:05 > 2:37:09have one guy opened by hitting the defensive back. There was

2:37:09 > 2:37:12miscommunication because they went for the wrong receiver. He's trying

2:37:12 > 2:37:20to call the interference call, which is silly.The flag wasn't coming. A

2:37:20 > 2:37:27rookie question from Phil, thanks for getting in touch. Can you please

2:37:27 > 2:37:31explain what the pocket is, it's a term we hear a lot. We have enough

2:37:31 > 2:37:42quarterbacks here!The pocket is where the quarterback stands. A lot

2:37:42 > 2:37:47of times you need to keep a clean pocket for the quarterback. What's

2:37:47 > 2:37:50between the quarterback, the defensive line and offensive line.

2:37:50 > 2:37:54That little area there, he needs to stay in that area and make his

2:37:54 > 2:37:58decisions from there.It kind of curves as the tackle drops back.

2:37:58 > 2:38:03They are keeping him protected in that pocket. We hear about pocket

2:38:03 > 2:38:06boys as well, quarterbacks either have it or they don't.Tom Brady is

2:38:06 > 2:38:10one of the best right now. The way he moves in the pocket, creating

2:38:10 > 2:38:16space for himself, he's the best at it.Without having to run out of it.

2:38:16 > 2:38:21He just steps one way and the other. In the Super Bowl they didn't allow

2:38:21 > 2:38:26him to take a step forward, and that's how they beat him. If

2:38:26 > 2:38:29Cleveland win this game they will have exactly as many wins as the

2:38:29 > 2:38:36Giants do.You give with one hand and take with the other!My

2:38:36 > 2:38:46goodness.COMMENTATOR: Starting at the 25-yard line. Vikings players

2:38:46 > 2:38:50past and present worked with more than 100 children from around the

2:38:50 > 2:38:55London area on Friday. Many of them were wearing rugby gear, no padding,

2:38:55 > 2:39:00participating in football drills, and they were taught basic skills of

2:39:00 > 2:39:08the game. Cleveland back into the lead. Coming up on five and a half

2:39:08 > 2:39:12minutes to play. The fourth lead change of the day.

2:39:17 > 2:39:24Latavius Murray out of the backfield with Case Keenum throwing. A pick-up

2:39:24 > 2:39:32of about eight, to the 33-yard line. Looks like it'll be and two. -- 2nd

2:39:32 > 2:39:37& 2.They have had success running with McKinnon towards the end of the

2:39:37 > 2:39:42half. Now with Latavius Murray in the game, they got him involved in

2:39:42 > 2:39:48the last game with the reception. The Browns continuing to mix things

2:39:48 > 2:39:52up from the defensive play call standpoint.

2:39:59 > 2:40:05Murray with a 1st down, up to the 40-yard line. Once again we are

2:40:05 > 2:40:08seeing the defense that we saw in the first week, that they employed

2:40:08 > 2:40:13against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Christian Kirksey with the stop.

2:40:13 > 2:40:18It's a really deep guy in the safety.It's trying to eliminate the

2:40:18 > 2:40:23big play, forcing the offense to hit the intermediate type of throw. The

2:40:23 > 2:40:32safety dropping back, look how deep is. It's Campbell.Murray for two

2:40:32 > 2:40:35yards.

2:40:41 > 2:40:44The Cleveland defense have done an excellent job in stopping the

2:40:44 > 2:40:50running game. Right now, the Vikings only at 57 yards rushing. Cleveland

2:40:50 > 2:40:55coming in today, giving up 84 yards per game on the ground. Doing an

2:40:55 > 2:41:00excellent job in stopping the Vikings rush attack.Campbell 29

2:41:00 > 2:41:07yards off the line of scrimmage in the secondary. Case Keenum with the

2:41:07 > 2:41:25throw at 2nd & 9. On the far side of the field.A double move that he

2:41:25 > 2:41:32does here. The throw is a little bit behind him. It's the pressure Case

2:41:32 > 2:41:42Keenum asunder.As a quarterback when you step up, you see a deep

2:41:42 > 2:41:46guy, is that meant to discourage you going deeper?It's meant to

2:41:46 > 2:41:49discourage or going deep if you have a deep play in the middle of the

2:41:49 > 2:41:52field. It usually means they are there to protect the deep throw. If

2:41:52 > 2:41:58you go either side of the sideline, it gives you the angles to go over

2:41:58 > 2:42:04there and help on that type of throw. If you have two deep liars

2:42:04 > 2:42:12than it eliminates that even more. McKinnon in the backfield. 2nd & 9.

2:42:12 > 2:42:20Case Keenum throws. McKinnon is side to 25. To the 20. It will be 1st

2:42:20 > 2:42:28down.You're seeing these underneath throws. Latavius Murray called one

2:42:28 > 2:42:33from the backfield earlier. What they are doing defensively is

2:42:33 > 2:42:39testing the quarterback. Will he be patient enough to do the checkdowns

2:42:39 > 2:42:42and hit the underneath throws, or will he pushed to that second or

2:42:42 > 2:42:48third level to get away downfield. So far Case Keenum has done a good

2:42:48 > 2:42:51job being patient.

2:42:57 > 2:43:05McKinnon, out of bounds at 15. Run out by Boddy-Calhoun. We are in the

2:43:05 > 2:43:10last two minutes of the third quarter.We will give that to

2:43:10 > 2:43:13McKinnon, great individual effort. The play was supposed to go inside

2:43:13 > 2:43:17in between the guards at the line of scrimmage. Because of that collapse

2:43:17 > 2:43:21defense committee is getting congratulations at the side. When

2:43:21 > 2:43:25those bodies collapse inside he has speed and ability to get around the

2:43:25 > 2:43:32edge.He takes a breather. Murray onto the field. 2nd & 4, Case Keenum

2:43:32 > 2:43:37rolling, looking and throwing to the end zone. He overthrows everybody.

2:43:37 > 2:43:50Penalty markers fly. Covered by Boddy-Calhoun.Tim Thelen did a good

2:43:50 > 2:43:57job of reacting to that.Pass interference, defense number 20.

2:43:57 > 2:44:081-yard line, 1st & goal.Adam Phelan, he gets a chuck there. Case

2:44:08 > 2:44:16Keenum was throwing that ball the way. -- adamant Adam

2:44:16 > 2:44:17Keenum was throwing that ball the way. -- adamant Adam.

2:44:26 > 2:44:41McKinnon practically untouched in the end zone for the touchdown.

2:44:42 > 2:44:47McKinnon coming round the edge. Tried to time it out. Looks like the

2:44:47 > 2:44:57Vikings will go for two. McKinnon gets tripped as he goes.Completely

2:44:57 > 2:45:02untouched to the end zone. From the 2-yard line.

2:45:10 > 2:45:18The Vikings looking for the 7-point lead. And Case Keenum is going to

2:45:18 > 2:45:25call a time-out. Each team has used a time-out in the second half, as

2:45:25 > 2:45:31Case Keenum wants to come over and talk about it a little bit.You time

2:45:31 > 2:45:37it out so you snap the ball right when McKinnon is behind Case Keenum,

2:45:37 > 2:45:41so watch as he times the snap so it times out perfectly and then Case

2:45:41 > 2:45:45Keenum is tripped up by the guard as he is holding out but CJ Ham has a

2:45:45 > 2:45:48tremendous block, kicking out the edge and allowing the kid in to turn

2:45:48 > 2:46:00up inside and get the touchdown. -- allowing McKinnon to turn up.Here,

2:46:00 > 2:46:06you have got two defenders on one receiver. Look for something to go

2:46:06 > 2:46:10with this group, working this side of the field. McKinnon making it to

2:46:10 > 2:46:15the end zone!

2:46:23 > 2:46:27So the Vikings get there one touchdown lead, 23-16 with one

2:46:27 > 2:46:32minute 16 to play.All the defense is focused on this side but McKinnon

2:46:32 > 2:46:38is going to get the ball and get right inside. Excellent double team

2:46:38 > 2:46:46at the point of attack by Isidora.I have to say, Isidora filling in for

2:46:46 > 2:46:50the injured Nick Easton.

2:46:59 > 2:47:07We talked about that two pronged game of the Minnesota Vikings.A

2:47:07 > 2:47:10week ago, it was Latavius Murray with over 100 yards rushing and
