It will be time for these two teams

to settle it.

He's going towards the

0:00:090:00:14

end zone.

Montana throws!

He's

looking downfield.

A one-man

0:00:140:00:24

wrecking crew!

How did he do that?

Unstoppable!

0:00:240:00:35

Good afternoon from Twickenham where

the NFL rolls into town for the

0:00:390:00:42

fourth and final time this season

and the race for the playoffs

0:00:420:00:45

intensifies. Today the Cleveland

Browns play an impressive Minnesota

0:00:450:00:53

Vikings looking good and dreaming

big, an appearance at Super Bowl LII

0:00:530:00:58

in front of their adoring hometown

fans.

0:00:580:01:01

So two teams with contrasting

fortunes of the season Square after

0:01:510:01:53

they took on and joining me to break

it all down, the dream team, Jason

0:01:530:01:58

Bell, two-time Super Bowl winner and

the writer and broadcaster Mike

0:01:580:02:03

Carson. If Minnesota wind as they

move to six wins and two losses,

0:02:030:02:10

borrowed the better records.

Are

they serious contenders? Yes,

0:02:100:02:14

they've gotten far but basically

back-up quarterback in. With Case

0:02:140:02:19

Keenum, they got a great defense,

good head coach who was defensively

0:02:190:02:24

minded and Green Bay do not have

Rogers.

Big-time. It seems one-sided

0:02:240:02:30

on paper but so many times this

season a result of seeing that we

0:02:300:02:36

are surprised.

Hopefully we will be

surprised today because we need is a

0:02:360:02:39

good game in England. The last

couple of games have not been great.

0:02:390:02:43

Diplomatically put. Jason, in any

sport, the NFL are so tough

0:02:430:02:50

mentally. How do the Browns get

themselves up for a game like this?

0:02:500:02:53

They aren't professionals, leaders

in the locker room will have to do

0:02:530:02:59

say to the left put our best

performance out on the field.

This

0:02:590:03:03

has been a tough division to win

recently took as you are up against

0:03:030:03:07

the Green Bay Packers, one of the

great quarterbacks, Rogers, but he

0:03:070:03:11

is injured. They are top of the

standings. They are on a rest week

0:03:110:03:17

this week. With the erratic in

Detroit Lions have a tough game this

0:03:170:03:22

weekend. The Chicago Bears are in a

rebuilding project right now.

0:03:220:03:30

Minnesota arrived in London on

Thursday morning and got straight

0:03:300:03:32

into it, practising the same day and

the following day, we caught up with

0:03:320:03:40

their tight end Kyle Rudolph.

The

Vikings won three consecutive games

0:03:400:03:46

and remain kings of the North.

How

are you?

I can't complain. This is

0:03:460:03:57

your third time over here?

I think

it's awesome. There's obviously a

0:03:570:04:05

desire in this market force of the

fans are hungry for American

0:04:050:04:09

football. This year, we sold at four

games. Last time we played the

0:04:090:04:14

Steelers in 2013, the only game that

year.

Adrian is inside the 30. Ten.

0:04:140:04:20

Touchdown!

0:04:200:04:21

Tell me about the Vikings season so

far because you're surprised a lot

0:04:260:04:31

of people. The quarterback got hurt.

Nobody thought you would be as good

0:04:310:04:35

as you are.

I think going through

the adversity we faced last year,

0:04:350:04:40

injuries, what we have gone through

for seven weeks, young guys are

0:04:400:04:46

stepping up playing huge role for

us, so it has been good. Obviously,

0:04:460:04:50

we want to be at full strength, but

guys who are playing are playing

0:04:500:04:54

well.

What about Case Keenum, he has

really surprised a lot of people

0:04:540:04:59

were the way he has played.

It is

rare for your starting quarterback

0:04:590:05:03

to play every week, so when you have

a guide in the back role, they have

0:05:030:05:07

to do is prepare to start every

week. They don't know when they will

0:05:070:05:12

have an opportunity. We need them to

step up. Case has come off the bench

0:05:120:05:17

winning games for us. He has been a

huge player for us.

There's been an

0:05:170:05:26

injury to Aaron Rodgers, the best

quarterback in the NFL right now. No

0:05:260:05:31

one wants to see anybody get hurt.

Do you think your path to the

0:05:310:05:36

playoffs has become easier?

Obviously, the Packers are always

0:05:360:05:40

there. The Bears have won two in a

row. It is still a tough division.

0:05:400:05:51

For the last two years it has gone

to Green Bay and we don't expect

0:05:510:05:54

that to change. Super Bowl next year

will be Minnesota.

Nobody has ever

0:05:540:06:04

played in their home state. What are

your thoughts on them? Do you think

0:06:040:06:07

the Vikings could be the first team

to play in their own stadium?

Yes,

0:06:070:06:12

we have a brand-new stadium. We have

great fans in the NFL so why not

0:06:120:06:17

give them something they have been

longing for for the past 50 years in

0:06:170:06:20

this organisation? You start every

year wanting to be the world

0:06:200:06:24

champion and that is our goal. If

not, you shouldn't be out there. Why

0:06:240:06:29

not do it in our own stadium?

Let's

take a look at the other stars on

0:06:290:06:36

this Vikings roster and whizzed up

with a quarterback, Case Keenum.

0:06:360:06:41

Here's the back-up, of course. That

is because of the injury to Sam

0:06:410:06:45

Bradford.

He started pretty well.

Yes, he has been the star before.

0:06:450:06:51

The first spot starter and also took

over at the Rams. 'S biggest

0:06:510:06:55

trademark is accuracy. He can put a

big ball in. That is a well flighted

0:06:550:07:01

ball. Just in the spot where the

receiver can get it. He is mobile.

0:07:010:07:07

He loves Rudolf. He has been one of

his go to receivers all season.

0:07:070:07:15

Hanging onto the ball has been a key

part for the season. 17 for the

0:07:150:07:22

Cleveland quarterbacks. That

underlines the fact is a safe pair

0:07:220:07:27

of hands.

Yes, he is. A lot of

people did not expect him to play

0:07:270:07:31

the way he has played this season.

He has been with a couple of teams.

0:07:310:07:38

This year he has stepped up. Than

ever the new needs to do to help his

0:07:380:07:41

team win.

When Sam Bradford comes

back to fitness. Bridgwater.

That's

0:07:410:07:50

the key thing. What you want from a

back-up is what you want from a

0:07:500:07:54

starter, as well. You expect they

started to win games for you. With

0:07:540:07:58

your back-up, you don't want to lose

games. If the quarterback does not

0:07:580:08:02

turn them all over, you will be in

every game of a chance to win.

Right

0:08:020:08:06

in the thick of it is Harrison

Smith. Xavier Rhodes called the

0:08:060:08:11

heart of the defense.

He definitely

is the heart of the defense and

0:08:110:08:16

arguably the best safety in football

at this time because of how he

0:08:160:08:20

plays. What makes him so dynamic is

his ability to disguise covers. He

0:08:200:08:27

does a good job confusing opponent

quarterbacks and disguising

0:08:270:08:31

coverages and comes back with big

interceptions. He is also your

0:08:310:08:34

friend. Here's my friend, as you can

tell. That is a playwright there. He

0:08:340:08:42

was the line of scrimmage for the

big drops back in Cowbridge and

0:08:420:08:46

fills the quarterback. These are the

things he does makes everybody

0:08:460:08:49

around better because of that.

He

has got great ball skills.

A great

0:08:490:08:54

ability to get the ball, hold onto

it, does not make a lot of yards

0:08:540:08:58

after it.

Is he one of those players

who redefined the position, do you

0:08:580:09:02

think?

We have had players similar

to him like the Sean Taylor. He can

0:09:020:09:12

come down and some you. He is

playing at a high-level.

Another

0:09:120:09:18

doing that into a victim of at the

moment is the defensive end. 57 in

0:09:180:09:26

his career. Everson Griffen.

They

are missing Thomas. They are in for

0:09:260:09:34

a big problem today with this man.

Here's an outstanding defensive man,

0:09:340:09:39

the entire package, speed, power,

leveraged. He gets on his

0:09:390:09:43

quarterback on a persistent basis.

Both the guys he beat in those clips

0:09:430:09:48

were back-ups for those teams.

Joe

Thomas is out. A huge blow for them.

0:09:480:09:57

Also Garrett is not playing. They

play in the AFC North, the Browns,

0:09:570:10:04

led by Pittsburgh Steelers this

season who are in the box seat.

0:10:040:10:07

There is a gap to the Ravens and the

Cincinnati Bengals. They are looking

0:10:070:10:14

to get their account under way

today. Their playoff chances are

0:10:140:10:18

essentially done and dusted the

season but there's a lot to play for

0:10:180:10:21

with this side. Pride and the

prospect of a brighter future. Are

0:10:210:10:26

the team keeping upbeat? Caroline

caught up with Christian Kirksey to

0:10:260:10:31

find out the mood in the Browns'

camp.

0:10:310:10:36

It's a cool experience for everyone

to be together. Football family.

0:10:480:10:52

I've never played in London. A lot

of guys have not played in London,

0:10:520:10:57

as well, so we are ready to adapt to

how football is over here, how their

0:10:570:11:02

fans love it, so I think it will be

a lot of fun. I'm taking it all in

0:11:020:11:07

and I think my team-mates are doing

the same thing. Nothing is changing.

0:11:070:11:10

We are still trying to win the ball

game but enjoy the experience.

0:11:100:11:14

Because it's something different,

could it be something would

0:11:140:11:17

kick-start your season, for you?

We

want to take advantage of the

0:11:170:11:22

opportunity in each game. So this

game against the Vikings, you know,

0:11:220:11:27

we will treat it like we were in the

USA. New opponents. Starting afresh

0:11:270:11:32

every week. If we do that, the sky

is the limit for us. Our team

0:11:320:11:39

mentality, coming to London,

hopefully we can get the snowball

0:11:390:11:44

rolling.

Tennessee wins!

It has to

hurt, losing, so mentally, how do

0:11:440:11:57

you approach that?

I realise how

hard it is to win a game in the NFL.

0:11:570:12:03

Both teams are extremely talented

with talented players, so any given

0:12:030:12:07

Sunday, it's a fine line between

winning and losing, and it is

0:12:070:12:10

getting over the hump, making those

plays at the crucial moment. Every

0:12:100:12:15

game you play you have to put it

behind you and start fresh because

0:12:150:12:18

if you keep thinking of the past,

you will get the same outcome is.

0:12:180:12:22

Tough times don't last. It

eventually changes so we have to

0:12:220:12:29

keep on moving forward.

Jackson

going to put his head on the pillow

0:12:290:12:32

and have some sleep tonight. If you

are dreaming and looking at that

0:12:320:12:35

game on Sunday, where will be the

big weakness?

Every time I lay down

0:12:350:12:41

I visualise myself making the impact

play, interceptions, that's what I'm

0:12:410:12:50

working towards, trying to get

turnovers, lead the team attacking,

0:12:500:12:55

and if you do that in your mind,

played over and over again in your

0:12:550:12:59

mind, it could come true.

That they

quarterback, a big pressure on him.

0:12:590:13:07

Has he done that?

A lot of guys

around the facility are mentally and

0:13:070:13:15

physically fit, so you visualise

yourself doing a positive play. I'm

0:13:150:13:19

sure he will cope the same way,

think positive. Think about winning.

0:13:190:13:27

Here's positive.

0:13:270:13:28

We have picked out Joe Thomas, who

was out injured. He has torn his

0:13:330:13:41

triceps. It's a huge loss.

Particularly because he's such a

0:13:410:13:48

leader on the field.

No question.

Here's one of the best tacklers of

0:13:480:13:54

all-time. I've played against him

before. He had me in the witness

0:13:540:13:57

protection programme. An outstanding

football player for the Bay will

0:13:570:14:02

miss him.

He played every single

play. Since he was a rookie. He gets

0:14:020:14:09

injured for the first time and

misses that took to London.

Woeful

0:14:090:14:13

lack. Also for DeShone Kizer, the

rookie Cleveland quarterback has

0:14:130:14:19

struggled ever did a season

unsurprisingly, perhaps, so what

0:14:190:14:22

have you made up his performances so

far?

So far he has looked like a

0:14:220:14:27

rookie, made a lot of mistakes, a

lot of turnovers, and you expect

0:14:270:14:32

that. They knew he was a work in

progress and would take some time.

0:14:320:14:36

The one thing he needs to do today

is the need to stick to the shorter

0:14:360:14:41

passes, the more high percentage

throws up not turn over the ball.

0:14:410:14:44

Left his defense do a good job and

not put the team in harm 's way by

0:14:440:14:48

turning the ball over.

11

interceptions for him this season.

0:14:480:14:52

Concerned about the way his head

coach has been managing the

0:14:520:14:55

situation because he benches them,

he starts, and that can't be good

0:14:550:15:00

for his psyche, can it?

I had no

clue what Jackson is doing here.

0:15:000:15:06

Here's a young quarterback. If you

take that into England, you can't

0:15:060:15:12

affect him like that. Know this man

will be in trouble this year.

0:15:120:15:20

It is hard to figure out what they

are doing in the long term because

0:15:200:15:25

they have been accumulating draft

picks. They took Kyzer the year

0:15:250:15:31

after they took Cody Kessler. You

wonder if it is a stopgap and they

0:15:310:15:37

don't care because then they will

pick up quarterback next year.

0:15:370:15:42

Kaiser is going to need help today

and often a young quarterback looks

0:15:420:15:46

to his tight end as a comfort

blanket.

This is an athletic young

0:15:460:15:59

tight end. He can be a threat. Those

are hard throws, not a lot of space

0:15:590:16:06

you need a tight end who can get

open.

If you see Njoku, he is a

0:16:060:16:18

modern tight end.

He has caught

three of the seven passing

0:16:180:16:28

touchdowns in Cleveland have thrown

this season. He hasn't performed so

0:16:280:16:36

far this season so they are looking

for names that are not necessarily

0:16:360:16:42

as headliners. Duke Johnson being

amongst them. He is a play about,

0:16:420:16:47

running back has got into receiving

game?

What he is good at is open

0:16:470:16:53

field running. When he gets a bit of

room, he can make guys miss. It is

0:16:530:17:06

easy to make them miss. Does a good

hold on the right sideline. This is

0:17:060:17:13

what they really want him to be

doing. Nice little screen. The Jet

0:17:130:17:19

defenders run away from the

blockers. And then Duke Johnson

0:17:190:17:27

weaved his way into the end zone. If

you are defense, you know a pass is

0:17:270:17:32

coming.

Minnesota take to the field

first, let's see how the UK welcomes

0:17:320:17:36

the Vikings.

This is the North. The land of the

0:17:360:17:47

ice and snow. Home to the Warriors.

This will protect this man, it flows

0:17:470:18:03

through us all. It beats in our

hearts. Making us stronger, more

0:18:030:18:10

relentless. Transforming everything

it touches. Battle will be waged.

0:18:100:18:31

We will defend the North.

0:18:360:18:42

Here come the Minnesota Vikings. A

lot of fans out and about earlier at

0:18:490:18:53

Twickenham. One of the better loved

NFL teams in the UK. Let's talk

0:18:530:19:01

about the fearsome Vikings defense.

How will be approach DeShone Kizer?

0:19:010:19:11

They will get after him. If I was on

their team I would be thinking this

0:19:110:19:16

is an opportunity to get my stats

up, get as many seconds as I can

0:19:160:19:21

against a very weak offensive line.

Could get ugly. Cleveland need all

0:19:210:19:26

the help they can get. Being at the

home team, that is a tick in that

0:19:260:19:32

column. Here come the Cleveland

Browns.

0:19:320:19:38

Go, Browns. Let's go. I can't hear

you! Get loud. Do it.

0:19:450:20:03

The Cleveland Browns about to make

their way out. There will be some

0:20:170:20:23

first responders, the Met police,

the City of London Police, the

0:20:230:20:29

transport police and the Fire

Service making their way onto the

0:20:290:20:31

field with the Cleveland Browns.

Essential for this Browns team that

0:20:310:20:39

is very low on confidence. If you

want to get in touch this afternoon,

0:20:390:20:46

use the hash tag BBC NFL and we will

try to answer your questions during

0:20:460:20:50

the course of the programme. Pitch

side is Caroline Barker and she

0:20:500:20:54

caught up with Trent Green.

You have been there, done that and

0:20:540:21:03

won a Super Bowl as quarterback. We

have two questionable quarterbacks

0:21:030:21:08

on the field, they have made the

headlines of late, where is this one

0:21:080:21:12

won and lost for you?

It all starts

with a quarter box. The Cleveland

0:21:120:21:18

Browns Avenue DeShone Kizer, who is

up and down. He is leading the

0:21:180:21:24

interceptions, so he has had his

mistakes. But for a young player you

0:21:240:21:28

will expect those things. The thing

that gets him back in the starting

0:21:280:21:31

line-up is he is a dazzling player,

he has an incredible arm and great

0:21:310:21:38

with his feet. Has been able to, but

some of the plays for this fence the

0:21:380:21:43

Browns has been missing. That is why

he has this opportunity. And then

0:21:430:21:48

Case Keenum comedy has been in the

National Football League the six

0:21:480:21:52

years. The Vikings have two of the

quarterbacks that were injured and

0:21:520:21:56

now he's getting an opportunity to

start. This is the best he has

0:21:560:22:01

played in his career. It is his 30th

start of his NFL career. He is in a

0:22:010:22:07

good place, he understands what he

has around him. Two good running

0:22:070:22:12

backs behind him and they do a

combination of the doer of them. He

0:22:120:22:18

has the receiver, Adam Peel, so they

do have excellent defenses.

I don't

0:22:180:22:26

need to as do anything else. Who

wins it?

I would say the Vikings.

0:22:260:22:31

But is how it looks. They five and

two and Cleveland hasn't won a game

0:22:310:22:36

yet.

My defense came out, we will

let you go. Real pleasure.

0:22:360:22:48

STUDIO: As we get ready for the coin

toss, let's talk about the

0:22:480:22:53

confidence issue, because it is

vital the Browns don't get off to a

0:22:530:22:57

bad start?

What they have to look

for, the strong point of this team

0:22:570:23:01

is defense. They should try to shut

down the Minnesota running game,

0:23:010:23:05

forced Case Keenum to win it in the

air. Stefon Diggs, the running back

0:23:050:23:11

is back today. But if you put the

ball in the air, two bad things can

0:23:110:23:19

happen. That is probably their best

game plan, play tough on defense and

0:23:190:23:25

let the defense put them in a

position to win the game.

Cleveland

0:23:250:23:36

have won the toss and elected to

defer. You want the football? Good

0:23:360:23:42

luck, gentlemen.

0:23:420:23:44

STUDIO: Be played tough against the

Titans, the Browns, not the first

0:23:500:23:54

time the defense has played tough?

Their defense has played well this

0:23:540:23:59

season and that is their strong suit

right now. They should be at least

0:23:590:24:04

in this game to the end.

You have

said how good the DBs.

I think they

0:24:040:24:16

are underrated. If they can put the

ball in the air, stop the run and

0:24:160:24:20

make them put the ball in the air

they can make the plays.

We will

0:24:200:24:26

hear two national anthems, but

first, the star spangled Banner.

0:24:260:24:32

# Jose, can you see by the dorm's

early light.

0:25:070:25:16

# Oh say, does that

star spangled banner

0:26:170:26:26

# the land of the free

0:26:310:26:41

# and the home of the brave #

0:26:440:26:50

, Now the national anthem of great

Britain and Laura Wright.

0:26:500:26:59

# God save our gracious Queen.

# Long live on noble Queen.

0:26:590:27:07

# God Save The Queen.

# Send her victorious.

0:27:070:27:16

# Happy and glorious.

# Long to reign over us.

0:27:160:27:27

# God Save The Queen.

0:27:270:27:37

STUDIO: Laura Wright becoming a

fixture at these international

0:27:450:27:49

games. We

0:27:490:27:50

fixture at these international

games. We are about a minute away

0:27:500:27:52

from kick-off. We touched on the

fragility of the Browns going into

0:27:520:27:54

this game winless, but the Vikings,

who looked like the real deal, they

0:27:540:28:00

cannot get complacent because

everyone is calling them winners and

0:28:000:28:03

that is a danger strap to fall into?

Absolutely and that is what they are

0:28:030:28:09

telling themselves, don't fall into

this trap, go out and do what we do

0:28:090:28:14

well, let's win this game.

It is a

difficult day about quarterbacks.

0:28:140:28:23

The Keenum, Sam Bridgwater is

getting fit and he will want to hang

0:28:230:28:25

onto that but if he keeps playing

well, he will?

It is an opportunity

0:28:250:28:30

for him to entrench himself as a

starter on this football team. Sam

0:28:300:28:36

Bradford plays outstanding football

and Teddy Bridgewater is great, but

0:28:360:28:39

I think Cleveland Browns to win.

You

have got to back up that argument.

0:28:390:28:54

What is the case for Cleveland

winning this? They can play, it is a

0:28:540:29:00

unit that has two step up?

Defensively is where they will have

0:29:000:29:05

to win this ball game. As long as

they don't allow interceptions and

0:29:050:29:10

bacon on the football and play good

defense, they have a legitimate

0:29:100:29:13

chance of winning this game.

You

have got to an two of the phases and

0:29:130:29:18

they are bottom of the league.

I am

going with my heart.

This season has

0:29:180:29:27

been crazy in terms of results.

Baltimore and Miami, if you give up

0:29:270:29:33

two interception and a fumble return

for a touchdown...

It can happen.

0:29:330:29:39

How much can you play the talk in

fact, the London factor into it?

Who

0:29:390:29:43

ever got here earlier, which was the

Vikings, it should benefit them.

We

0:29:430:29:49

shall see. Time to get this one

under way, so I will hand you over

0:29:490:29:53

to our commentary team.

0:29:530:29:57

The Cleveland Browns have deferred

which means the Vikings will get

0:30:020:30:05

their hands on the football first.

That's going to be one of the

0:30:050:30:10

matchups today. Seeing Everson

Griffen against Griffin. That will

0:30:100:30:21

be a matchup we keep up with.

0:30:210:30:26

And we are under way in Twickenham.

There's one will not be run to the

0:30:280:30:35

end zone. The Vikings start at the

25-yard line and that will bring

0:30:350:30:41

Case Keenum. He does what they need

him to do.

He's playing the best

0:30:410:30:50

football of his six-year career when

you consider what is done in Huston

0:30:500:30:53

and then with the Rams in Saint

Lewis and Los Angeles. Now he has

0:30:530:30:59

got comfortable, he understands the

weapons he has and the game and

0:30:590:31:01

management of it all. What type of

defense he has, and has been very

0:31:010:31:06

good with the football so far this

season.

0:31:060:31:10

Murray.

0:31:130:31:15

Up to 27-yard line.

0:31:180:31:29

Stefon Diggs, questionable all week,

with an ankle injury, they have

0:31:310:31:36

sidelined him for the last two

games, but he starts today.

0:31:360:31:41

On 2nd & 8.

0:31:450:31:49

To the 33-yard line, David Morgan.

Myles Garrett suffered concussion

0:31:510:32:03

last week. 17 tackles against

Tennessee last week.

0:32:030:32:10

Third and short yardage. Case Keenum

gets his man across the 35 to the

0:32:180:32:28

38-yard line and Stefon Diggs...

He

looks out to the right flank. Stefon

0:32:280:32:38

Diggs is working from left to right

as the third progression. Case

0:32:380:32:46

Keenum does not allow that pass to

get to him.

The Vikings now from the

0:32:460:32:53

38.

0:32:530:32:54

Murray losers yardage on the play.

0:33:010:33:04

Number 55, Danny Shelton.

Minnesota

last week, he is a key part of what

0:33:100:33:19

they need, which is a deep threat.

He stretches the field and there is

0:33:190:33:23

a reason why Adam Thielen is one of

the best receivers for the Minnesota

0:33:230:33:28

Vikings because Stefon Diggs is over

16 yards reception this season.

0:33:280:33:36

Case Keenum ran out of time to tight

end Kyle Rudolph.

0:33:410:33:50

Kyle Rudolph working the middle of

the field. He was going to run out

0:33:540:34:01

but Christian Kirksey ran to the

outside. You can understand why Case

0:34:010:34:06

Keenum has been sacked four times

this season because gets rid of the

0:34:060:34:09

ball so quickly. They tried to

incorporate short passing game.

0:34:090:34:18

Jerick McKinnon makes his first

appearance of a day for Minnesota.

0:34:180:34:24

Into BA and intercepted the Browns.

Inside the 40, the linebacker Joe

0:34:240:34:35

Schobert and the point goes to

Cleveland.

The interior part of the

0:34:350:34:42

defensive line. If you are not going

to make the second, you won't get

0:34:420:34:48

the hit on the quarterback. You just

want to get your hand up and that's

0:34:480:34:54

our Carl Nassib realises he's not

going to get the sack, so tries to

0:34:540:34:57

time it out and causes the

interception.

Theirs is the kind of

0:34:570:35:03

break they need to break through the

day, Cleveland. DeShone Kizer.

0:35:030:35:12

Inside the 30. Short of the 25-yard

line is David Njoku, the tight end.

0:35:120:35:20

First round draft pick out of Miami.

DeShone Kizer, the rookie, he's had

0:35:200:35:25

so many problems this year. He has

had a rough ride. 11 interceptions

0:35:250:35:31

with the NFL but found the

consistency he needs.

He's only

0:35:310:35:34

completed 52% of his passes.

To the

touchdown. Versus Isaiah Crowell! --

0:35:340:35:46

this is.

0:35:460:35:49

26 yards. The Browns turn it over

into a touchdown.

0:35:530:36:01

He works his way right into the end

zone. Just the middle part of this

0:36:040:36:07

defense. The QuickDraw. He sees the

defense get upfield which leaves the

0:36:070:36:17

middle open. He was able to get it

in for six.

He hit the upright. That

0:36:170:36:27

is the first extra point missed all

season by Zane Gonzales.

0:36:270:36:33

We were talking about the

0:36:440:36:46

We were talking about the Browns not

getting up to a bad start. The extra

0:36:460:36:50

point notwithstanding, but Minnesota

Vikings have only thrown two picks

0:36:500:36:55

all season long and at Twickenham

that accept what they did.

They are

0:36:550:37:00

not doing much to stretch the

Browns' defense. This will be the

0:37:000:37:06

unknown bit of that play.

0:37:060:37:08

Browns' defense. This will be the

unknown bit of that play. On the

0:37:080:37:10

touchdown. When you see the replay,

he is the player they block from the

0:37:100:37:23

Bengals, and watch get out there,

two blocks. The linebacker does not

0:37:230:37:28

have a chance. He was not in a

position anyway.

They ran their play

0:37:280:37:33

quickly. You saw the

miscommunication. They would talk to

0:37:330:37:36

each other and that what happens

when you are not in the right gap.

0:37:360:37:41

He had a great year last time around

but has not stepped up yet, Isaiah

0:37:410:37:45

Crowell. What are the reasons for

that?

A lot of things have to do

0:37:450:37:51

with the offensive line. You want to

give credit to the running back when

0:37:510:37:54

things go good but in reality it's

all about the offensive line.

They

0:37:540:38:02

are trailing in a lot of games so

they have to throw the ball a lot

0:38:020:38:06

and you can't let that than a pound

the ball in those situations.

A

0:38:060:38:09

difficult start for the Vikings. How

will they respond to this? They were

0:38:090:38:16

not expecting myth that all.

No, but

when you are defensively minded

0:38:160:38:21

team, you will bounce back from

this. They are on the sidelines

0:38:210:38:26

saying, calm down, relax, stick to

the game plan, we can win this.

You

0:38:260:38:29

said there's no such thing as a sure

thing.

Everybody picks Minnesota but

0:38:290:38:36

there's no such thing. They could've

won a couple of those games.

Don't

0:38:360:38:43

write them off completely. Why is it

this season games have gone the

0:38:430:38:48

other way? What do you put it down

to?

The one sidedness of it is a big

0:38:480:38:54

surprise. Basically, the biggest

problem is the a lot of good enough

0:38:540:38:59

quarterbacks and linemen in front of

them. -- there is not a lot of good

0:38:590:39:04

quarterbacks and linesmen in front

of them. Defensively, you can feast

0:39:040:39:09

on it.

A good start for the Browns.

Let's go back to the action.

0:39:090:39:16

Once again, the Vikings start from

the 25. Points off turnovers, not an

0:39:220:39:28

area the Browns excel in. In the

first seven games they had ten

0:39:280:39:33

points off turnovers. The very last

in the table.

When you are -11 in

0:39:330:39:40

turnover ratio, and turned the ball

over as much as Cleveland, it is a

0:39:400:39:44

good start for them when they can

get the turnover converted to

0:39:440:39:47

points.

Starting from the 25. Murray

alongside him.

0:39:470:39:55

Maybe a yard. That stopped the

Cleveland defense against.

The right

0:40:000:40:07

tackle is being evaluated for a

concussion for Mike Remmers, which

0:40:070:40:11

are significant because they have an

injury on that offensive line.

He is

0:40:110:40:17

being replaced by Rashard Higgins on

2nd & 9. Murray. Brought up short at

0:40:170:40:29

the 3-yard line to make it a third

in five. Thing is getting a thin on

0:40:290:40:34

the Minnesota offensive line.

That

will hurt them. You only dress so

0:40:340:40:43

many guys. We could go against

Baltimore. All of a sudden that they

0:40:430:40:47

had another injury, we would have to

put a tight end on that offensive

0:40:470:40:51

line so we need to keep an eye on

that.

Cornelius Edison is not active

0:40:510:40:57

today. MacKinnon noncertified in the

backfield. That is complete.

0:40:570:41:08

We saw the end of that play what a

concern for both of these teams is

0:41:130:41:17

the footing on the field. Coaching

staff talked about their players

0:41:170:41:23

wearing screw includes for the

ground.

-- screw in cleats.

0:41:230:41:35

Overthrowing everybody out of

bounds. Ibraheim Campbell playing

0:41:350:41:44

for safety. Case Keenum came back on

that side. I think Campbell was in

0:41:440:41:52

position so smart decision throwing

it away.

It will always be an

0:41:520:42:00

enthusiastic football crowd in

England.

It's a great atmosphere.

0:42:000:42:06

Coming into the stadium, everybody

has got different jerseys on. It's

0:42:060:42:12

American football.

On 2nd & 10, Case

Keenum. Complete. Floyd. Out of

0:42:120:42:24

bounds at the 46-yard line. It will

be third and about three.

0:42:240:42:30

I haven't seen your jersey yet. I'm

confident it is here somewhere.

0:42:330:42:39

Because I played on five different

teams, it's a rainbow of choices.

0:42:390:42:46

Some fans have every single one of

them, I know.

0:42:460:42:50

Case Keenum going the other way

through his receiver. Number 17.

0:42:550:43:03

Jarius Wright had an opportunity for

a 1st down and they kicked it away.

0:43:030:43:06

He has the 1st down. Double sales

high on him. You can see Rudolph as

0:43:060:43:15

he goes up for the sit down. Reid

coming into the flat and he just

0:43:150:43:21

misses the throw, Case Keenum.

0:43:210:43:25

High and short.

On the ground.

Minnesota says they have it.

0:43:320:43:41

What do the officials say?

0:43:430:43:48

The tussle goes on a. Penalty

markers fly. And still no decisions

0:43:520:43:57

from the officials.

0:43:570:44:01

And now a conversation. A la referee

today is Jeff Triplett. There was a

0:44:080:44:18

flag. -- a la referee. -- our

referee. Emmanuel Lamur appeared to

0:44:180:44:30

cover the ball.

After the play is

over, become recovery by Minnesota.

0:44:300:44:38

Personal foul. Number 50, Minnesota.

Enforced to the end of the play.

The

0:44:380:44:47

penalty is on Eric Wilson. What a

terrific opportunity goes by four

0:44:470:44:55

Cleveland because it will be a

pretty good field position.

We will

0:44:550:45:00

see what the Vikings can do with it.

6-0. Cleveland are coming back after

0:45:000:45:04

this.

This is one of the reasons

Cleveland do well. You get a big

0:45:040:45:13

turnover, punctured right in and

hand the ball back to them.

Peppers

0:45:130:45:21

is out four Cleveland. This is his

first time he's been caught the

0:45:210:45:26

season in a game situation.

0:45:260:45:40

Let's take another look at it.

If

you are going to have a defensive

0:45:400:45:45

battle you have to win that day is

an big turnovers like this are game

0:45:450:45:49

changing.

We will be chatting to

josh quakes. One of the great

0:45:490:45:57

returners in the game. What

technically went wrong, what are

0:45:570:46:03

mistakes?

At the last second, they

feel the ball and they look up to

0:46:030:46:12

see who's coming at them and that's

when it usually goes through and

0:46:120:46:14

hits the ground.

Lack of

concentration. He knows the Russians

0:46:140:46:21

are going to get him.

Frustrating

mistake, use the hash tag BBC NFL

0:46:210:46:29

and get your questions in. Keith,

what would it take to turn the

0:46:290:46:35

Browns franchise round, is it an

overhaul.

They are not going to make

0:46:350:46:43

big changes after this season. They

are in the middle of a rebuilding

0:46:430:46:50

process. They are going to

presumably get better. They have had

0:46:500:47:05

for general managers in the last six

or seven years of the ownership just

0:47:050:47:09

has to sit back and say, I have to

let these guys alone for a few years

0:47:090:47:13

and give them a chance.

They have a

new front office and a progressive

0:47:130:47:16

one. It is how they are putting the

personnel together.

I don't agree

0:47:160:47:23

with how they are running the

organisation. There has to be

0:47:230:47:29

wholesale changes made on that

football team.

0:47:290:47:32

COMMENTATOR: You can understand with

the crowds they have had.

Inside the

0:47:370:47:48

40 yard down. Let's go back to the

punt and the loft punt and the

0:47:480:47:53

subsequent pilot.

The wind is at the

back of the receiver and as it comes

0:47:530:48:03

down it blows away from them. You

see the penalty coming up right

0:48:030:48:08

there.

0:48:080:48:10

McKinnon trying to break it outside

and this defense of Cleveland has

0:48:170:48:22

been swarming defense in the early

minutes of this game.

Jamie Collins

0:48:220:48:27

tracking them down.

The last three

games, the Vikings have averaged in

0:48:270:48:36

every game. You try to make this a

one-dimensional game. Put this in

0:48:360:48:42

the hands of Case Keenum.

Case

Keenum and the Vikings looking at a

0:48:420:48:53

3rd & 15. Keenum... Inside the 25

yard, diving catch made by Adam

0:48:530:49:05

Phelan. Enough for a 1st down.

Watch

the time Case Keenum has. Adam

0:49:050:49:15

Phelan will just sit down in the

zone. Putting it into a spot where

0:49:150:49:24

only Adam Phelan can get it.

1st

down.

0:49:240:49:29

Marie brought down at about the

21-yard line.

We can hear Case

0:49:430:49:50

Keenum changing the play at the

scrimmage. Case Keenum and Gregg

0:49:500:49:56

Williams spent the last two years

together at the Rams. Williams being

0:49:560:50:00

the defensive coordinator and Keenum

being the quarterback. They have

0:50:000:50:05

faced each other in the Scout team

and going back and forth through

0:50:050:50:12

training camp. We talked to both of

them about that and I will be a bit

0:50:120:50:16

of back and forth with them today.

Kyle Rudolph in motion to the other

0:50:160:50:25

side. Complete, inside the 20. Two

about the 17-yard line and Stefon

0:50:250:50:32

Diggs, who missed the last two

games, back in action and getting a

0:50:320:50:36

little work today.

It is the third

cash today. Two were on 3rd down,

0:50:360:50:42

they gave them the 1st down and this

time coming on second Ave. He comes

0:50:420:50:48

in averaging over 17 yard is a

catch. When do you fake the drag and

0:50:480:50:54

convert it to get up the field to

get the extra yard?

Minnesota

0:50:540:51:00

against the worst red zone defense

in the NFL. Intended for Adam Phelan

0:51:000:51:05

and covered well by Buddy Calhoun.

The ball is a little bit behind.

0:51:050:51:24

Six field goals against Baltimore.

This one from 35 yards. On its way

0:51:240:51:37

and perfect. 6-3. STUDIO: Caroline

is pitch side.

Jack, being down this

0:51:370:51:56

close, and know you are a big, old

unit, but they are huge?

They make

0:51:560:52:01

me feel small. Being from rugby

background, I like the NFL.

Didn't

0:52:010:52:10

the Vikings do one over on you the

other week?

Yes, but the main man

0:52:100:52:18

got injured, so that will not bode

well for us this season. Hopefully

0:52:180:52:22

be your one can come in and do all

right and we can get out of the

0:52:220:52:25

divisional.

I might talk about your

result in a minute, but the under 17

0:52:250:52:36

England, played well.

You are

treating all the way through. I was

0:52:360:52:41

fortunate enough to win the under 17

European Championships when I was

0:52:410:52:45

younger so I know what it feels

like. It is an incredible feeling

0:52:450:52:49

and I will never forget it. Fair

play to them. Successful couple of

0:52:490:52:53

years for the younger age groups and

hopefully this season, we can follow

0:52:530:52:59

it up.

To come here after that first

away win yesterday, what is it like?

0:52:590:53:06

Putt and much better spent on the

weekend. We had a good night last

0:53:060:53:11

my, my partner's birthday. And we

won yesterday and a clean sheet,

0:53:110:53:16

icing on the cake.

She is over

there, happy birthday. I know you

0:53:160:53:22

have been with OC and Jason and

tasted a bit of it, does this make

0:53:220:53:25

you want to get in even closer?

I

have got into it in the last few

0:53:250:53:30

years, I would love to get involved.

Really love being this close and

0:53:300:53:35

hearing it, hearing that tackles.

They don't hold back.

I know Geoff

0:53:350:53:41

Cameron has been out with a bit of

contrition, would he last five

0:53:410:53:44

minutes out there?

Definitely not

coming is too soft for that. He is a

0:53:440:53:50

good friend, but obviously a

Patriots fan. Give him a bit of

0:53:500:53:53

stick. I think Rogers is better than

Brady.

It must be hard giving a

0:53:530:54:01

Patriots fan stick at the moment?

They are not bad to be fair.

They do

0:54:010:54:07

all right. Looking at the rest of

the season, where can you finish?

We

0:54:070:54:14

have had a tough patch in the last

few games, but with the talent we've

0:54:140:54:19

got, we are aiming in the top half

of the table, it is what we can

0:54:190:54:23

achieve.

It is down to is to make

sure we get there. We are done with

0:54:230:54:28

you, you can go back and watch.

COMMENTATOR: Cleveland have

0:54:280:54:34

possessed the ball for 29 seconds.

Points from turnover is now, 63.

0:54:340:54:41

They will let it roll through the

end zone for a touchback. Twickenham

0:54:410:54:45

Stadium has been the host of NFL

football for the past two weeks and

0:54:450:54:49

it usually hosts rugby. Goalpost are

about the same but the Rugby two

0:54:490:54:58

Pole base goes back to the old days

in the NFL and the next ten yards in

0:54:580:55:02

length and 23 yards wider, the rugby

pitch dwarfs the NFL field.

The

0:55:020:55:09

field will go all the way out to

there.

DeShone Kizer, to the near

0:55:090:55:18

side.

0:55:180:55:21

A lot of times it's hard to say

you're leading receiver is your

0:55:260:55:29

running back. But Roderick Johnson

is the running back. Over 300 yards

0:55:290:55:39

receiving. They use him in a bunch

of different ways. We have a funny

0:55:390:55:43

formation.

Quick pass to the near

side and that is complete. Ricardo

0:55:430:55:54

Lewis... They spread the tackles out

wide. Three interior lines.

0:55:540:56:06

It was enough for a 1st down.

0:56:120:56:23

DeShone Kizer, taking a look. Trying

to slip a tackle. Harrison Smith

0:56:240:56:34

wraps up. Cleveland's offensive

line, Spencer Drango is filling in

0:56:340:56:47

for Thomas, who is out for the rest

of the year. Ricardo Lewis is the

0:56:470:56:51

best choice in a wide receiver group

but has one touchdown catch all

0:56:510:56:54

season, which is why Duke Johnson

stands out.

DeShone Kizer is for 44

0:56:540:57:04

on the day.

Johnson. Johnson

straight ahead across the 43 and

0:57:040:57:15

Eric Kendricks makes the start. The

defense for Minnesota, outstanding.

0:57:150:57:21

Eric Kendricks just make that tackle

and the Vikings leading tackler with

0:57:210:57:26

two straight games and double

figures in tackles. Anthony Harris

0:57:260:57:34

starts today at safety. 3rd & 5.

0:57:340:57:38

Overthrew his man. The pass intended

but Njoku.

Njoku up the sideline and

0:57:460:58:04

DeShone Kizer misses the big play.

Marcus Sherels, deep for the

0:58:040:58:13

Vikings. He has five career return

touchdowns.

0:58:130:58:25

This one floated to the far side of

the field and Stacey Kohli will make

0:58:300:58:35

the catch at the 15-yard line.

STUDIO: Leasing kick from the Browns

0:58:350:58:42

and they are keeping this

competitive. One of the reasons they

0:58:420:58:45

are doing that, we talked about it,

their defense can play. You picked

0:58:450:58:51

up the defensive backs and they are

stepping up?

Absolutely, they will

0:58:510:58:55

force him to make the throws and

then they will play man coverage.

0:58:550:59:00

3rd down, Buddy Cahoon coming up

with the good play and that is

0:59:000:59:05

covering him man to man. This is the

battle to B1.

Before the game we

0:59:050:59:11

were talking, why did they cut him

in Jacksonville? He wasn't drafted

0:59:110:59:16

because he is a little small and

slow, but he has good technique,

0:59:160:59:20

knows what he's doing. Once you pick

up guys like that they tend to last

0:59:200:59:25

a long time in the league. Natural

talent is one thing, having the

0:59:250:59:30

speed, but knowing what you're doing

is important.

The run defense, six

0:59:300:59:35

or seven in the NFL this season so

we knew it would be an advantage if

0:59:350:59:39

they could get it going because it

has got them thinking?

Williams

0:59:390:59:46

knows Case Keenum very well. Knows

his strengths and weaknesses and he

0:59:460:59:50

will attempt to stop the run because

he knows what Case Keenum is going

0:59:500:59:53

to do and he has been very effective

defensively.

If you are Minnesota

0:59:530:59:57

you want to see if they can throw on

1st down, get the ball a little bit

0:59:571:00:01

downfield Lotan these spreading out

the field and taking one guy out for

1:00:011:00:09

a two of three yard game. Force

Cleveland to drop back.

1:00:091:00:15

Greg Williams knows Case Keenum so

will take away his comfortable

1:00:151:00:18

throws.

He likes to make things

uncomfortable.

You can put money on

1:00:181:00:23

that.

You have been getting in touch

with as. A lot of it talking about

1:00:231:00:31

the quarterback that the Browns have

missed over the last couple of

1:00:311:00:35

years. Watson. They could've gone

for him.

I would say he's really

1:00:351:00:50

improved blues also got his

offensive line back healthy. When

1:00:501:00:57

you put an inexperienced quarterback

in front of a bad line on a bad team

1:00:571:01:01

having to play from behind, it is

hard. It's a hard running

1:01:011:01:04

experience.

Cleveland built up the

offensive line and just don't do

1:01:041:01:10

well.

1:01:101:01:13

Across the 20 is the tight end, Kyle

Rudolph.

1:01:241:01:31

1:01:451:01:57

COMMENTATOR: Across the 25 and close

to a 1st down. He was having ankle

1:02:011:02:14

surgery in the offseason, Murray.

Winds it back. He had ankle surgery

1:02:141:02:21

and was slowed to get going and last

week was his biggest game of the

1:02:211:02:26

season as he gets more comfortable.

12 yards, still in the 3rd down. He

1:02:261:02:34

gets the handoff, the 1st down.

Across the 35 out of 36-yard line,

1:02:341:02:45

Ibraheim Campbell with the stop.

Back to the line of scrimmage in a

1:02:451:02:49

hurry.

Winding back to the left,

Latavius Murray. It out of bounds

1:02:491:03:00

short. Back to the 35-yard line when

it. And we are under one minute.

1:03:001:03:19

On the move, looking in throws it

away, Case Keenum, and gets a

1:03:331:03:37

penalty market behind him. --

marker.

1:03:371:03:44

Holding, number 69, offense. Repeat

2nd down.

The penalty is on Rashard

1:03:541:04:02

Higgins. He's throwing his arms up,

frustrated.

1:04:021:04:08

The holding throw right here. Easy

call there as he grabs on to his

1:04:111:04:19

jersey.

This Minnesota team does not

get penalised very much. The third

1:04:191:04:27

fewest in the NFL coming into this

week. Second and 21. Half a minute

1:04:271:04:33

to play in the first. Setting up the

screen and attempting the

1:04:331:04:38

knock-down, Case Keenum.

I'm

impressed so far in this game is the

1:04:381:04:47

way Greg Williams is mixing it up

defensively. He prevents the big

1:04:471:04:53

play, Emmanuel Ogbah, and has done a

mix with the linebacker. He has gone

1:04:531:05:01

zone where he drops everybody. Right

now causing confusion for the

1:05:011:05:07

Vikings' offensive.

Minnesota

looking at a third and 21.

1:05:071:05:14

At the far side, Case Keenum could

not hold on. May be James Burgess

1:05:181:05:29

got a hand on it.

I thought he was

going to get a big six. P came

1:05:291:05:34

blitzing from the middle of the

field. He gets his right hand up. I

1:05:341:05:40

thought he was going to one hand it

and walk it into the end zone. A

1:05:401:05:44

little bit too much on it.

Bryce

Treggs is deep. Had trouble holding

1:05:441:05:52

on last time. This one he does hold

onto at the 36.

1:05:521:05:59

All the highlights from this week 's

NFL, Tuesday evening, 12:15am on BBC

1:06:011:06:08

Two.

1:06:081:06:10

Lots of questions coming in on

social media. Use #BBCNFL. A shout

1:06:141:06:22

out for new bees watching the NFL

for the first time and have

1:06:221:06:25

questions about how it works. We

will do our best to get them

1:06:251:06:30

answered in the next few hours.

1:06:301:06:32

A short break in play here in the

first quarter. They need to keep

1:07:071:07:14

this game tight. They managed to do

that. We go back to the final few

1:07:141:07:19

seconds.

1:07:191:07:21

In the

1:07:271:07:37

backfield, DeShone Kizer. This would

appear to be the last play. Of the

1:07:381:07:43

first quarter as time runs down. We

have played 15 minutes here in

1:07:431:07:50

Twickenham, England. 6-3, Browns,

and we are coming right back after

1:07:501:07:54

this. Lets look at the first

quarter. We talked about how well

1:07:541:07:59

the Vikings touched the ball this

season. And the Browns not only

1:07:591:08:09

managed to convert this into points,

but Isaiah Crowell had a great

1:08:091:08:15

season last season. He is stepping

up into the end zone. The extra

1:08:151:08:19

point was missed, of cause and then

another mistake the Browns may live

1:08:191:08:24

to regret. On the return, the

Vikings could not punch that into

1:08:241:08:28

the end zone. It is 6-3, Cleveland.

It's the first quarter score. Martin

1:08:281:08:37

asks on social media, #BBCNFL, are

the Vikings below average today or

1:08:371:08:45

are the Browns improving?

They have

a good defense, Browns. The line of

1:08:451:08:54

the Vikings is average. They played

much better than last year. When you

1:08:541:09:00

look at the Vikings' results last

year, not only was the line terrible

1:09:001:09:04

but they seem to insist on trying to

run with a line who could not run.

1:09:041:09:11

What did you think of the

first-quarter performance of DeShone

1:09:111:09:18

Kizer?

He's been great but missed

some opportunities which is to be

1:09:181:09:20

expected with a rookie quarterback.

As long as he does not make any

1:09:201:09:24

mistakes I think they have a good

chance.

Is there such a limited

1:09:241:09:27

sample size in here, because Hugh

Jackson has pulled out, but do you

1:09:271:09:33

look at him and instinctively think

he is a long-term starter in the NFL

1:09:331:09:39

or is the Juilliard?

You see the

talent and composure he has but

1:09:391:09:47

overall, he doesn't have the pieces

around him. -- is the Juilliard.

It

1:09:471:09:52

is so much a right place at the

right time -- is the jury is out?

1:09:521:10:03

They get drafted by a bad team. I

look at him and I see somebody, the

1:10:031:10:10

upside is Winston, a big strong arm,

a bit erratic. The downside is

1:10:101:10:19

Manuel. He's that kind of player.

Similar guys, mobile, huge arms,

1:10:191:10:26

need to learn touch. Need to learn

recognition, that kind of thing.

OK,

1:10:261:10:32

let's get back to the action.

1:10:321:10:34

With the completion is DeShone

Kizer. Also Bryce Treggs. You will

1:10:401:10:47

go up the field. Bryce Treggs will

make it seem he's running a go

1:10:471:10:52

route. DeShone Kizer anticipating

where he will stop. You come into

1:10:521:11:02

this game with a 52% completion

rate.

1:11:021:11:14

Bounced out of bounds.

He's ever

challenging starting this season,

1:11:161:11:24

DeShone Kizer and feels like he's

been defined by his season at Notre

1:11:241:11:29

Dame and his seven with the

Cleveland Browns. He says it's taken

1:11:291:11:33

a toll on his confidence but he has

to get back to the guy he is.

1:11:331:11:36

Identify the bad and grow from it.

The head coach Hugh Jackson says he

1:11:361:11:42

handles conversations well than they

have those tough conversations in

1:11:421:11:45

terms of this performance.

Hugh

Jackson has made it clear you have

1:11:451:11:49

to do the right things on the field.

Otherwise you end up standing next

1:11:491:11:54

to him on the side Linux!

This is

Johnson. Inside the 44. It will be

1:11:541:12:03

third and about five. Those are the

conversations Jackson has with

1:12:031:12:09

DeShone Kizer. There are times you

have to take a quarterback. You need

1:12:091:12:13

to try to squeeze the ball in there.

You have to understand the game

1:12:131:12:17

management, one of the most

difficult tasks of playing in the

1:12:171:12:20

position, realising in the second

quarter, third quarter, where you

1:12:201:12:25

are in the field. There are so many

things to take into consideration

1:12:251:12:28

before you try to play well.

DeShone

Kizer looking at a 3rd & 5. The

1:12:281:12:40

slant is broken up. It was tended

for Lewis. Let's check their flag.

1:12:401:12:50

Trae Waynes broke it up.

Formation,

not eligible player on the end of

1:12:501:12:57

the line. Declined. 4th down.

Coming

into this game, what the Browns are

1:12:571:13:11

trying to do was cause confusion.

We've seen it with a strange

1:13:111:13:14

alignments, going out wide, moved

into different spots causing

1:13:141:13:19

confusion. With so many changes,

sometimes you have it where a guy

1:13:191:13:23

does not line up. You have to have a

tackle with a tight end on the

1:13:231:13:28

outside.

The 10-yard line.

So that

is where the Vikings will start with

1:13:281:13:38

12.48 remaining in the first half.

Seems like they could be a

1:13:381:13:43

goalkeeper 's convention going on

here at Twickenham because Caroline

1:13:431:13:49

is with one of.

You wait all week

for one and then many come along at

1:13:491:13:54

once. This is your bread-and-butter.

You love the NFL.

Yes, two games in

1:13:541:14:01

a week at Twickenham for me so I

could get used to this.

Now you have

1:14:011:14:05

your pod cast, there's plenty to

talk about.

Exactly. The NFL were

1:14:051:14:11

kind enough to invite me and my

producer so we have a lot of fun

1:14:111:14:16

with it. Any get to watch it, and

talk about it, it's even better.

How

1:14:161:14:22

would you assess this game so far?

A

nice close game for them everybody

1:14:221:14:29

expected the Vikings to blow at the

Browns but there's no such thing as

1:14:291:14:32

an easy game in the NFL, and it's

nice and close.

I didn't get to

1:14:321:14:37

congratulate you on your 200th

Premier League appearance.

Yes, it's

1:14:371:14:43

bittersweet with defeat to Chelsea

yesterday. I would have liked a more

1:14:431:14:47

positive result but it's nice to

achieve a nice milestone and

1:14:471:14:49

hopefully I can play 200 more.

There's no bad blood. We are good

1:14:491:14:58

friendss. We are sitting next to

each other.

Here supporting the

1:14:581:15:01

Vikings so we will see what happens.

You are a Patriots fan.

Yes, we are

1:15:011:15:08

OK there.

They are doing all right.

There's no stinker of a season.

It's

1:15:081:15:17

a good start. Five and two and

especially with what is going down

1:15:171:15:21

in their division, it could be their

division to lose.

I know we spoke

1:15:211:15:24

previously about where you fit on

this field if you were out there but

1:15:241:15:28

quarterback particularly are a

little bit suspect?

1:15:281:15:36

I used to play a bit in Junior high

and in Canada. I used to be a

1:15:361:15:42

quarterback but I didn't fancy

getting hit by the tight end.

If we

1:15:421:15:48

are looking at where they might be,

do you see the Patriots back in

1:15:481:15:54

February?

I hope so, they had a big

loss with Dante Hightower going

1:15:541:16:00

down. As the season goes on, they

will get stronger. I see them

1:16:001:16:06

getting to the playoffs and then I

am hoping they will get to the Super

1:16:061:16:09

Bowl.

Is the killer question I

should ask?

Now, take it easy today.

1:16:091:16:20

COMMENTATOR: Stefon Diggs.

That is a

long throw to make from deep in your

1:16:321:16:38

end zone.

He has a comeback rout at

ten yards. Use eyes of Keenum

1:16:381:16:46

working the feel. 1st down at the

20.

1:16:461:16:56

McKinnon with the whole of the men

and -- middle. He has a seven yard

1:17:021:17:10

pick-up, it will be seven and three.

Joe Schobert width that tackle.

The

1:17:101:17:19

linebackers have been all over the

field.

They come in with 56 tackles

1:17:191:17:28

and 59 tackles. They are everywhere.

Healthy Jamie Collins been helpful

1:17:281:17:32

for them from a linebacker point of

view as well. Fake to McKinnon this

1:17:321:17:42

time. Wide open. It is caught by

Adam Phelan. Out of bounds, just

1:17:421:17:47

inside the 35-yard line. Check the

flag.

Coming back.

1:17:471:17:59

Number 71 and 63 in the offense.

Riley Reiff and the rookie Danny

1:18:101:18:17

Isidora, combining on the violation.

They will be called on the penalty

1:18:171:18:24

on the left side of the line. You

see the play fake and then the

1:18:241:18:28

roll-out. Trying to push the ball up

the field when you get that type of

1:18:281:18:31

play. You cannot be engaged up high

and then go loaf. They put that into

1:18:311:18:37

effect from a safety standpoint.

Instead of 41 yard pick-up, it is

1:18:371:18:46

now second and 16th.

Short past,

McKinnon was tripped up to about the

1:18:461:18:57

19-yard line. Taylor, making the

stop. I made the comment to you

1:18:571:19:01

during the break, these Cleveland

Browns missing some key pieces of

1:19:011:19:06

defense are out here so far holding

the pretty well.

The point of the

1:19:061:19:13

turnover. Minnesota, when they got

their turnover, they were held to a

1:19:131:19:21

field goal. Defensively, they are

trying to keep everything in front

1:19:211:19:25

of them and put the Vikings in 3rd &

long, like we have here.

Keenum,

1:19:251:19:32

under pressure, escapes... Prose.

Adam Phelan has a 1st down at the

1:19:321:19:36

40-yard line.

Adam Phelan will walk

his way across the field as he has

1:19:361:19:47

time in the pocket, going from left

to right. Pressing up into the zone.

1:19:471:19:54

Stefon Diggs, draws but underneath

coverage and allows the window for

1:19:541:19:59

Keenum to drop it into the field.

Vikings now at their own 40. Back to

1:19:591:20:09

the ground game and McKinnon, the

fourth year running back out of

1:20:091:20:13

Georgia Southern. There is Adam

Phelan. What a feeling he is having

1:20:131:20:22

so far.

He is putting together some

big numbers. Stefon Diggs has been

1:20:221:20:27

out with a groin injury but Adam

Phelan has been reliable for the

1:20:271:20:31

Vikings. This ability to work and

find zones. Has been on the same

1:20:311:20:37

page as Keenum, and very

short-handed receiver.

Keenum, deep

1:20:371:20:51

prop this time, incomplete. The pass

was intended for lukewarm Tredwell.

1:20:511:21:01

That is the guide Vikings keep

hoping get things together and take

1:21:011:21:04

off as a receiver. Came in today

with only 11 catches. Has made some

1:21:041:21:11

dynamic plays this season but some

of the more simple plays, coming

1:21:111:21:15

back on a quick ten yard comeback

route, loses his footing. Yes, you

1:21:151:21:21

lose your footing from time to time,

but you need to see more consistency

1:21:211:21:25

out of lukewarm Tredwell.

Keenum,

needs to get this in for a 1st down.

1:21:251:21:37

Incomplete. Stefon Diggs, the

intended receiver.

That is about the

1:21:371:21:49

third or fourth time they have been

working that stop.

1:21:491:21:52

It is about the third or fourth time

they have been working that

1:21:571:22:00

comeback. Rout. Jordan drives of

Stefon Diggs. It is an easy call for

1:22:001:22:07

the officials. If Jordan is going to

play that far off, you need to get

1:22:071:22:16

the ball in your hands and tried to

convert it. Or you get a stuff to

1:22:161:22:21

move at the 1st down mark.

Derrick

Kindred, is the safety. They have

1:22:211:22:34

yet to get the running game going.

Murray, only eight carries in 20

1:22:341:22:42

yards. There is a big emphasis by

the Browns defense. He likes to run

1:22:421:22:48

inside the tackles, but there's a

big guy. When he gets in the open

1:22:481:22:51

field, he is fast enough. The pitch.

McKinnon. Building up ahead of

1:22:511:23:04

speed, just inside the Cleveland 40,

to the 39-yard line. Set up a third.

1:23:041:23:18

Berger is going to kick it out.

Third and for now. Cleveland with a

1:23:211:23:38

safety deep in the middle of the

field. Keenum turn its out of the

1:23:381:23:42

field. It is caught and dropped at

the 25-yard line. In and out of the

1:23:421:23:47

hands of Kyle Rudolph. Christian

Kirksey giving him a little company

1:23:471:23:54

on the play. Christian Kirksey puts

his arm between and swipes the ball

1:23:541:24:03

out. Great defensive play. Bright

strikes, deep and now to return this

1:24:031:24:13

upcoming part in his own 7-yard

line.

1:24:131:24:20

They will let it bounds at the five

and it takes a Cleveland Browns

1:24:241:24:28

before the Vikings settled down at

about the 9-yard line.

1:24:281:24:38

STUDIO: Great play by Christian

Kirksey.

Cavalry coming to the

1:24:381:24:45

rescue.

Christian Kirksey, great

play from him?

Minnesota needed

1:24:451:24:52

that. Came to, but the hand on the

ball, most linebackers cannot make

1:24:521:24:58

plays like that.

Special Teams

keeping them in? Great by the

1:24:581:25:05

Minnesota Vikings. The Cleveland

Browns keep finding ways to give

1:25:051:25:11

them more chances. You have an

opportunity to keep them back, but

1:25:111:25:19

you allow them to get in an

excellent field position right now.

1:25:191:25:23

Certain teams we think are

legitimate and then struggle against

1:25:231:25:27

weaker teams, odessey forces us to

filter the argument is a bit.

We are

1:25:271:25:33

back to what we said at the start,

the Browns can play defense. They

1:25:331:25:37

have pretty good defense and

Minnesota right now is picking away

1:25:371:25:39

trying to find something that works.

But they mostly sticking to what

1:25:391:25:43

they came into the game doing and

they need to make a few adjustments.

1:25:431:25:52

Williams has held back and blitzing

pretty much. They did on the screen

1:25:521:25:56

pass the got tipped and nearly

intercepted. But he seems to feel

1:25:561:26:00

they can keep Keenum off-balance

without having to win big blitzes.

1:26:001:26:06

You have been getting in touch with

us, Jeffrey has said, thanks for

1:26:061:26:10

your message. He says the Browns

have adopted an analytical approach

1:26:101:26:13

to personnel. Any room for money

ball to succeed in the NFL?

It is

1:26:131:26:21

difficult, one of the things you

should try to figure out is what

1:26:211:26:24

they are trying to do, the

accumulating draft fixes are good,

1:26:241:26:28

but you have to get them when you

need them. You say money ball, the

1:26:281:26:32

Josh Hill character in the movie,

money ball, was a baseball guy who

1:26:321:26:40

is now with the Browns, giving them

the kind of analytical is.

You are

1:26:401:26:46

not buying it?

It is nonsense. The

New England Patriots are well

1:26:461:26:52

coached football team. It is a

player's league and they keep

1:26:521:26:56

trading away their draft picks and

that is why they are struggling.

But

1:26:561:27:00

they are well coached.

The coach

makes the decisions and be missed on

1:27:001:27:06

a lot of draft picks, the Patriots

but because they don't overextend

1:27:061:27:09

money on them, they can bring in

someone else if it fails.

1:27:091:27:16

COMMENTATOR: The Browns, from their

own nine. Not much on the left side

1:27:251:27:31

of the line, which is where Spencer

Drango is holding court at left

1:27:311:27:36

tackle. For the first time in a long

time, someone other than Thomas

1:27:361:27:41

working over there.

Spencer Drango

has his hands full, that is clear.

1:27:411:27:47

What the Browns have done from a

play calling standpoint, to make

1:27:471:27:52

things easier, they have mainly been

quick throws, their running game has

1:27:521:27:56

been draws. They have and challenge

them in terms of having to maintain

1:27:561:28:00

a block for a long time.

Johnson out

of the backfield and not really

1:28:001:28:05

going much further than the 13-yard

line. Anthony Harris coming up from

1:28:051:28:10

the safety position. Now it is a 3rd

& 6.

You can see the personnel

1:28:101:28:21

changes the Browns have made,

bringing in extra receivers. Here on

1:28:211:28:25

3rd & 6, this might be the time they

have to push the ball up the field

1:28:251:28:31

further and give Spencer Drango a

tougher task against Everson

1:28:311:28:41

Griffen.

Incomplete at the 20-yard

line, intended for Ricardo Lewis.

1:28:411:28:55

Spencer Drango on Everson Griffen

and then he bounces to the outside.

1:28:551:29:02

Got away with getting little bit

earlier.

1:29:071:29:19

Catch made by Stacy Cowley at the

40-yard line. That is where we will

1:29:271:29:32

get started when we come back to

Twickenham, after this. STUDIO: Big

1:29:321:29:36

drive coming up for the Vikings. Tom

on social media has asked, can the

1:29:361:29:40

Browns use the LA Rams as an example

to rebuild their franchise, a new

1:29:401:29:46

coach rejuvenated them. We are

seeing that with a couple of young

1:29:461:29:50

coaches in the NFL doing well and

maybe that is the way to go with my

1:29:501:29:53

franchise?

Cleveland thought that is

what they were doing with huge

1:29:531:29:59

action. He is a quarterbacks coach.

-- Hue Jackson. He is in the role to

1:29:591:30:06

do that.

You look at the Rams for

example, Greg Williams was defensive

1:30:061:30:12

coordinator at the Rams. Jeff

Fisher, a lot like Hue Jackson,

1:30:121:30:16

never thought of as a quarterback

developer but relative really an

1:30:161:30:22

imaginative defensively. He was a

quarterback developer but the

1:30:221:30:26

quarterback was Andy Dalton and it

was a controlled game. That is what

1:30:261:30:29

he wants to play.

1:30:291:30:34

Wade Phillips comes in as defensive

coordinator which has made a huge

1:30:341:30:37

difference.

He is a young

70-year-old.

In terms of the length

1:30:371:30:42

of time coaches are given in the NFL

compared to other sports, it's

1:30:421:30:47

favourable. There's very few teams

who pull a trigger on a coach to

1:30:471:30:54

early but Hugh Jackson has got a

terrible winning record as head

1:30:541:30:57

coach at the moment. One game, even

though it's a bad side, will he be

1:30:571:31:03

able to hang onto his job until next

season? Will there be pressure on

1:31:031:31:08

him if he keeps on racking up the

losses?

There has to be losses on

1:31:081:31:13

him. They will release them and

there's pressure on him. There's no

1:31:131:31:20

question about holding onto him for

next year. He has to win more games

1:31:201:31:25

than this. I don't care what players

who have. As a head coach, you are

1:31:251:31:29

responsible for the football team

and they have got to win more.

A

1:31:291:31:33

couple towards the end of the would

go a long way. If you goes aero-

1:31:331:31:39

eight, you get fired.

The Vikings

last season came out of the traps

1:31:391:31:45

lying and then that's a good point.

Keep the questions coming in,

1:31:451:31:51

#BBCNFL.

1:31:511:31:52

COMMENTATOR: The New Orleans Saints

have come on strong after a slow

1:31:571:32:00

start. The LA Rams putting up some

serious games. Six minutes to play

1:32:001:32:09

in the first half.

1:32:091:32:12

Case Keenum flowing out of the far

side. Picked up by the Browns but

1:32:191:32:24

ruled incomplete and deflected by

Carl Nassib.

He has been all over

1:32:241:32:32

the field. He's had a great

presence, along with Emmanuel Ogbah,

1:32:321:32:38

from a defensive standpoint.

McKinnon will have a good 5-8 yards

1:32:381:32:45

before he gets defenders around him.

2nd & 10.

1:32:451:32:53

Jerick McKinnon breaking to the

outside and almost to midfield.

1:33:001:33:04

About one yard shy of the 1st down.

Christian Kirksey making the tackle.

1:33:041:33:09

It looked like he was going to have

a four yard game. Splitting the

1:33:091:33:15

defenders. Nearly got the 1st down.

1:33:151:33:21

The clock continues to move. Under

5.5 to play in that first half.

You

1:33:251:33:33

think the Vikings I can run the ball

here five and short.

On the move,

1:33:331:33:38

outside. Caught by David Morgan, the

tight end. That is what the Vikings

1:33:381:33:47

were relying on. They did not think

it was going to be a run play. David

1:33:471:33:55

Morgan, behind Rudolph. He sets his

block and then leaks out to the

1:33:551:34:03

flat. Morgan came into today with no

catches on the season. Already two

1:34:031:34:10

here today.

Minnesota now at the 37.

Jerick McKinnon picks up about five

1:34:101:34:21

on the play. Before Joe Schobert

makes the tackle. The last stages of

1:34:211:34:28

the first half and Minnesota looking

like they are getting more field for

1:34:281:34:31

it.

Jerick McKinnon has done a good

job was open field move and breaking

1:34:311:34:36

tackles. I wouldn't be surprised if

we get a double move. Just around

1:34:361:34:42

the 30-yard line, if they get the

coverage, on the outside, we talked

1:34:421:34:46

about the corners, you'd could get a

double move. Deep safeties for the

1:34:461:34:53

Browns. Wide-open underneath, Jerick

McKinnon, inside the 25. 23rd in the

1:34:531:35:04

1st down from Minnesota.

Smart

decision that time. Two safeties

1:35:041:35:12

deep with five underneath. Jerick

McKinnon able to find that soft spot

1:35:121:35:17

in the zone. Easy completion.

1:35:171:35:23

Jerick McKinnon off right guard

inside the 22, about 18. Joe

1:35:331:35:41

Schobert and Jamie Collins making

the stop.

No one has used a time-out

1:35:411:35:46

so far in the first half. You can

see the change up between Latavius

1:35:461:35:58

Murray and Jerick McKinnon. He is

causing some confusion now. We stick

1:35:581:36:03

with Jerick McKinnon.

Case Keenum

flowing. Touchdown!

1:36:031:36:14

His first of the season.

1:36:151:36:18

You can see he gets a little soccer

celebration at the end, sliding on

1:36:331:36:38

his knees and pumping his fist. Keep

your eye on the safety. He keeps

1:36:381:36:46

looking to his left. He thinks he

has safety on the backside. You see

1:36:461:36:50

them to each other. Campbell was the

safety that got drawn by the eyes of

1:36:501:36:57

Jamar Taylor.

1:36:571:37:01

STUDIO: The fans of the Vikings

faces federal. Remember lots more

1:37:081:37:14

NFL on the BBC. Tuesday night,

12:15am, catch all the action on

1:37:141:37:22

Tuesday night. The boys round up

everything that has happened,

1:37:221:37:26

including this game. James says that

the Browns' Deluxe tough. They will

1:37:261:37:35

be kicking themselves they let in

the Vikings through the back door.

1:37:351:37:39

That's the best way to describe it.

What went wrong for the Browns

1:37:391:37:44

there?

They are following Case

Keenum and not gain attention to the

1:37:441:37:49

rest of the field. That is his best

and he is great. He finds open

1:37:491:37:56

spots. He knows he's got to find an

open spot on the right side. He does

1:37:561:38:03

not look down there until a very

last-minute. Case Keenum is sneaky

1:38:031:38:07

fast. Is sneaky fast receiver.

1:38:071:38:11

This is Matt Dayes bring it back

short of a 25-yard line. Then Gideon

1:38:201:38:26

from Michigan. The blocks will come

right from the inside, working

1:38:261:38:31

through the middle to get a hand up.

He got his hand in there. No. He's

1:38:311:38:42

done it all day in the passing game.

1:38:421:38:55

That was intended for Johnson on the

backfield. That will be 2nd & 10.

1:39:031:39:09

This is where you have to be wary of

DeShone Kizer, who's done a good job

1:39:091:39:15

of protecting the football this

entire game. We have some time-outs.

1:39:151:39:19

You want to get into some kind of

rhythm. Tried to go down before

1:39:191:39:25

getting tied up before half time.

You also can't risk getting the ball

1:39:251:39:29

back to Minnesota right before they

have a chance to add more points.

It

1:39:291:39:33

is your Achilles' heel. 9-6,

Minnesota. To the near side.

1:39:331:39:43

Johnson. He will be marked down just

outside the 15-yard line.

Eric

1:39:431:39:53

Kendricks with the tackle. As you

have looked at DeShone Kizer, if it

1:39:531:40:05

mechanics, inexperienced, lack of

projecting?

I think it in

1:40:051:40:10

experience, understanding game

situations. It's a difficult things

1:40:101:40:13

to do. You think you can make all

the throws and you understand what

1:40:131:40:16

you want to get done. You realise

everyone on the field is faster.

Two

1:40:161:40:23

minutes to play here at Twickenham.

STUDIO: Such an important passage of

1:40:231:40:28

play for the Browns right now. The

Vikings have a chance to get more

1:40:281:40:31

points and then the whole dynamic

shifts.

Absolutely. They are winning

1:40:311:40:37

the field position. We thought they

might go for it on four and one but

1:40:371:40:40

they need to get three and out and

get field position back.

With the

1:40:401:40:47

Cleveland Browns, you have to be

concerned right now. You do not want

1:40:471:40:50

to go behind to the Minnesota

Vikings. It looks like this game

1:40:501:40:55

could be getting out of hand that

they score some points.

Let's have a

1:40:551:40:59

look at the Vikings touchdown once

again. Adam Thielen, the player.

1:40:591:41:05

What you see right now in the

corner, he supposed to help the

1:41:051:41:10

safety ride there. You look at stuff

you should not be looking at.

He

1:41:101:41:17

left Adam Thielen open in the end

zone. You can see the corner still

1:41:171:41:21

watching at the safety is watching

too. Adam Thielen keeps them in the

1:41:211:41:26

middle of the field by looking that

way.

Recall the playing game.

Not

1:41:261:41:32

me, it's you. I was good at that.

What did you make of that

1:41:321:41:37

celebration?

He is playing the

crowd.

Liam has got in touch with us

1:41:371:41:44

on social media. Where do you think

it's going so wrong for the Giants?

1:41:441:41:50

What do they need to change, the

coach?

They are one in six right

1:41:501:41:56

now, not playing very well. They

need to get back to playing Giant

1:41:561:42:01

football, my default answer for

everything. Run with a football.

1:42:011:42:04

Deck the quarterback. Obviously they

have some injuries. They just did to

1:42:041:42:11

get back for the per head coach, I'm

not going to blame him. Offensively,

1:42:111:42:16

they brought in to be doing a good

job and he's not.

They had a big

1:42:161:42:24

game but that's it.

Another example,

nobody thought they would beat the

1:42:241:42:31

Broncos and they stormed it. What

about the defense? They spent a lot

1:42:311:42:35

of last season but that does not

lived up to expectations this

1:42:351:42:38

season.

They have not played as well

as last year. Last year they

1:42:381:42:44

dominated. This year, inconsistent.

They need to get back and play well.

1:42:441:42:53

Their corners are not playing well.

Last year they had one of the top

1:42:531:42:57

corners in the league.

They have the

lead on the Giants.

1:42:571:43:03

COMMENTATOR: Going deep down the Fat

sideline. It is caught by Ricardo

1:43:091:43:16

Louis.

1:43:161:43:20

That was a pretty good throw.

Xavier

Rhodes was one-on-one. I was

1:43:231:43:29

surprised he dropped in the safety.

Anthony Harris comes down the

1:43:291:43:34

backfield. When you go to do that,

across the board, it was

1:43:341:43:40

one-on-ones.

Johnson ducks inside

the 45-yard line. The clock

1:43:401:43:48

continues to move once a all three

of their time outside used. You

1:43:481:43:53

don't want to score, you don't want

to leave too much time for

1:43:531:43:59

Minnesota. You work the middle of

the field if you have to.

He

1:43:591:44:07

shovelled it ahead. The penalty mark

is down. Inside the town of. Now you

1:44:071:44:13

call time-out. -- it is inside the

time.

You need to get ready to snap

1:44:131:44:29

back to play.

Member 41.

The penalty

was on Anthony Harris and they

1:44:291:44:38

turned it down, so 30 yard on the

goal. Because there has been enough

1:44:381:44:46

time there, you don't need to call

the time-out. You should be to

1:44:461:44:50

communicate whatever play you need.

With the penalty, the play clock

1:44:501:44:55

stops.

1:44:551:44:58

Not sure why they are doing that.

DeShone Kizer would come over and

1:45:011:45:09

talk about it. Let's go to that last

player. Isaiah Crowell, he is in

1:45:091:45:16

protection right in the middle of

the field. You can see DeShone Kizer

1:45:161:45:20

step up in the pocket and as he does

so, he slips off and turns his head

1:45:201:45:26

around. Great heads up play by

DeShone Kizer. These open in the

1:45:261:45:35

field putting it forward.

1:45:351:45:47

Little bit of a merry-go-round at

quarterback. Dish showing Kaiser and

1:45:471:45:55

Cody Kessler has seen action.

Trying

to hope that this showing Kaiser is

1:45:551:46:10

the answer for a long time now.

Pushing his way to about the one.

1:46:101:46:20

Don't need to call time out, you can

take your time and huddle up. Have

1:46:201:46:26

about a minute to go and you have

the ball up the 1-yard line. Take

1:46:261:46:31

your time, everybody stay composed.

You still have the time-out is in

1:46:311:46:37

your pocket.

2nd & goal from the

one. Isaiah Crowell.

Using the

1:46:371:46:59

second time out in the first half.

Coming into today, the Vikings had

1:46:591:47:05

only given up one rushing touchdown

in the season. The Browns scoring

1:47:051:47:10

their touchdown run early on in the

first quarter. If you are the

1:47:101:47:14

Browns, you can try a play action

pass. If it is there, great. If not,

1:47:141:47:21

throw it away and you can ultimately

go for it on 4th down, if you want

1:47:211:47:24

to.

If you are Cleveland, outside of

the football game, what do you have

1:47:241:47:31

to lose?

That goes into it. You want

to come away with a touchdown here.

1:47:311:47:40

Don't be surprised if they try a

play action. Ultimately thinking

1:47:401:47:47

they can go for it on fourth, if

they need to.

Into the end zone, for

1:47:471:47:54

that touchdown.

1:47:541:48:04

Kizer's third rushing touchdown.

You

saw the confusion they were trying

1:48:101:48:18

to cause by having a spread

formation then be shifted everybody

1:48:181:48:23

back inside to get the push in the

middle and Kizer coming up with the

1:48:231:48:27

big points.

Zane Gonzalez. This one

is good. 40 seconds to play in the

1:48:271:48:39

first half and Kizer, a happy

camper.

Running it right in the

1:48:391:48:44

middle of the field. Johnson,

getting hold of him trying to keep

1:48:441:48:50

him out of there. You could see the

group celebration, not sure what

1:48:501:48:55

that means, but it obviously they

have worked on that. But with 42

1:48:551:49:02

seconds left, remember I said,

everybody relax. The Browns called

1:49:021:49:07

the time-out. The reason you relax

and take up some of the time, then

1:49:071:49:11

you score on the next down and it

only takes two seconds on the

1:49:111:49:14

Vikings will have 40 seconds and

they have all three time-outs. If

1:49:141:49:19

you are the Vikings with 40 seconds,

you can use the middle of the field.

1:49:191:49:25

When I said 42 seconds and relax,

there isn't panic mode at that

1:49:251:49:30

point. You have the time-out in your

pocket. We will see if that comes

1:49:301:49:36

back to haunt them when Minnesota

get the ball.

Two yards deep in the

1:49:361:49:43

end zone. Forward to about the

22-yard line. Sammie Coates makes

1:49:431:49:57

the stock. Here comes Keenum, all

three time-outs remaining and 43

1:49:571:50:02

seconds on the clock.

I would be

shocked if Cleveland doesn't put

1:50:021:50:08

about two safeties to 20, 20 five

yards deep. Force Minnesota to keep

1:50:081:50:15

it underneath, make the tackle, make

them use the time-outs if they are

1:50:151:50:17

able to force that. Cleveland has

gone middle of the field, high, deep

1:50:171:50:25

safety. One deep safety beyond the

40-yard line.

Keenum. Flip it out

1:50:251:50:35

here and complete to McKinnon.

McKinnon on the sideline makes it

1:50:351:50:38

across the 40-yard line before he is

knocked out at the 42.

Like I said

1:50:381:50:45

Minnesota going man-to-man coverage

on the 3rd & 12 and they gave up the

1:50:451:50:48

long completion to Cleveland and

allowed the drive to keep going. I

1:50:481:50:52

was surprised Cleveland didn't go

cover. When you are man-to-man, the

1:50:521:50:58

quarterback buys time. You will find

someone that gets away with it. Now

1:50:581:51:04

you have to Buchel appear for the

final 25 seconds.

That was a 20 yard

1:51:041:51:10

pick-up, Keenum. Rid of it in a

hurry and complete. Intended for

1:51:101:51:16

Adam Phelan. Give Greg Williams

credit, he not only backed it up, he

1:51:161:51:25

backed it up and blitzed the corner.

He doubled down on the game on the

1:51:251:51:31

1st down.

Was he fund to talk to

yesterday.

I don't know why I am

1:51:311:51:39

shocked with those choices with the

intensity Greg Williams brings to

1:51:391:51:42

everything. 2nd & 10. 22 seconds on

the clock. Time-out was called. By

1:51:421:52:01

Minnesota.

1:52:011:52:07

Minnesota comes into this game with

a one-game lead on the Green Bay

1:52:111:52:17

Packers in the NFC North. They are

at five an two. The Packers at four

1:52:171:52:22

and three. Detroit at three and

three. AFC North, Cleveland is

1:52:221:52:29

chasing everybody. Pittsburgh five

an two Baltimore at four and four.

1:52:291:52:36

Both these teams will hit the

biweekly today's games when they go

1:52:361:52:40

back to The States. As you said,

Minnesota in position right now in

1:52:401:52:44

the NFC North.

If you can get time I

would go double move down here.

1:52:441:52:53

Jordan has been sitting on those com

backgrounds. Keenum throwing far

1:52:531:53:00

side of the field and wide-open is

McKinnon. Inside the 45 and down at

1:53:001:53:05

about the 42.

McKinnon sneaking out

the backside, unable to get

1:53:051:53:16

uncovered. He is working that side,

trying to come over. He speaks at.

1:53:161:53:26

It is fine staying in balance, you

don't have to get to the boundary

1:53:261:53:30

with the time-outs in your pocket.

16 yard gain to the 42 and 12

1:53:301:53:37

seconds on the clock. Minnesota uses

its second time-out. Each team now

1:53:371:53:40

has one remaining and there is Mike

Zimmer.

It is important with the one

1:53:401:53:47

time-out in your pocket you can

still work the middle of the field,

1:53:471:53:50

get yourself in position to get a

closer field goal. Right now, it

1:53:501:53:56

would be a 60 yard field goal. Try

and pick up some more yards I get to

1:53:561:54:03

the middle of the field.

Far side of

the field and that is Rudolph with

1:54:031:54:13

the catch. Stopping the clock with

eight seconds.

You still have time

1:54:131:54:18

for another play.

1:54:181:54:21

Same thing because Rudolph was able

to get out of bounds, now you can

1:54:281:54:32

work the middle of the field, try

and get a little bit close.

Keep

1:54:321:54:38

your eye on McKinnon. Coming out of

the backfield, nobody covered him

1:54:381:54:41

the zone.

Five-man rush. Keenum

throwing this side of the field.

1:54:411:54:52

Caught inside the 20-yard line and

out of bounds.

Laquon Treadwell out

1:54:521:54:57

of bounds at the 16-yard line with

three seconds to play. That will

1:54:571:55:04

bring on Kai Forbath.

He doesn't

have much time. You have a time-out

1:55:041:55:12

but he is trying to fend off, if he

had stayed inbound, and danced

1:55:121:55:19

around long enough, the time runs

out. Fortunately for Minnesota, he

1:55:191:55:24

got the foot on the edge and it

gives Kai Forbath an attempt.

Kai

1:55:241:55:30

Forbath, from 34. And the kick is

good.

1:55:301:55:35

Studio-macro looks like we have got

a good game. Second quarter and both

1:55:471:55:52

teams playing tough. The Vikings

managed to the offense going, and

1:55:521:55:58

they are living up the Mike Brown

liking the celebration. Sand-macro,

1:55:581:56:06

galvanising the defense. We talked

about how important the drive was

1:56:061:56:09

about the young quarterback and the

Browns, completed a fantastic pass

1:56:091:56:13

before that. The quarterback sneak

into the end zone, he is happy about

1:56:131:56:17

back? Field goal at the end takes

the sting out of it a little bit as

1:56:171:56:23

far as the man it daily-macro

Minnesota Vikings are concerned.

1:56:231:56:32

13-12 the Browns go in to the

half-time. Extra points on both

1:56:321:56:37

sides, outscored on the total

yardage and passing yardage. But now

1:56:371:56:44

edged with the run game for

Cleveland. So, we have done to death

1:56:441:56:51

the fact Cleveland are winners, they

came into this with everybody

1:56:511:56:57

expecting them not to win. We keyed

in the significance of starting

1:56:571:57:01

strong and playing strongly. You

made the point how much this team

1:57:011:57:06

seems to play for Hue Jackson. Even

if they are going badly, they come

1:57:061:57:10

out and play for their coach.

He is

a likeable guy, you want to win and

1:57:101:57:18

play for him. He is a player's coach

and these guys know how important it

1:57:181:57:22

is to come out with the victory.

It

was an important start, given the

1:57:221:57:27

fact the Vikings have handled the

football so well all season. Only

1:57:271:57:33

two interceptions coming into this

game for Minnesota. And then they

1:57:331:57:38

give up a pick?

Keenum, who is quite

short for a quarterback, has to be

1:57:381:57:49

aware. They broke wide-open with two

good plays in a row. Watch the

1:57:491:57:56

block. Right on the second level.

Finishes off twice, the linebacker

1:57:561:58:02

cannot make a play and he is in.

There was some confusion, they lined

1:58:021:58:07

up wrong, did know where they were.

You could tell with how they were

1:58:071:58:10

pointing at each other. That is how

big plays happen when you don't line

1:58:101:58:14

up and do your responsibility.

How

frustrating is it for everybody else

1:58:141:58:20

on the team when your kicker misses

a routine extra point?

Nobody wants

1:58:201:58:24

to see that but you can expect

something like that happen for

1:58:241:58:28

Cleveland. They have played well in

this game, I like the way they play

1:58:281:58:31

with passion and enthusiasm. It

seems they keep making mistakes that

1:58:311:58:36

might cost them in the end.

Despite

how hard they were playing they let

1:58:361:58:40

the Vikings back into it. Mike was

talking about how Minnesota were

1:58:401:58:45

trying to work out this Cleveland

defense. Keenum has been the target

1:58:451:58:50

regularly this season?

It is broken

play, and that is their specialty.

1:58:501:58:55

Thielen has a knack for finding open

spaces in the zone. When Keenum has

1:58:551:59:02

two scramble, that is when it is

important. He doesn't look to the

1:59:021:59:06

corner until the very last instance

which doesn't give the safety any

1:59:061:59:09

time to get over there.

The contrast

about Kizer, he was being incredibly

1:59:091:59:15

open and not looking where he was

going?

They are not comfortable

1:59:151:59:21

enough to use their eyes and go away

from their receiver, because it is

1:59:211:59:25

hard to come back, it is risky. It

is hard to going comeback but you

1:59:251:59:29

have to. Because they will look

where you're going and they will go

1:59:291:59:33

there.

Kizer, pressure on his

shoulders trying to get this Browns

1:59:331:59:40

offensive going. 3rd down, three and

out and they would have had the

1:59:401:59:45

Vikings in a decent field position.

Kizer comes with this? It is not an

1:59:451:59:52

easy thing to do to throw the ball

like that. You see him pushes way

1:59:521:59:56

through to the end zone. He has made

some good players here and there to

1:59:562:00:00

keep this Cleveland Browns team in

the game.

Good job by Lewis. Kizer

2:00:002:00:05

is throwing the ball to his outside

shoulder because the defender is on

2:00:052:00:09

the inside. Lewis has react to that

and give himself the room on the

2:00:092:00:13

outside to make the catch.

They had

it open on Harrison Smith and

2:00:132:00:18

overthrow it. They came back to it

and it works.

2:00:182:00:24

What did you make of DeShone Kizer's

performance in the first half?

He's

2:00:242:00:28

playing well. He needs to slow the

game down. He's got a great defense.

2:00:282:00:35

That little shovelled to Johnson,

both of those guys recognising the

2:00:352:00:41

situation and then acting on it.

DeShone Kizer realises everything is

2:00:412:00:45

broken down and he comes out and

Johnson gets downfield a couple of

2:00:452:00:48

yards to the ball.

Nik says Vikings

needs to wear the Browns with longer

2:00:482:00:55

drives. Is there a danger that the

intensity at which the Browns are

2:00:552:01:00

playing on both sides, eventually

the Vikings will grind them down?

2:01:002:01:05

The Vikings are the better team. I

liked the way the Cleveland Browns

2:01:052:01:11

are playing. They are playing with

pressure like they want to win this

2:01:112:01:13

football game. I don't they wear

them down yet.

Interesting to see

2:01:132:01:18

how they react to what was a toughly

fought first half as far as

2:01:182:01:25

Minnesota were concerned.

Second-half action coming your way

2:01:252:01:28

in a bit. It's been a closely fought

NFL season so far as we reach the

2:01:282:01:31

halfway point of the season. Let's

look at a few of the stars of our

2:01:312:01:36

leading the way. -- that are leading

the way.

2:01:362:01:43

DANCE MUSIC

2:01:512:01:56

Some of the stars of the season so

far and they don't come much bigger

2:03:132:03:16

than my next guest in the studio.

Three time probe bowler electrifying

2:03:162:03:22

footballer. Josh Cribbs has dogged

by. How are you doing? -- dropped

2:03:222:03:29

by.

Angered.

2:03:292:03:36

It's great to see you.

How was

London treating you? I'm loving it.

2:03:382:03:43

Having a great time. Browns are

playing decent. Can't get better

2:03:432:03:49

than this.

You were a kick return

specialist. What is the key to that?

2:03:492:03:54

Following your blocks. They don't

see the play and workmanship that

2:03:542:04:01

goes into it and the vision, but

it's following your blocks, and

2:04:012:04:08

taking it down the field.

Added that

of speed comes into it as well.

It

2:04:082:04:14

is vision and knowing where the guys

are supposed to be.

Instinct as

2:04:142:04:19

well?

Definitely.

The rules changed

in 2011 and you were not thrilled by

2:04:192:04:26

that?

No, because it takes the

opportunity for guys like myself to

2:04:262:04:32

play along extended career in the

NFL, going away from the return

2:04:322:04:37

specialist. The receiver, the third

guy on the line-up, or the third

2:04:372:04:44

back.

The ball was spotted on the 35

which gives an advantage to the

2:04:442:04:51

receiving team. Making a name on a

roster in the NFL for something like

2:04:512:04:55

that as a way forward. It's a

starting job.

Yes, definitely. 0.1%

2:04:552:05:03

chance of making it to the NFL, so

getting there by itself is a great

2:05:032:05:10

achievement, but to have success,

you can ask these guys here, who

2:05:102:05:16

have been there and done it, you

take nothing away just from being

2:05:162:05:20

able to step on the field with the

greatest athletes in the world.

What

2:05:202:05:24

do you make of the International

series in London and the rise of the

2:05:242:05:29

game globally?

It is long overdue,

it's about time and hopefully next

2:05:292:05:32

year they will play more games over

here and they will have the system

2:05:322:05:37

to have football over here and we

will come over more and more. Not

2:05:372:05:41

just in London but other countries

as well. Adopting the NFL plan.

2:05:412:05:45

Playing more and more football.

In

terms of the demise of NFL Europe,

2:05:452:05:51

which was a great devout mental --

developmental way of letting your

2:05:512:06:02

trade, with some great success

stories, that has gone down. Do you

2:06:022:06:07

think the NFL will return it and

play regular-season games in Europe?

2:06:072:06:12

It wasn't as popular because the NFL

Europe, compared to Triple-A, in

2:06:122:06:18

baseball, it's more popular to have

the real guys, the professionals,

2:06:182:06:23

the best of the best and that's what

you see on the field now and that's

2:06:232:06:28

why the stadium is sold out for the

fourth time this season. They want

2:06:282:06:32

to see the best of the best player

and that brings out the best fans.

A

2:06:322:06:37

lot of different jerseys for the I

hope some Cribbs jerseys. Oh yes,

2:06:372:06:41

I've seen that. You are a return

specialist, but back in college you

2:06:412:06:48

played differently?

Yes,

quarterback. I didn't say I want to

2:06:482:06:53

play the quarterback in the NFL as a

kid, I just wanted to make it and I

2:06:532:06:57

used to joke around and say I will

play whatever position you want me

2:06:572:07:00

to play. Just to be on the field.

The greatest athletes in the world

2:07:002:07:05

play on this field. It's an honour

to have that barge, the NFL. I take

2:07:052:07:12

nothing away to take things from you

guys, no matter what position.

We

2:07:122:07:18

were playing Cleveland, I forget the

year, and he'd tell me, don't take

2:07:182:07:25

it to me. The ball was kicked

directly to him. I have never seen

2:07:252:07:32

the coach that angry in my entire

life. Why would you do that? It was

2:07:322:07:37

hilarious. I always think about

that.

Let's talk about this game,

2:07:372:07:45

Josh, because the Browns are playing

hard, not for the first time this

2:07:452:07:48

season.

Yes, they are the youngest

team in the NFL and when you look

2:07:482:07:55

out there and see how good they are

playing, coaching has a lot to do

2:07:552:07:58

with that but the mistakes they are

making is because they are very

2:07:582:08:02

young and inexperienced. A touchdown

the Vikings had, it was a cover, and

2:08:022:08:09

it's come from inexperience, the

safety. When he doesn't have an

2:08:092:08:13

outside threat, he is opposed to

back up further and give the safety

2:08:132:08:18

more help and that was not done. Use

the little titbits on special teams

2:08:182:08:23

because they are so young and

inexperienced.

It's a good point

2:08:232:08:28

that the youngest in the NFL. A lot

of people are getting in touch with

2:08:282:08:33

us saying they backed the wrong

player with Watson.

I have mixed

2:08:332:08:43

feelings on that because Cleveland

fans are so die-hard. They want the

2:08:432:08:46

best of the best all the time, the

number one guy. It's not that we

2:08:462:08:54

don't drive well, the number one

pixel usually pick don't necessarily

2:08:542:08:57

pan out for us. They go in a

different direction. Different is

2:08:572:09:03

good when the same old way has not

given success to the team. We

2:09:032:09:07

haven't had success lately. I'm on

board with how different they are

2:09:072:09:10

now.

The second half is about to get

under way. A quick prediction?

2:09:102:09:17

Vikings won't win. Browns will win

the first game in London.

Great to

2:09:172:09:23

see you.

Appreciated.

2:09:232:09:27

COMMENTATOR: Mike Zimmer said some

frustrations in terms of Cleveland's

2:09:412:09:45

defends that when they show a soft

cover and a bunch of different

2:09:452:09:49

pressures, he wants Case Keenum to

be more patient in that respect.

2:09:492:09:52

What he said to us if they have

tried rushing to DeShone Kizer but

2:09:522:09:59

they are moving their defense to

quickly. Mike Remmers, we saw him go

2:09:592:10:06

out with concussion. He has been

downgraded to out.

Thank you very

2:10:062:10:09

much.

He's lost the football.

Covered by the Vikings!

2:10:092:10:26

That is exactly what the Vikings'

defense is trying to do. To start

2:10:282:10:33

this half off and that has been a

problem for the Browns all season.

2:10:332:10:38

The ratio coming into today. The

ball getting ripped out. Harris

2:10:382:10:44

falls on it on the 30-yard line. The

Vikings are all set.

2:10:442:10:52

About the 27-yard line.

Theirs is

the same spot in the first couple

2:11:062:11:11

where the Browns had that big return

and Minnesota got the ball in that

2:11:112:11:18

area and the Cleveland defense held

strong and force them to a field

2:11:182:11:22

goal. Now the Browns' defense is

putting the same thing on them.

2:11:222:11:30

Cleveland in jeopardy here. 2nd & 8.

2:11:302:11:35

Complete. That is Kyle Rudolph. The

25-yard line. Kyle Rudolph, he

2:11:382:11:48

doesn't like Jason Whitten, too

much.

He was very comp entry and he

2:11:482:11:57

wants to emulate some of the things

Jason is done in his career. He has

2:11:572:12:01

great respect for him, not only as a

receiver but the fact he blocks as

2:12:012:12:07

well and he wants to emulate his

game.

Incomplete. Inside the 25-yard

2:12:072:12:15

line, Adam Thielen could not hold

on.

A great response. In the first

2:12:152:12:23

half they held them to a two goal

attempt.

This will be from 43 yards.

2:12:232:12:34

Remember the Browns got a hand on

the ball. Said they do have a

2:12:422:12:46

blocker. Kick on its way. Line

drive. It is good. So, off the

2:12:462:12:55

turnover, the Vikings regain the

lead. 15-13. 13 and a half to play

2:12:552:13:00

in the third. Trafalgar Square,

London England.

2:13:002:13:09

STUDIO: Hall of Famer is with us

now. Chris, it's a pleasure and an

2:13:092:13:15

honour.

How was London treating you?

London is awesome. We've had a great

2:13:152:13:20

time here, spent a lot of time

visiting with the people, doing

2:13:202:13:26

shopping, 84,000 plus people here

watching this game. It's been

2:13:262:13:31

amazing.

We have seen guys have

checked jacket on the sideline.

2:13:312:13:39

That's the most impressive jacket I

have seen.

This old thing?

2:13:392:13:43

LAUGHTER

It isn't the age of the things.

It

2:13:432:13:49

is what it says.

It just reminds me

how significant and how much it

2:13:492:13:56

means to be able to wear the shield

of the pro football Hall of Fame and

2:13:562:14:03

what it means to, not only the

league, but what it means to one of

2:14:032:14:07

the fans, and this is an amazing

opportunity to be able to be here

2:14:072:14:10

today and share this with the

people.

We were talking down on the

2:14:102:14:14

field before the game, this is a

very small and exclusive club.

2:14:142:14:19

There's a very tiny exclusive club

at the top of it.

I don't want to

2:14:192:14:26

embarrass the guy but this is my

idol right here. I am shaking right

2:14:262:14:30

now. I met him in 2002. I was coming

out of college and I asking for an

2:14:302:14:35

autograph and I still had it. One of

the greatest players the NFL has

2:14:352:14:38

ever seen.

That is a testament of

there's no fan, nobody, bigger than

2:14:382:14:48

the fans. There is no one that

stands up and says, you know what, I

2:14:482:14:52

am too good to sign an autograph. I

remember other players coming out

2:14:522:14:58

and obviously destined for

greatness, and a lot of other guys

2:14:582:15:04

in his class but there was an honour

for me to be part of it. To share

2:15:042:15:08

that with him. And share some of the

things you've experienced along the

2:15:082:15:11

way.

2:15:112:15:14

Talk about when you found that you

are going to make it into the Hall

2:15:142:15:18

of Fame, given everything you'd

achieved in your career, what did

2:15:182:15:20

the moment he found out the like?

That moment was unbelievable. I

2:15:202:15:25

mean, you can't even imagine. I

truly felt that if I was even

2:15:252:15:29

mentioned in the company of members

of the Hall of Fame, that would have

2:15:292:15:32

been a huge accomplishment for me

but to be able to go in and become a

2:15:322:15:37

member of the pro football Hall of

fame, you can't start your career

2:15:372:15:40

saying you're going to be in the

Hall of Fame because so many things

2:15:402:15:43

have to happen, so many things have

to go right and to be a part of this

2:15:432:15:48

is truly special.

I hope he will

stay with us for a bit longer. The

2:15:482:15:52

game is back under way. -- you will

stay.

2:15:522:15:56

COMMENTATOR: The ball will be placed

at the 31-yard line, a 72 yard

2:16:042:16:08

return.

Great blocking up front,

great recognition, understanding the

2:16:082:16:17

lanes that you have and where the

blocks are going to be set up,

2:16:172:16:21

Vitali with an ice block, kicking

out, allowing him to get to the next

2:16:212:16:25

level, and he's ripping through two

arm tackles, there. Excellent field

2:16:252:16:29

position for the Browns.

Jabrill

Peppers, the rookie, usually the

2:16:292:16:36

Cleveland Browns returner, is

inactive today. Isaiah Crowell

2:16:362:16:40

inside the 20 and down at about the

18. Eric Kendricks and Anthony

2:16:402:16:48

Harris converting to make the stop.

They pull the Eli Manning, two of

2:16:482:16:55

the linemen pulled to the right so

the defense seed alignment poll and

2:16:552:16:58

they go in the other direction. The

misdirection handoff to Isaiah

2:16:582:17:02

Crowell Cats the defense -- catches

the defense off-guard.

Crawl maybe a

2:17:022:17:11

yard on two about the 17. They have

been very effective in keeping

2:17:112:17:18

Griffen from having much of a save.

Everything has been very fast from a

2:17:182:17:23

passing game standpoint, lots of

quick throwing, screens, going to

2:17:232:17:26

the outside. The only big throw up

the field was the man-to-man

2:17:262:17:31

coverage on 3rd & long white before

the end of a half that they got down

2:17:312:17:34

the sideline, so not many

opportunities for Griffen to take

2:17:342:17:39

advantage from an experienced

standpoint on Spencer Drango.

We

2:17:392:17:42

have a time-out on the field here,

unexpectedly, with 12.19 to play in

2:17:422:17:47

the third. Speaking of Everson

Griffen, you go up against

2:17:472:17:54

Cleveland, you are usually going up

against Joe Thomas but he's not

2:17:542:17:57

around so here is Spencer Drango.

The drawn play, there, getting him

2:17:572:18:02

up the field, now on the backside,

getting sealed off on the touchdown

2:18:022:18:06

run. You have to remember, this

defense, the defensive end are set

2:18:062:18:10

up to be outside edge past rushers

in a wide nine technique which, when

2:18:102:18:15

I say wide nine, it is like they are

lined up at a slanted angle, coming

2:18:152:18:19

off, they are so wide to the

outside, it requires the drop step

2:18:192:18:24

for the tackle, to really get back

upfield to rent the edge.

Talking

2:18:242:18:28

about Spencer Drango, he knew this

was big-time fame.

He was excited,

2:18:282:18:32

we asked him if he was trepidations

about going up against Everson

2:18:322:18:35

Griffen and he just smiled and said,

"You know what? I look at it as an

2:18:352:18:40

incredible opportunity for me, going

up against one of the best".

Kizer,

2:18:402:18:45

rolling right, getting rid of it and

on the sideline, dropped. David

2:18:452:18:51

Njoku.

2:18:512:18:53

That's one you would like to see

from David Njoku, he's able to bring

2:18:572:19:00

it in and gather himself, he can

work out that sideline and get past

2:19:002:19:04

1st down sticks. -- work out that

sideline. I thought Kendricks made a

2:19:042:19:09

mistake falling off the coverage and

letting David Njoku go. If he

2:19:092:19:14

catches that ball on the inside

shoulder, he will be able to rotate

2:19:142:19:17

and get down inside the 10.

3rd & 9.

2:19:172:19:23

Pump fade, throwing, incomplete.

Ricardo Louis, closest to it,

2:19:292:19:38

covered by Trae Waynes, Kizer

thought is received was illegally

2:19:382:19:41

bombed.

There was a bomb at the top

of the route by Trae Waynes and

2:19:412:19:45

Ricardo Louis goes up and sits down

right around ten yards, given a bit

2:19:452:19:49

of a shoulder rent by Kizer to get

him to bite and the intensity was to

2:19:492:19:52

get to the back of the end zone.

Getting Wayne Bennett will hand

2:19:522:19:57

checked at the top of the route and

now they have to try to field goal.

2:19:572:20:00

Gonzalez from 35 yards. As Cleveland

look for the lead once again. On its

2:20:002:20:09

way and he missed it.

2:20:092:20:13

Gonzalez pulled it to the left and

the score stayed the same. 15-13,

2:20:172:20:24

Minnesota. Back to Twickenham after

this. STUDIO: As the game goes on,

2:20:242:20:30

as you just referred to it, Chris

Doleman, the Viking Sigrid weapon.

2:20:302:20:37

Views, I tell you what, Cleveland is

playing really well, much to my

2:20:372:20:41

dismay but the thing is, these teams

are the ones that make you so

2:20:412:20:46

nervous because at some point in

time, everyone is pretty comfortable

2:20:462:20:50

in the NFL and the one who makes the

least amount of mistakes is going to

2:20:502:20:56

winnable game. Why now, they missed

two field goals and we've got the

2:20:562:20:59

opportunity to win the game but you

can't go to the end because it gives

2:20:592:21:03

them confidence to feel that they

can play against the Vikings.

The

2:21:032:21:08

Vikings are in the box seat in the

NFC North at the moment,

2:21:082:21:11

particularly because of the injury

to Aaron Rodgers, how good is this

2:21:112:21:15

side?

You know, it seems pretty

good, three good quarterbacks,

2:21:152:21:20

Bradford, Case Keenum and Teddy

Bridgewater and I spoke to Teddy

2:21:202:21:23

Bridgewater and explain to him that

his time will come if he is patient

2:21:232:21:26

and gets healthy, he's not ready to

step out on the field, even if he is

2:21:262:21:31

healthy because he's not played a

year and a half.

Would you start

2:21:312:21:35

him?

Absolutely not.

So your study

would be Sam Bradford?

Case Keenum

2:21:352:21:41

right now because he's playing well

so why take him out? Sam has had

2:21:412:21:45

problems with his knee and they are

still trying to figure it out. I

2:21:452:21:50

think we can get Carlos Hyde

involved in the offense, who is

2:21:502:21:53

going to make the running game a lot

better. I think right now, the

2:21:532:21:57

offensive coordinator thinks they

are good enough to compete with

2:21:572:22:01

anybody in the league and also the

defense is better than most.

How

2:22:012:22:05

good is the defense, one of the best

in the NFL right now?

They are

2:22:052:22:09

there, I'm proud of the defense and

I'm proud of the defensive line

2:22:092:22:14

especially.

In terms of the

prognosis, the vision for this

2:22:142:22:19

season, the playoffs, looks like?

Playoffs.

How far can you go?

I

2:22:192:22:24

think we can go pretty deep, if we

get this win, we can go into the

2:22:242:22:28

second half and then we can start

building home-field advantage, that

2:22:282:22:31

is the focus on the team. You want

to make the playoffs because he

2:22:312:22:35

figured, you win ten, so out of the

last six or eight games, let's go

2:22:352:22:41

into the playoffs building where we

can get home-field advantage, to

2:22:412:22:45

control arrow destiny.

Wouldn't it

be great to have a Super Bowl in

2:22:452:22:49

your hometown?

Let me take -- tell

you something, it's Minnesota that

2:22:492:22:58

are due.

Great to see you, Chris

double. COMMENTATOR: Derrick Kindred

2:22:582:23:03

up from a safety position.

Once

again, the defense 's challenge with

2:23:032:23:10

responding after a negative play,

Gonzalez with the missed field goal

2:23:102:23:13

after earlier clanking an extra

point off the upright. We will have

2:23:132:23:17

to see what his mental status is

going to be at the game goes on and

2:23:172:23:20

if it comes down to a crucial kick

at the end where that he is going to

2:23:202:23:23

deliver. -- whether he is.

Loss of

six, 2nd & 16. Case Keenum, McKinnon

2:23:232:23:36

was blocking, out across the 32

about the 31. -- the 30, two about.

2:23:362:23:44

One of the first times today that

screenplay has worked, McKinnon

2:23:442:23:48

working to the outside left, backing

up, containing it -- Riley Reiff

2:23:482:23:57

allowing it to develop. The Browns

have been all over the screenplay

2:23:572:23:59

and that time they were able to take

advantage and get a big game, the

2:23:592:24:03

Vikings.

Talking about the mental

condition of Gonzalez down the

2:24:032:24:08

stretch what about the team? Cridge

mag at the defense were energised

2:24:082:24:11

and had a good tackle on 1st down.

This will be vital for them. On the

2:24:112:24:17

quick slap, backed down from behind,

Phelan wants an interference call on

2:24:172:24:21

Jamar Taylor. Not happening.

That is

a good call, it was behind him, I

2:24:212:24:30

think that if Case Keenum had put it

more out in front, there was a

2:24:302:24:34

better chance for an opportunity to

get the completion but Taylor,

2:24:342:24:38

coming over the back with that left

arm and knocking the ball away.

Back

2:24:382:24:44

to the 25. That is what we were

talking about for the Browns defense

2:24:442:24:50

and suddenly, the offense can get

back in the rhythm they had going in

2:24:502:24:53

the last series.

2:24:532:24:56

Fielded by trade at the 28th. Bumped

out just as he crosses the 40-yard

2:25:002:25:05

line. Westminster Abbey on display

on the NFL network.

We've had a

2:25:052:25:15

couple of goalkeeper than if you

don't want one you go for rugby

2:25:152:25:18

player, right, at the home of rugby?

Lewis Moody, England World Cup

2:25:182:25:23

player, I was talking to the keeper

's early and they say being down

2:25:232:25:26

close to give it another level. Did

you expect the hits we have seen?

To

2:25:262:25:30

be honest, it's awesome to be yet,

it's awesome to watch a live NFL

2:25:302:25:34

match and a beer and to be here

before the match and the razzmatazz

2:25:342:25:38

and all the guys jumping row behind

us has been phenomenal, it's like a

2:25:382:25:41

rather than a game. The impact and

the skills that you see from the

2:25:412:25:46

players is rarely phenomenal.

What

I've loved about the days everyone

2:25:462:25:50

has been wearing a shirt so I don't

have too asked the obvious question

2:25:502:25:53

but if you spin around, you have got

Brandon Marshall on your back. Why

2:25:532:25:57

did the Bears become your team?

Simple, we were at prep school and

2:25:572:26:03

one of the kids came into a show and

tell and his uncle played for the

2:26:032:26:07

bad and he bought in a helmet. --

brought in. I was obsessed and it

2:26:072:26:11

was in the 80s and they went on to

win the Super Bowl and they have not

2:26:112:26:14

been so good to them but I've always

been a Bears fan and it's a shame

2:26:142:26:17

there were not playing today because

this was the only match I could get

2:26:172:26:20

to.

This one is pretty special and

close at the moment. Ever a thought

2:26:202:26:24

that you could go and do American

football after rugby?

I would have

2:26:242:26:29

loved to do this, if I could come

back in another life, I would love

2:26:292:26:32

to give American football ago,

Lawrence Taylor, Walter Payton, the

2:26:322:26:36

guys I loved watching when I was

young in the 80s and 90s, to go out

2:26:362:26:40

there and try this board because you

can be so specific about the skill

2:26:402:26:43

set as well. Rugby covers far more,

it is more broad in terms of skill

2:26:432:26:49

set and fitness where is this commie

you can be really specific but I

2:26:492:26:52

would love to have given it a go.

Not debate you jealous but I saw the

2:26:522:26:56

Browns practice on Friday and Eddie

Jones, the England coach, was there,

2:26:562:27:00

and BC the news that he's going to

put England against Wales to have a

2:27:002:27:03

scrum practice head of the

internationals?

That will be

2:27:032:27:07

interesting and I'm sure this box

will be flying!

That is not but I

2:27:072:27:16

love Eddie Jones because he thinks

outside the box and does so many

2:27:162:27:18

different things and if he is

suggesting it, you'd probably need

2:27:182:27:21

the thinking is good will happen.

Get onto the rest of the players and

2:27:212:27:24

he -- say you saw them at the Browns

and they should watch out for the

2:27:242:27:27

hits.

Training could get Lib-Lab if

they bring these boys down but I'm

2:27:272:27:31

looking forward to the Six Nations

as well, and watching a competent

2:27:312:27:35

sport at Twickenham.

Thank you.

2:27:352:27:39

COMMENTATOR: Ten and a half to play

in the third quarter.

2:27:472:27:53

Kizer. On the move. Fakes the throw,

runs the football and slides down at

2:27:532:28:02

the 45-yard line. Another one of

those good decisions Hue Jackson was

2:28:022:28:09

talking about.

Exactly what I was

thinking, Hue Jackson talked about

2:28:092:28:13

DeShone Kizer not forcing the ball

in and understanding when to take a

2:28:132:28:16

risk and we saw right there there

was a flash of the running back

2:28:162:28:19

underneath, it looked like he was

going to try to do it, he was almost

2:28:192:28:23

going to do a jump pass and throw it

underneath but instead he gets the

2:28:232:28:26

pump fake and gets to the outside

and gains five yards.

The defense

2:28:262:28:29

that is third against the run in the

league, Minnesota averaging giving

2:28:292:28:37

up 67.5 in again, Cleveland up to

84. Duke Johnson escapes one tackle,

2:28:372:28:42

gets hit by another. Penalty flags

coming.

2:28:422:28:48

It is going to be a facemask all. --

call.

2:28:542:29:01

REFEREE:

Personal foul, facemask,

number 93, defense, 15-yard penalty

2:29:012:29:08

added at the end of the play, 1st

down.

2:29:082:29:13

The right arm getting hooked across.

Now, is it the call that is getting

2:29:172:29:26

booed or Shamar Stephen?

I don't

know, I think it is the facemask, I

2:29:262:29:31

guess. Plus we have a lot of Browns

fans here.

2:29:312:29:38

On the backfield, from the 38, quick

pass to the near side and that is

2:29:462:29:51

complete and out of bounds at the

35.

Greg, you were talking about the

2:29:512:29:56

decision-making process that Hue

Jackson wants DeShone Kizer to make

2:29:562:29:59

in a game. He said it is because he

wanted so badly and shown Kizer

2:29:592:30:03

agreed, said he can't be the guy

that wants to make the 25 yard play

2:30:032:30:07

every time they are on the 26-yard

line, he has to make the smart play

2:30:072:30:11

and make sure he keeps the ball out

of harms way and his preparation for

2:30:112:30:14

the games has helped in the last

couple of weeks in terms of that.

2:30:142:30:18

You are right and when he talked

with us, he's fully aware of the

2:30:182:30:21

mistakes he's made and how we as to

correct them, Kizer. Under pressure,

2:30:212:30:28

rolling and down inside the 35, at

about the 34-yard line, Linval

2:30:282:30:32

Joseph.

2:30:322:30:34

When I asked him about it the other

day, he said his preparation was

2:30:382:30:43

good. What he has changed

differently in that amount of time

2:30:432:30:47

is preparing more like a coach.

Coaches continually think of

2:30:472:30:52

situations and continually think of

the team as a whole, getting

2:30:522:30:55

complimentary plate out of defensive

teams, special teams and offense. He

2:30:552:31:02

says he's thinking more like a coach

in understanding those situations.

2:31:022:31:08

3rd & 6 for the Browns. Down the

middle, looking for 1st down

2:31:082:31:12

yardage, and he has it close to the

25-yard line. Is that a call or

2:31:122:31:22

something the quarterback Caesar

snap?

I don't think that's a call.

2:31:222:31:27

The way the plays are going, Duke

Johnson was on a route to the far

2:31:272:31:33

left. It has something DeShone Kizer

recognised and recognised it was all

2:31:332:31:41

about the quarterback.

Duke Johnson

inside the 22 about the 18-yard

2:31:412:31:46

line. Harris making the stop. This

offense looks like it's got a feel

2:31:462:31:55

to it. Going into the huddle.

Harrison Smith coming up into

2:31:552:32:01

position to make the tackle, one of

the best safeties in the NFL. Not

2:32:012:32:04

able to make the tackle.

Duke

Johnson bouncing out of the middle.

2:32:042:32:10

A little extra yardage. 1st down at

about 13.

Something we don't

2:32:102:32:16

normally see from the Vikings is

missed tackles and missed

2:32:162:32:19

opportunities. This could have been

a tackle for no gain. Two dies in a

2:32:192:32:23

good position. Duke Johnson

continues to bounce through.

Kizer,

2:32:232:32:32

as penalty markers fly, gets to

about 11. Markers down on this side

2:32:322:32:37

of the field.

2:32:372:32:39

Hands to the face, number 29, on the

defense. 5-yard penalty added at the

2:32:512:32:57

end of the play. 1st down.

Quarterback Rhodes guilty of the

2:32:572:33:05

penalty call. -- cornerback. That

will move the Browns even closer.

2:33:052:33:11

Line of scrimmage at six.

The way

the Browns are running the football,

2:33:112:33:20

you have to stick with the downs

here. If you commit to many guys

2:33:202:33:24

inside the box, man to man, you

could move to the outside.

That's

2:33:242:33:31

about a yard from Isaiah Crowell.

Looks like the Vikings were thinking

2:33:312:33:44

the same thing, sticking with the

run, so put guys on the inside and

2:33:442:33:47

make sure we wrap up. Seven Rush and

two pass on this.

Cleveland with

2:33:472:34:02

five first downs this quarter. The

Vikings without one yet. Isaiah

2:34:022:34:08

Crowell in the backfield. Kizer got

rid of it. It's bounced in the air,

2:34:082:34:17

almost intercepted. Incomplete at

the five. The intended target was

2:34:172:34:34

David Njoku.

It was nearly Terence

Newman for 97 the other way.

2:34:342:34:42

Cleveland is turning the ball over

six times in the red zone, the most

2:34:422:34:46

in the NFL. That has been a huge

problem for Kizer. 3rd & goal. Kizer

2:34:462:34:55

lobs it. Traffic jam in the end

zone. They want a penalty Mark

2:34:552:34:59

Abbott one isn't forthcoming. --

they want a penalty Mark Abbott --

2:34:592:35:10

penalty marker.

2:35:102:35:15

If you keep an eye on Bryce Treggs

coming underneath, he's on the

2:35:172:35:24

outside running a slant. Nobody

covers rice dregs because Rhodes

2:35:242:35:30

ends up getting coalition. After the

play Bryce Treggs is jumping up and

2:35:302:35:34

down.

Gonzales from 23 yards. A fan

favourite here in London, with the

2:35:342:35:45

field goal. STUDIO: IRONIC CHEERS

To Twickenham as Gonzales is good

2:35:452:35:53

for the field goal. We talks about

of tight ends as a comfort blanket

2:35:532:36:02

for young quarterbacks. You talked

about something interesting with the

2:36:022:36:08

David Njoku play that was

unsuccessful but interesting, the

2:36:082:36:11

way the tight end is a reassuring

target in this situation.

It's a big

2:36:112:36:17

target, easy for a young

quarterback. When it went to him,

2:36:172:36:24

almost intercepted, the tight end

did not cause the turnover, giving

2:36:242:36:29

him confidence to come back to him

again.

We have seen other players

2:36:292:36:33

like Julius Thomas, and we disagreed

about whether it was his fault or

2:36:332:36:38

not, if the tight end isn't going to

play the ball, it's a high-risk

2:36:382:36:43

situation. What about the red zone

offense? How the offense and

2:36:432:36:48

quarterback has to change the way he

plays?

The problem in the red zone

2:36:482:36:52

is simple, the field shrinks for

you, so you don't have room for

2:36:522:36:56

receivers to get themselves open. It

changes the way you get covered as

2:36:562:37:00

well. You saw what they tried to do

on the second play, set the pick and

2:37:002:37:05

have one guy opened by hitting the

defensive back. There was

2:37:052:37:09

miscommunication because they went

for the wrong receiver. He's trying

2:37:092:37:12

to call the interference call, which

is silly.

The flag wasn't coming. A

2:37:122:37:20

rookie question from Phil, thanks

for getting in touch. Can you please

2:37:202:37:27

explain what the pocket is, it's a

term we hear a lot. We have enough

2:37:272:37:31

quarterbacks here!

The pocket is

where the quarterback stands. A lot

2:37:312:37:42

of times you need to keep a clean

pocket for the quarterback. What's

2:37:422:37:47

between the quarterback, the

defensive line and offensive line.

2:37:472:37:50

That little area there, he needs to

stay in that area and make his

2:37:502:37:54

decisions from there.

It kind of

curves as the tackle drops back.

2:37:542:37:58

They are keeping him protected in

that pocket. We hear about pocket

2:37:582:38:03

boys as well, quarterbacks either

have it or they don't.

Tom Brady is

2:38:032:38:06

one of the best right now. The way

he moves in the pocket, creating

2:38:062:38:10

space for himself, he's the best at

it.

Without having to run out of it.

2:38:102:38:16

He just steps one way and the other.

In the Super Bowl they didn't allow

2:38:162:38:21

him to take a step forward, and

that's how they beat him. If

2:38:212:38:26

Cleveland win this game they will

have exactly as many wins as the

2:38:262:38:29

Giants do.

You give with one hand

and take with the other!

My

2:38:292:38:36

goodness.

COMMENTATOR: Starting at

the 25-yard line. Vikings players

2:38:362:38:46

past and present worked with more

than 100 children from around the

2:38:462:38:50

London area on Friday. Many of them

were wearing rugby gear, no padding,

2:38:502:38:55

participating in football drills,

and they were taught basic skills of

2:38:552:39:00

the game. Cleveland back into the

lead. Coming up on five and a half

2:39:002:39:08

minutes to play. The fourth lead

change of the day.

2:39:082:39:12

Latavius Murray out of the backfield

with Case Keenum throwing. A pick-up

2:39:172:39:24

of about eight, to the 33-yard line.

Looks like it'll be and two. -- 2nd

2:39:242:39:32

& 2.

They have had success running

with McKinnon towards the end of the

2:39:322:39:37

half. Now with Latavius Murray in

the game, they got him involved in

2:39:372:39:42

the last game with the reception.

The Browns continuing to mix things

2:39:422:39:48

up from the defensive play call

standpoint.

2:39:482:39:52

Murray with a 1st down, up to the

40-yard line. Once again we are

2:39:592:40:05

seeing the defense that we saw in

the first week, that they employed

2:40:052:40:08

against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Christian Kirksey with the stop.

2:40:082:40:13

It's a really deep guy in the

safety.

It's trying to eliminate the

2:40:132:40:18

big play, forcing the offense to hit

the intermediate type of throw. The

2:40:182:40:23

safety dropping back, look how deep

is. It's Campbell.

Murray for two

2:40:232:40:32

yards.

2:40:322:40:35

The Cleveland defense have done an

excellent job in stopping the

2:40:412:40:44

running game. Right now, the Vikings

only at 57 yards rushing. Cleveland

2:40:442:40:50

coming in today, giving up 84 yards

per game on the ground. Doing an

2:40:502:40:55

excellent job in stopping the

Vikings rush attack.

Campbell 29

2:40:552:41:00

yards off the line of scrimmage in

the secondary. Case Keenum with the

2:41:002:41:07

throw at 2nd & 9. On the far side of

the field.

A double move that he

2:41:072:41:25

does here. The throw is a little bit

behind him. It's the pressure Case

2:41:252:41:32

Keenum asunder.

As a quarterback

when you step up, you see a deep

2:41:322:41:42

guy, is that meant to discourage you

going deeper?

It's meant to

2:41:422:41:46

discourage or going deep if you have

a deep play in the middle of the

2:41:462:41:49

field. It usually means they are

there to protect the deep throw. If

2:41:492:41:52

you go either side of the sideline,

it gives you the angles to go over

2:41:522:41:58

there and help on that type of

throw. If you have two deep liars

2:41:582:42:04

than it eliminates that even more.

McKinnon in the backfield. 2nd & 9.

2:42:042:42:12

Case Keenum throws. McKinnon is side

to 25. To the 20. It will be 1st

2:42:122:42:20

down.

You're seeing these underneath

throws. Latavius Murray called one

2:42:202:42:28

from the backfield earlier. What

they are doing defensively is

2:42:282:42:33

testing the quarterback. Will he be

patient enough to do the checkdowns

2:42:332:42:39

and hit the underneath throws, or

will he pushed to that second or

2:42:392:42:42

third level to get away downfield.

So far Case Keenum has done a good

2:42:422:42:48

job being patient.

2:42:482:42:51

McKinnon, out of bounds at 15. Run

out by Boddy-Calhoun. We are in the

2:42:572:43:05

last two minutes of the third

quarter.

We will give that to

2:43:052:43:10

McKinnon, great individual effort.

The play was supposed to go inside

2:43:102:43:13

in between the guards at the line of

scrimmage. Because of that collapse

2:43:132:43:17

defense committee is getting

congratulations at the side. When

2:43:172:43:21

those bodies collapse inside he has

speed and ability to get around the

2:43:212:43:25

edge.

He takes a breather. Murray

onto the field. 2nd & 4, Case Keenum

2:43:252:43:32

rolling, looking and throwing to the

end zone. He overthrows everybody.

2:43:322:43:37

Penalty markers fly. Covered by

Boddy-Calhoun.

Tim Thelen did a good

2:43:372:43:50

job of reacting to that.

Pass

interference, defense number 20.

2:43:502:43:57

1-yard line, 1st & goal.

Adam

Phelan, he gets a chuck there. Case

2:43:572:44:08

Keenum was throwing that ball the

way. -- adamant Adam

2:44:082:44:16

Keenum was throwing that ball the

way. -- adamant Adam.

2:44:162:44:17

McKinnon practically untouched in

the end zone for the touchdown.

2:44:262:44:41

McKinnon coming round the edge.

Tried to time it out. Looks like the

2:44:422:44:47

Vikings will go for two. McKinnon

gets tripped as he goes.

Completely

2:44:472:44:57

untouched to the end zone. From the

2-yard line.

2:44:572:45:02

The Vikings looking for the 7-point

lead. And Case Keenum is going to

2:45:102:45:18

call a time-out. Each team has used

a time-out in the second half, as

2:45:182:45:25

Case Keenum wants to come over and

talk about it a little bit.

You time

2:45:252:45:31

it out so you snap the ball right

when McKinnon is behind Case Keenum,

2:45:312:45:37

so watch as he times the snap so it

times out perfectly and then Case

2:45:372:45:41

Keenum is tripped up by the guard as

he is holding out but CJ Ham has a

2:45:412:45:45

tremendous block, kicking out the

edge and allowing the kid in to turn

2:45:452:45:48

up inside and get the touchdown. --

allowing McKinnon to turn up.

Here,

2:45:482:46:00

you have got two defenders on one

receiver. Look for something to go

2:46:002:46:06

with this group, working this side

of the field. McKinnon making it to

2:46:062:46:10

the end zone!

2:46:102:46:15

So the Vikings get there one

touchdown lead, 23-16 with one

2:46:232:46:27

minute 16 to play.

All the defense

is focused on this side but McKinnon

2:46:272:46:32

is going to get the ball and get

right inside. Excellent double team

2:46:322:46:38

at the point of attack by Isidora.

I

have to say, Isidora filling in for

2:46:382:46:46

the injured Nick Easton.

2:46:462:46:50

We talked about that two pronged

game of the Minnesota Vikings.

A

2:46:592:47:07

week ago, it was Latavius Murray

with over 100 yards rushing and

2:47:072:47:10

today, you can see the numbers

Jerick McKinnon is putting up. You

2:47:102:47:15

have to remember right now it is a

7-point game, and Cleveland, if they

2:47:152:47:20

had not missed the extra points,

could be a 1-point game.

Will not

2:47:202:47:24

return this one and we start at the

25 live -- 25-yard line, this is a

2:47:242:47:29

misdirection, having Kizer go one

2:48:192:48:23

way and throw back the other.

You

have got to catch and hold that one.

2:48:232:48:33

Isaiah Crowell running hard and

across the 32 about the 31, brought

2:48:362:48:43

down by Anthony Barr. -- 30, two

about.

After trying a big play on

2:48:432:48:52

1st down, you want to try to come

back on 2nd down and Cleveland were

2:48:522:48:56

second in the National Football

League in third and offensive you

2:48:562:48:59

don't want to be in too much of a

difficult situation with 3rd & long.

2:48:592:49:04

-- Minnesota are second. Browns did

not convert towards the beginning of

2:49:042:49:08

the first half and they did in the

end of the first other now they have

2:49:082:49:11

got the drive going, making it a

better 3rd & 4 with a gain on

2:49:112:49:16

second.

A minute and... Kizer

throwing and it is caught by Seth

2:49:162:49:23

DeValve but that is going to be

about four yards short of 1st down.

2:49:232:49:32

And that will wind us down here in

the third quarter.

That is going to

2:49:322:49:39

be a series of missed opportunities

on 1st down, not being able to bring

2:49:392:49:42

the catch in on 3rd down, keeping

the ball low so you can get the run

2:49:422:49:45

after catch.

We come to the end of

the third quarter at Twickenham,

2:49:452:49:52

23-16, Vikings, back to London after

this message and a word from your

2:49:522:49:55

local station. STUDIO: Vikings

edging ahead in the third quarter of

2:49:552:50:00

this fascinating game. It's been a

tough day for both kickers. Kai

2:50:002:50:04

Forbath just sneaking that field

goal and Gonzalez was not so lucky

2:50:042:50:08

on his attempt, missing that, while

success for the next time round,

2:50:082:50:13

though. A chip shot for him to get

three points on the board for the

2:50:132:50:17

Browns, not really enough to

capitalise on that and the Vikings

2:50:172:50:20

have punished them, McKinnon, what a

day he is having and another decent

2:50:202:50:26

celebration as well. McKinnon going

in for the score and then they went

2:50:262:50:29

for the 2-point conversion and they

were successful again through

2:50:292:50:32

McKinnon, 23-16 at the end of the

third quarter, advantage Vikings,

2:50:322:50:37

let's clear up about the 2-point

conversion for newer viewers who

2:50:372:50:39

might have been confused as to why

they went for that rather than the

2:50:392:50:43

extra point.

It makes it a 7-point

game, so if Cleveland scorer

2:50:432:50:47

touchdown and kicked the extra

point, it is a tie, and if they go

2:50:472:50:51

for the single, they're the extra

point, which is not automatic like

2:50:512:50:54

it used to be but still relatively

routine.

Even with Gonzalez! Let's

2:50:542:51:00

have a look at the pass interference

play before the touchdown because it

2:51:002:51:04

interesting and maybe an argument,

were they playing for the flag?

You

2:51:042:51:09

wasn't but they are aware of it, we

call that a possible technique when

2:51:092:51:16

the defender turns to the man but if

anything goes wrong and he holds on,

2:51:162:51:19

you get a flag and a big play, that

has been a big battle all game.

He

2:51:192:51:24

he thought he was moving to the ball

and he did not see it. It was full

2:51:242:51:28

body coverage.

McKinnon is having a

great day.

You see is, running and

2:51:282:51:34

receiving the football, he's a

dynamic football player for

2:51:342:51:37

Minnesota, able to do everything

that a running back needs to do in

2:51:372:51:41

today's NFL comedies fast, strong

and explosive, great player.

He was

2:51:412:51:45

a college quarterback and an option

for them which means he was coming

2:51:452:51:48

down the line of scrimmage all the

time, he would take the snap and

2:51:482:51:51

come down the line of scrimmage and

if he saw an opening, he would run

2:51:512:52:02

or otherwise pass the ball out and

that is exactly what he was doing

2:52:022:52:05

there. Just coming down the line,

waiting for the opening and going

2:52:052:52:07

through it.

A tough break for the

Browns in terms of how that went

2:52:072:52:10

down, how do they respond? We heard

about Griffen and we were talking

2:52:102:52:12

about mental strength.

Looking at

them on the last drive, the defense

2:52:122:52:15

is starting to get a bit tired, they

look a bit gassed up front.

You have

2:52:152:52:18

to sustain drives and that is a good

thing, when you have a good defense,

2:52:182:52:21

they're going to get tight and you

have to sustain drives and give them

2:52:212:52:24

a rest that they can go and perform

and when you see these quick three

2:52:242:52:27

and outs, they are going to get

tired.

Can they bounce back? Playing

2:52:272:52:30

tough all game long than many

thought they would. 23-16 is the

2:52:302:52:33

score.

2:52:332:52:35

COMMENTATOR: A fair catch and made

and bumps into the receiver, Cheryl

2:52:392:52:49

is, no penalty mark applies.

Great,

probably no surprise due, I made a

2:52:492:52:54

friend on the sideline, this is so,

Otto is the cousin of Swagger, the

2:52:542:53:00

Cleveland dog who is that most home

games. He's a mastiff cross and they

2:53:002:53:06

actually employed a British based

almost like an animal casting agency

2:53:062:53:08

to find a lookalike to Swagger, to

find his cousin and Tony Xia and she

2:53:082:53:14

has been training and performing

well at Twickenham.

Do is a she?

2:53:142:53:20

Yes, she is, girl Power in the

corner.

On 1st down, this is married

2:53:202:53:29

to the right side you know we have

lost only for the rest of the day?

2:53:292:53:34

Yes!

We are so delayed getting

through security at times at

2:53:342:53:37

stadiums because Jamie has to stop

and talk to the dog.

Any time

2:53:372:53:41

there's a security dog checking out

our car or by going into a stadium,

2:53:412:53:45

we are stuck for a couple of minutes

because Jamie has to stop and play

2:53:452:53:48

with the dog.

A pick up of three,

2nd & 7.

2:53:482:53:56

Case Keenum holding. Whoa. That is

complete to David Morgan and boy,

2:54:082:54:14

did Case Keenum have a receiver

running free downfield. Stefan

2:54:142:54:18

Diggs, it appeared.

Case Keenum

getting outside the pocket, tried to

2:54:182:54:26

work and flood that side of the

field, had several receivers to that

2:54:262:54:30

side, he missed Stefon Diggs down

the side, but Morgan with the 1st

2:54:302:54:33

down catch.

From the 27, now. Murray

for a couple right up the middle. I

2:54:332:54:48

was telling you during the time-out,

this feels like a game that is

2:54:482:54:51

sitting right there, for the

Cleveland Browns to grab.

We were

2:54:512:54:56

talking about it, you know, when you

0- seven and you are the youngest

2:54:562:55:00

team in the NFL in the Cleveland

Browns, there's also a learning how

2:55:002:55:04

to Win curve and this game has been

presented to the Browns in a manner,

2:55:042:55:08

or at least the Vikings have

presented it in a manner to welcome

2:55:082:55:11

if they are able to take the next

step, they are right there to go and

2:55:112:55:15

get this game and so far they have

not been able to do it. They have

2:55:152:55:18

also been managing DeShone Kizer,

trying not to get turnovers, so

2:55:182:55:23

there's a fine balance.

A pass to

the far side of the field,

2:55:232:55:27

incomplete and Mburu, intended for

Thielan, broken up by Jamar Taylor.

2:55:272:55:35

This is the timing back shoulder

throw, a stop route, you can see

2:55:352:55:39

Thielan looking back.

Wow.

You can

see him clap his hands, that might

2:55:392:55:44

be his first drop of the year, he

does not drop many at all.

2:55:442:55:48

3rd & 10. Once again, very deep

safety for the Browns. Back in

2:55:522:56:02

midfield. Coming after Case Keenum,

who barely got it away over the

2:56:022:56:09

middle and it is complete to

Thielan, 1st down. We have a penalty

2:56:092:56:15

mark down.

Case Keenum is still down

so he is slow to get up.

2:56:152:56:20

REFEREE:

Personal foul, number 51,

defense, roughing the passer,

2:56:222:56:28

driving him into the ground with

full body weight, 15-yard penalty,

2:56:282:56:33

1st down.

That is Jamie Collins.

On

the protection part, you can see the

2:56:332:56:39

call was made for driving him into

the ground so that is the problem

2:56:392:56:43

right there, when you lift and plant

them into the ground. It is one

2:56:432:56:46

thing to make the tackle, it is

another thing when you grab, lift

2:56:462:56:49

and then drive with your body weight

down into the ground.

That is the

2:56:492:56:54

rookie quarterback who was the

back-up today. But Case Keenum is

2:56:542:57:01

still in the line-up and a 1st down.

Going to go for it all, down the far

2:57:012:57:10

side of the field, penalty marker is

thrown on the interference, Stefon

2:57:102:57:16

Diggs, the intended receiver,

covered by Taylor.

You have to

2:57:162:57:20

remember the reason that the rookie

is warming up is about that Case

2:57:202:57:24

Keenum was dealing with a bruised

gestate couple of weeks ago after

2:57:242:57:28

the Baltimore game.

REFEREE:

Defense, number 21, 1st down.

Stefon

2:57:282:57:36

Diggs will be working on the

sideline, tries to get a star to

2:57:362:57:39

move, Taylor gets in front of him

and puts his hands on.

I don't know

2:57:392:57:44

what he's annoyed about.

Me either,

I have no idea what he can possibly

2:57:442:57:48

be arguing on the play.

He is still

arguing, trying to make his point

2:57:482:57:55

but it has been pretty much cleared

up.

47 yard pick up on the play.

2:57:552:58:04

This is Murray, two about the 12th.

A terrific game at defensive end in

2:58:042:58:13

place of Myles Garrett, number one

overall pick. In this year's draft

2:58:132:58:20

out of Texas A&M, suffered a

consumption last week and did not

2:58:202:58:23

make the trip. -- a concussion last

week.

The ridge of the, has only

2:58:232:58:30

played in three games and has four

sacks in them but has not been

2:58:302:58:33

healthy enough to be out there for

most of the season.

2nd & 10. Case

2:58:332:58:43

Keenum with the complete pass, and

Kyle Rudolph to the five.

2:58:432:58:49

Under 11 and a half to play in the

fourth.

Case Keenum being very

2:58:552:59:01

efficient with the football, taking

opportunity to stand in there and

2:59:012:59:05

make throws and this drive, he has

led with several of good decisions

2:59:052:59:08

in throwing.

Minnesota by a

touchdown, looking to add more.

2:59:082:59:15

Case Keenum looks right, now

scrambling and threw it away and we

2:59:202:59:27

get another penalty marker in the

end zone.

2:59:272:59:31

This time, it is Michael Jordan

doing a bit of complaining. Let's C.

2:59:352:59:43

Looks like they are going to get

holding on the Browns.

REFEREE:

2:59:432:59:50

Prior to the pass, holding, number

20, defense, half the distance to

2:59:502:59:56

the goal, automatic 1st down.

That

is Briean Boddy-Calhoun, guilty of

2:59:563:00:01

the hold. It will be 1st & goal.

3:00:013:00:05

For a while earlier in the second

half, Boddy-Calhoun goes out right

3:00:133:00:19

in the middle there. I'd say that's

a hold!

He had him hooked around the

3:00:193:00:30

waist or the arm.

Earlier in the

first off I thought the Vikings

3:00:303:00:34

defense was looking tired, but now

it's Cleveland.

The time in

3:00:343:00:39

possession was substantially

different in the first half to now.

3:00:393:00:42

The Vikings being able to sustain

this drive, they are starting to

3:00:423:00:46

wear out a little bit.

1st & goal.

Murray in the backfield along with

3:00:463:00:51

Case Keenum. Murray...

3:00:513:01:04

Collins and Nate Orchard making the

tackle.

Looks like he was trying to

3:01:043:01:10

work across the formation and kicked

out. The timing and rhythm on that

3:01:103:01:14

play didn't seem in sync.

3:01:143:01:17

Case Keenum with lots of time. To

the end zone, and a leaping grab by

3:01:373:01:43

Kyle Rudolph. Touchdown.

3:01:433:01:51

Kyle Rudolph on the back side, to

Case Keenum's left, the right of the

3:01:563:02:02

picture. The route is supposed to go

to the front side where the

3:02:023:02:07

combination route to the frontside

bus. Case Keenum has time in the

3:02:073:02:11

pocket and works his way to the back

side where Kyle Rudolph is working

3:02:113:02:15

the backline.

Kyle Rudolph's third

touchdown pass of the season.

3:02:153:02:25

Kai Forbath for the extra point, and

it's perfect. 10.06 to play in the

3:02:303:02:38

fourth quarter.

There's no one

better to be stood alongside when

3:02:383:02:45

that goes over than Thibaut

Courtois, a Vikings fan. You have

3:02:453:02:49

been cheering them on. Pretty

special to this close.

It's really

3:02:493:02:54

nice to see live game of them. Last

year we opened the new game with

3:02:543:03:01

Chelsea, and the new training

facilities. It was nice to see that

3:03:013:03:04

and how they work. Nice to see them

playing live.

You saw the whole team

3:03:043:03:09

there?

It was really nice. It's a

different way of training and

3:03:093:03:14

practice than we have in football,

but it's nice to see.

You have had

3:03:143:03:20

the ultimate sporting weekend. Last

Super Bowl you beat Arsenal, then

3:03:203:03:25

got on a plane, then went to the

Super Bowl.

We beat Arsenal, the

3:03:253:03:32

early kick-off. I took a plane at

5pm to go to New York. I was lucky

3:03:323:03:37

enough to be on time for the New

York Knicks against Cleveland. Then

3:03:373:03:42

I went to Houston to see the Super

Bowl the next day, and back to New

3:03:423:03:46

York to see the LA Lakers. I was

lucky with the Super Bowl as well, I

3:03:463:03:52

was really happy I could take that

off my bucket list.

The ultimate

3:03:523:03:57

Super Bowl. Do you channel Tom Brady

in goal? You are calm like him.

At

3:03:573:04:03

first he wasn't having the trouble

finding the right pass. In the third

3:04:033:04:09

quarter he woke up and threw some

incredible passes and unbelievable

3:04:093:04:13

catches by Justin Edelman as well.

You have some big lumps in the

3:04:133:04:18

Chelsea team. Any that could handle

it out there?

Not here, I think. We

3:04:183:04:24

have some strong people at Chelsea,

but I don't think they are enough

3:04:243:04:27

for this.

I written you could. You

have a tough week coming up with

3:04:273:04:32

Roma away. -- I reckon. Another list

being ticked off with the Champions

3:04:323:04:37

League?

I lost a Champions League

final a few years ago, so that's a

3:04:373:04:43

big thing. I still want to win it.

Those big moments like the Super

3:04:433:04:49

Bowl, what does it give you as a

player to be involved in those huge

3:04:493:04:53

occasions?

Those things are amazing.

The Super Bowl, the Champions

3:04:533:04:59

League, they can learn from how they

organise it. I think we can do it

3:04:593:05:03

better in Europe. When you are on

the field, you see people running

3:05:033:05:07

like that and it gives you more

adrenaline to say, next year I want

3:05:073:05:11

to win this or that. It's really

nice.

I have distracted you long

3:05:113:05:16

enough. You can go ahead and watch

it now. Thank you.

COMMENTATOR: The

3:05:163:05:22

drive was helped by two major

penalties. One was getting down

3:05:223:05:25

close to the red zone, and the

second called in the end zone to

3:05:253:05:29

give 1st & goal. A touchback out to

the 25-yard line, and a moment to

3:05:293:05:35

tell you about next week. Thursday

night... STUDIO: Thibaut Courtois

3:05:353:05:41

completing our world-class

goalkeeper bingo. Three out of

3:05:413:05:46

three. The NFL highlights show is on

Tuesday. All the action from week

3:05:463:05:54

eight, reaction and analysis as the

race for the playoffs heats up.

3:05:543:05:58

COMMENTATOR: Proving a lot of people

wrong. Kizer on 1st down, running

3:06:063:06:11

out of time. And going down. Linval

Joseph with the sack.

That's part of

3:06:113:06:21

falling behind by two touchdowns,

you have to hang on the ball longer

3:06:213:06:24

and push down the field more. You

try to get bigger gains into your

3:06:243:06:29

passing. Earlier in the game it was

quick throwing and screen passes. It

3:06:293:06:34

was a lot of quick throws. Now you

need to touchdowns and with less

3:06:343:06:40

than ten minutes you have to hang on

longer.

That's broken up on the far

3:06:403:06:45

side of the field. Rhodes. The pass

was intended for Bryce Treggs. 3rd &

3:06:453:06:52

17.

That happened quickly. All of a

sudden you go from starting to drive

3:06:523:07:00

and think you want to put something

together, then the sack knocks down.

3:07:003:07:04

My question is going to be, do you

eliminate the short game completely?

3:07:043:07:10

You can't, you just have to find a

way to blend it in there. You are

3:07:103:07:15

speaking on both sides of your

mouth, you have to get rid of the

3:07:153:07:18

bowl fast, but you need big yards.

You can't have an eight minute Drive

3:07:183:07:22

to get down the field. You don't

have the time so you have to hang on

3:07:223:07:26

more.

Kizer sets up the screen for

Duke Johnson to get to the 27-yard

3:07:263:07:32

line, eight yards short of 1st down.

Still a lot of time left in the

3:07:323:07:40

game. But a lot of time on the game

or the field.

Britton Colquitt will

3:07:403:07:56

kick.

3:07:563:07:59

The chance to run this back from his

own 22-yard line. Brought down at

3:08:073:08:14

about the 27. Nice open field

tackled by Danny Vitale. STUDIO: The

3:08:143:08:25

Browns are starting to look like

they are running out of gas.

The

3:08:253:08:30

defense has been on the field too

long but now more importantly the

3:08:303:08:33

offense has to become more

one-dimensional. They are down by

3:08:333:08:37

two touchdowns so will only have two

or maybe three more possessions if

3:08:373:08:41

they are lucky. Joseph, he wasn't

worried about a run there. He was on

3:08:413:08:46

top.

Speaking of one-dimensional,

the Vikings offense has been pretty

3:08:463:08:53

one-dimensional for a lot of the

first hour. Kyle Rudolph, we saw him

3:08:533:08:57

at the top of the show and I caught

up with him on Friday. He was

3:08:573:09:01

instrumental here.

Absolutely. You

know he's needs to get the ball

3:09:013:09:05

because he's your playmaker. This

was amazing, and he was the third

3:09:053:09:10

option on the plate. Case Keenum

works to the right-hand side of the

3:09:103:09:13

field and it comes all the way back

to him. Great vision for the

3:09:133:09:17

quarterback. Gets two feet in.

The

Last Ride, the impressive feat from

3:09:173:09:22

Case Keenum has been the way he

moves his feet. -- the last drive.

3:09:223:09:27

He keeps his eyes down field while

he moves. That's huge for a

3:09:273:09:30

quarterback.

Showing his veteran

expertise. You see the difference

3:09:303:09:36

between him and Kizer. He's going

through all his reads and

3:09:363:09:41

progressions. Where is DeShone Kizer

is making mistakes. The Browns are

3:09:413:09:44

in trouble right now. Going against

a Minnesota team with outstanding

3:09:443:09:49

pass rushes. They are going to hunt

the quarterback.

They smell blood.

3:09:493:09:54

Yes they do.

A message on social

media from David, any reason why NFL

3:09:543:10:05

teams are not looking at signing

rugby kickers. Beyond belief some of

3:10:053:10:09

the kicks that are missed.

It has

been done. I try to remember the

3:10:093:10:14

guy's name, he was a South African,

Botha, Dallas brought him in. Gavin

3:10:143:10:24

Hastings was in Scotland. The

problem for a rugby kicker, the

3:10:243:10:27

sweet spot on an American football

is about the size of a quarter. The

3:10:273:10:32

sweet spot on the rugby ball is

bigger, so you have to be incredibly

3:10:323:10:37

precise from a rugby point of view

from the spot to kick the ball. It

3:10:373:10:40

seems easier, but you are also under

pressure. Most rugby kicks are

3:10:403:10:45

taking penalties with no pressure.

The kicker can choose their run-up.

3:10:453:10:51

Here it has to beat boom, boom,

boom. It's a different set of

3:10:513:10:54

skills.

Keep those questions coming

in.

3:10:543:11:02

COMMENTATOR: Latavius Murray owing

to the left-hand side. Let's check

3:11:033:11:11

in with Jamie.

Nothing official from

the team but you see Jamie Collins

3:11:113:11:15

coming back onto the field. He was

in the blue medical tent with a red

3:11:153:11:20

hat, the unaffiliated neuro trauma

consultant. And Boddy-Calhoun was in

3:11:203:11:27

pain with his right hamstring and

calf area. He went to the locker

3:11:273:11:30

room but no official word yet.

Thank

you. 2nd & 2. I would expect the

3:11:303:11:40

Vikings will begin working on taking

time off the clock.

If you are

3:11:403:11:46

Williams you have to do decide to

take more risk and blitzing more

3:11:463:11:49

players. That time they do. They get

the tackle for loss. Campbell coming

3:11:493:11:54

off the edge.

3:11:543:11:57

Work to the inside. He gets a swipe

of Latavius Murray's legs to get him

3:12:053:12:10

down.

They lose a couple. 3rd & 5.

Big moment for this defense of

3:12:103:12:24

Cleveland.

3:12:243:12:28

Case Keenum throwing down the near

sideline. It's incomplete. Stefon

3:12:303:12:38

Diggs fighting for it with Michael

Jordan.

They finally took a chance

3:12:383:12:43

down the right-hand side line.

Michael Jordan had been sitting on

3:12:433:12:48

routes all day. Stefon Diggs running

right by him. Jordan knocks it away.

3:12:483:12:56

Jordan filling in for the injured

Jason McCourty.

The Browns defense

3:12:563:13:08

needed this to get the ball back for

the offense. Around seven minutes

3:13:083:13:12

left in the game.

Bryce Treggs, fair

catch called for and made on the

3:13:123:13:18

31-yard line. 6.59 to play. I think

that qualifies at seven minutes!

3:13:183:13:25

STUDIO: Lots of you getting in touch

with us. Some questions for Osi.

3:13:253:13:35

Simon says, what do you see in Myles

Garrett? He's not playing today, but

3:13:353:13:41

high hopes for him.

He needs to get

on the field more. When he has been

3:13:413:13:45

there he has been a dominant

performer. Four sacks in the three

3:13:453:13:50

games he has played. Speed, power,

explosive, the leveraged to get up

3:13:503:13:55

on the offensive tackles as well.

You rate him pretty high.

No

3:13:553:14:00

question.

Osi is a big reason I love

the Giants. What a guy and a great

3:14:003:14:04

player. This is Mike. Which one is

that? How long does Eli have in New

3:14:043:14:16

York?

He hasn't played as much this

year as he has in the past, but he

3:14:163:14:22

has a couple more years. Looking at

what's going on around him, the

3:14:223:14:26

offensive line isn't protecting him

properly. The offensive coordinator

3:14:263:14:30

isn't helping him out. I think he

has a couple of good years left in

3:14:303:14:35

him. They just need to put him in

the right position.

Do they need to

3:14:353:14:38

change their offense and go back to

going deeper?

No question. It works

3:14:383:14:44

when you have on Odell Beckham Jr on

the field, but they need to adjust.

3:14:443:14:49

It's a personnel question when the

receivers are out. Dude defensive

3:14:493:14:55

players tire more than offensive

players as the game progresses?

It

3:14:553:14:59

depends on the type of game. On

those long drives with more than ten

3:14:593:15:04

players, they wear you out,

especially as a defensive back. They

3:15:043:15:08

have a young guy to run you deep,

coming back with their star receiver

3:15:083:15:11

to come back at you. It sets you up.

You can't be on the field all game.

3:15:113:15:17

And the offense knows what it's

doing. Offense is acting and defense

3:15:173:15:21

is reacting. Sometimes the defensive

line you can run stunts. If you are

3:15:213:15:27

a defensive back you are wondering

what they will do next and then you

3:15:273:15:31

have to go and it uses more energy.

That's why defensive players are the

3:15:313:15:36

best athletes! You have to react to

what the offense does.

3:15:363:15:39

Keep your questions coming in and

lots of action coming up later in

3:15:433:15:49

the NFL of course, week eight with

some great matches which we will

3:15:493:15:52

look at in just a moment.

3:15:523:15:56

COMMENTATOR: Do you never go

anywhere to soak up culture, Trent?

3:15:573:16:04

This qualifies.

Yes, George Edwards,

defensive coordinator for the

3:16:043:16:08

Minnesota Vikings, putting together

a heck of a game plan today, so far

3:16:083:16:12

the Browns with only 223 yards of

offense.

Kizer, incomplete at the

3:16:123:16:18

35-yard line, intended for Isaiah

Crowell out of the backfield and

3:16:183:16:21

Anthony Barr had him covered. This

is a difficult situation for young

3:16:213:16:26

quarterback, especially one who has

been struggling both physically and

3:16:263:16:32

with his self-confidence.

It is and

you have two, down by two scores,

3:16:323:16:36

this is about the time left, the

time that situations, those kind of

3:16:363:16:40

things, you need to hang onto the

ball and that is something, they

3:16:403:16:43

came up with this game plan trying

to do, this game, to try to get the

3:16:433:16:47

ball out of the hands quickly, not

letting hang onto it and not force

3:16:473:16:51

the throne. That time, Ricardo Louis

slips, this is a basic offensive

3:16:513:16:57

play and the footing does not allow

to happen.

Unfortunately for the

3:16:573:17:02

Browns and DeShone Kizer comedies

going to have to run his offense

3:17:023:17:05

without Duke Johnson, who was in the

medical tent and is now headed into

3:17:053:17:08

the locker room with the Red Hat

trailing him, the trauma consultant,

3:17:083:17:13

which usually means it is a

concussion evaluation.

Duke Johnson

3:17:133:17:17

is a huge loss for the Cleveland

Browns offense. Cleveland with just

3:17:173:17:26

two total yards this quarter. That

path is incomplete, near midfield,

3:17:263:17:31

intended for the tight end Seth

DeValve.

Excellent throw. The

3:17:313:17:37

windows are so small for the Browns

right now. There's not a lot of

3:17:373:17:41

separation, there has not been a lot

all-day, and the fact that Kizer

3:17:413:17:44

even got that in the location he

did, squeezing it in between

3:17:443:17:48

coverage, it would have been a

difficult catch but still one you

3:17:483:17:52

can come up with.

6.43 on 4th down,

would you go for this?

No, not at

3:17:523:17:58

4th & 10 on your own 32. I think you

have to kick it away and hope the

3:17:583:18:03

defense gets another three and out,

and you are still trying to find

3:18:033:18:07

that unconventional scoring

opportunity so whether it comes in

3:18:073:18:09

special teams on defense, not quite

the time to do it.

Marcus Sherels

3:18:093:18:13

inside his own 15. Make the first

couple of tacklers missed and he

3:18:133:18:21

makes it to the 24-yard line. That

is DeShone Kizer.

Marcus Sherels

3:18:213:18:28

right at the end of the tackle but

both arms around, he knows what part

3:18:283:18:31

of the game disses and they are

going to be coming to attack the

3:18:313:18:34

football as we take a look at the

members over the -- numbers over the

3:18:343:18:38

four quarters. Cleveland's big

numbers in the second half when they

3:18:383:18:41

put together that drive right before

the end of the half to get the

3:18:413:18:44

touchdown.

Six and a half to play.

3:18:443:18:52

McKinnon with running room. And out

for another 1st down at about the

3:19:013:19:07

34-yard line. Ibraheim Campbell

tripping him up. So, the Cleveland

3:19:073:19:16

Browns came into this game with some

serious injury concerns and they

3:19:163:19:21

will leave London with the same.

Both teams have a bye week next week

3:19:213:19:27

so whatever injuries they have, they

can come back this season,

3:19:273:19:31

obviously, Joe Thomas is not coming

back, he has had surgery but the

3:19:313:19:36

guys will have an opportunity to try

to get themselves healthy to come

3:19:363:19:38

back after thereby week. -- after

their bye week.

McKinnon. Gets to

3:19:383:19:50

about the 40. Word from the sideline

is that Briean Boddy-Calhoun has a

3:19:503:19:55

hamstring injury and is out for the

rest of the day. It becomes a war of

3:19:553:20:02

attrition sometimes for head

coaches.

It does and right now the

3:20:023:20:05

Browns, it is just that type of

season, it has been, it is the young

3:20:053:20:11

football team and they came into

this game, look how confident they

3:20:113:20:14

played in the first quarter, jumped

out to lead right away after the

3:20:143:20:17

turnover and got the points and

battling right until the third

3:20:173:20:19

quarter, it was a close football

game and suddenly, it is a two

3:20:193:20:23

touchdown spread with five minutes

to go. It just takes a mental toll

3:20:233:20:28

after a while.

Second and four. Case

Keenum under the gun. Got hit just

3:20:283:20:33

as he released. Christian Kirksey

doing the chasing.

Credit to Hue

3:20:333:20:40

Jackson and the coaching staff, the

players have not given up, they knew

3:20:403:20:43

coming into the game, obviously the

Vikings are on a roll, they have won

3:20:433:20:47

three in a row and they are sitting

on top of their division. You feel

3:20:473:20:51

really good about what the Vikings

are doing what direction the team is

3:20:513:20:54

going, and they are going to

continue to get healthy as they get

3:20:543:20:58

out of the buying week but then for

the Browns, the fact they are 0-

3:20:583:21:01

seven, what are they going to have

to play for, what kind of team will

3:21:013:21:04

we see? A young team that isn't

going to show up? We have not seen

3:21:043:21:09

any of that today, they came out and

had a great game plan, tried to get

3:21:093:21:13

the ball, not hang on to Kizer.

Suddenly, it has just fallen apart.

3:21:133:21:19

That passed down the sideline is

going to be ruled the catch at the

3:21:193:21:22

41-yard line, Stefon Diggs. We

talked earlier about how important

3:21:223:21:26

it was that this event is to get him

back. Orange -- for this offense.

He

3:21:263:21:34

provides a vertical thread,

tiptoeing on the sideline, back

3:21:343:21:37

shoulder catch, does not have any

wobble going to the ground after he

3:21:373:21:41

gained control.

Looks like I time

out is called and they challenge

3:21:413:21:49

from Hue Jackson.

The only thing to

say is maybe he didn't have full

3:21:493:21:53

control, the ball did bobble so

maybe when the ball was after the

3:21:533:21:58

foot came off of the ground. There's

a bobble, he secures it. His knee

3:21:583:22:09

comes down, the ball does not move

as it hits the ground so it looks as

3:22:093:22:12

though he had it secured before that

happened.

You are going to call

3:22:123:22:17

that?

I think it stays a catch.

There was a bit of a bobble

3:22:173:22:22

initially but when he had control of

it, that is when his knee came down

3:22:223:22:27

and there was new movement from the

ball when the ball made contact with

3:22:273:22:30

the ground, so I think it remains a

catch.

We don't know how this will

3:22:303:22:34

turn out but the thing I like about

working with you, you are just as

3:22:343:22:37

convinced whether you are right or

wrong, just as convinced!

And

3:22:373:22:42

usually, the times I'm wrong, I keep

that conviction. I don't ever give

3:22:423:22:47

in to it, right? You know what's

going to happen, this is going to be

3:22:473:22:53

overturned, and I'm going to say I

still think it is a catch.

As well

3:22:533:22:56

you should because you believe

strongly.

Fall of those reasons I

3:22:563:23:00

said, the ball moved initially but

he secured it before his knee came

3:23:003:23:04

down and there was no movement.

Let's see if the referee agrees.

3:23:043:23:07

REFEREE:

The ruling on the field has

changed, the catcher did not have

3:23:073:23:13

possession of the ball when he was

in inbounds and did when he was out

3:23:133:23:16

of bounds, it is an incomplete pass,

it will be 4th & 4, at the 40-yard

3:23:163:23:22

line, the club is correct.

I'm just

so Brad.

You know the conviction

3:23:223:23:27

going to come with. The right foot

is off the ground, I think he

3:23:273:23:30

secures it and gets his knee down.

Oh, you had me set up for that, you

3:23:303:23:35

thought it was incomplete and you

set me up!

4.54 to play in the

3:23:353:23:40

fourth. And Bryce Treggs is deep.

I

would tell you this, though, from

3:23:403:23:52

now it is four dan territory, I

don't care where on the field you

3:23:523:23:56

are, you have to make up two scores,

so if you'd asked me that on the

3:23:563:24:01

last series, now I think if they are

able to get this going, they may not

3:24:013:24:06

have great field position but you

have to do it at this point.

It is

3:24:063:24:10

high. And fair catch called, late,

but he got the arm up and the Browns

3:24:103:24:20

will start from their own 16-yard

line and the Browns have had their

3:24:203:24:26

troubles today.

They have. This

extra point initially going off the

3:24:263:24:30

right upright. A pond that the

Vikings ended up recovering and

3:24:303:24:39

getting three points from. And then

the Isaiah Crowell fumble to start

3:24:393:24:43

the second half, the first drive of

the second half, the Vikings end up

3:24:433:24:46

recovering and getting a field goal

out of that and then an opportunity

3:24:463:24:49

in the third quarter to take the

lead, missing the field goal.

The

3:24:493:24:53

last three possessions, Cleveland,

three and out. Four Times today

3:24:533:24:59

overall. Kizer, trying to escape

trouble. Down at the 15-yard line,

3:24:593:25:07

Tom Johnson.

We said this all the

way back in the first quarter and

3:25:073:25:14

last series, because of the score,

you have to hang onto the ball

3:25:143:25:17

longer because you are trying to get

the ball down the field and stretch

3:25:173:25:20

the field because you have to get

two scores so that plays right into

3:25:203:25:24

the pass rush of the Minnesota

Vikings.

Kizer Riki fax today, a

3:25:243:25:27

quick pass to the nearside and

Coates breaking free and across the

3:25:273:25:32

25. Thought he could have got more.

Coming up on four minutes to play.

3:25:323:25:40

In the fourth quarter.

It is still

four down territory, I know you are

3:25:403:25:48

only on your own 25 but I think with

31 -- with third one, if you don't

3:25:483:25:52

it, you have to go for it on 4th

down.

Isaiah Crowell with a 1st

3:25:523:25:59

down, forward to the 33, the Browns

in hurry-up mode, Harrison Smith

3:25:593:26:03

making the tackle.

You can see the

Vikings are still staying

3:26:033:26:07

aggressive, Harrison Smith is down

inside the box, down towards the

3:26:073:26:10

line of scrimmage so they have one

safety in the middle of the field

3:26:103:26:12

and now he is dropped deeper into

coverage.

Kizer coming across the

3:26:123:26:17

middle of the field, Isaiah Crowell,

again, and two about the 42-yard

3:26:173:26:21

line and another 1st down.

I think

the Vikings are fine with this, keep

3:26:213:26:27

the ball in the middle of the field,

keep the blaze short, keep them

3:26:273:26:31

inbounds, keep the clock moving. --

Keadby plays short. -- keep the

3:26:313:26:40

blaze short. And when I said that,

Harrison Smith drops back.

3:26:403:26:44

Incomplete over the middle, Isaiah

Crowell the intended receiver,

3:26:443:26:47

Anthony Barr was there.

I think if

you are DeShone Kizer and you see

3:26:473:26:51

Harrison Smith come down like he did

on the last snap with the other

3:26:513:26:55

safety going back to the middle of

the field with Anthony Harris going

3:26:553:26:58

back to the middle of the field, I

think when you get those one-on-one

3:26:583:27:01

is, that is when you have to take

your shots down the field because

3:27:013:27:03

even if you don't get the

completion, there's a chance for

3:27:033:27:07

pass interference call which

suddenly becomes a 25, 30 yard gain

3:27:073:27:11

which are the chunks you need in

order to comeback from touchdowns

3:27:113:27:14

down.

2nd & 10.

3:27:143:27:18

Kizer, sideline pass and that is too

low. Intended for Bryce Treggs.

3:27:223:27:28

Griffen hit Kizer low on that, he

beat Spencer Drango. Kizer is trying

3:27:283:27:38

to limp it off a little bit.

Spencer

Drango has done a pretty good job on

3:27:383:27:45

Everson Griffen, who came into this

game with nine sacks, at least one

3:27:453:27:49

in every game this season.

Spencer

Drango did a nice job keeping

3:27:493:27:53

Griffen of Kizer. It was Spencer

Drango who was the one who hit

3:27:533:27:58

Kizer, that caused the limp.

Just

under three minutes to play. DeShone

3:27:583:28:05

Kizer with the throw. Penalty marker

is down. Over David Njoku.

3:28:053:28:15

They make David Njoku on the push.

REFEREE:

Pass interference, offense,

3:28:193:28:25

number 85, the penalties declined,

result of the play is 4th down.

That

3:28:253:28:36

is an easy call! Definitely a push.

No offense, but you could make that

3:28:363:28:42

call!

Yeah!

No choice for Hue

Jackson but to go for 4th down,

3:28:423:28:50

fourth in ten. 2.56 on the clock.

You have to try to get whatever

3:28:503:28:58

matchup you can so it will be

interesting to see, Harrison Smith

3:28:583:29:01

is that linebacker depth so you have

man-to-man with safety help. They

3:29:013:29:04

are going to blitz and not give him

time.

Here they come and there he

3:29:043:29:09

goes, down at the 31-yard line,

Everson Griffen.

3:29:093:29:14

Harrison Smith brings the pressure

from the inside and that is to Kizer

3:29:253:29:28

had to avoid the first time, and

Griffen is there to clean up.

3:29:283:29:35

So, Griffen gets his sack for the

day.

That is what Griffen will say

3:29:403:29:46

thank you to Harrison Smith for when

they get to the side.

2.50 one.

3:29:463:29:50

Hue Jackson and Mike Zimmer, the

head coach of the Vikings, very good

3:29:563:30:03

friends off the field, have worked

together in the past.

On a couple of

3:30:033:30:08

different staffs and they have a

great deal of respect for one

3:30:083:30:10

another, when we had a chance to

talk to both of them.

Hue Jackson

3:30:103:30:16

says, "I love him like a brother but

I know he will try to pound us into

3:30:163:30:21

the dirt".

Mike Zimmer, the second

game in a row we have had the

3:30:213:30:25

Vikings, and the locker room that he

has built, the team that he has

3:30:253:30:28

built, he says it's like a family,

the guys like playing for each

3:30:283:30:31

other, they want to work for each

other. Any time you can get that

3:30:313:30:34

kind of atmosphere in the locker

room, it carries over onto the

3:30:343:30:37

football field.

3:30:373:30:39

This Vikings team about to go to 6-2

in the NFC North. Two minutes to

3:30:453:30:52

play in Twickenham. STUDIO: Everson

Griffen, a player we keyed in on at

3:30:523:30:56

the top of the show. Another sack

for him. He has recorded a sack in

3:30:563:31:02

each of his team's first eight

games. The players to do that in the

3:31:023:31:11

modern-day NFL game, only two other

players. Good company.

All the

3:31:113:31:15

credit to Harrison Smith, forcing

the quarterback to step back. Right

3:31:153:31:20

back into the path of Everson

Griffen. No doubt about that stuck

3:31:203:31:29

with the two guys you mentioned

played for the Colts in the Peyton

3:31:293:31:32

Manning Iran when they could run up

big leads and the two of them could

3:31:323:31:36

sit there and come at guys. --

Peyton Manning

3:31:363:31:49

era.

Is he in line for the defensive

Player of the Year?

I think other

3:31:503:31:57

guys are getting more all-round

performances. You have a number 2.2

3:31:573:32:06

with the sacks. If you Linval

Joseph, you could have a great

3:32:063:32:10

season, occupying blockers, creating

stuff and putting pressure up the

3:32:103:32:14

middle, but nobody will vote for you

in Player of the Year because you

3:32:143:32:18

have to demonstrate more.

Interesting question from Dan who

3:32:183:32:22

says, will there ever be an NFL- UK

combine to get UK players into the

3:32:223:32:28

draft process. We seem more European

and UK players trying to get on the

3:32:283:32:35

rosters.

That's something we are

working on, interesting to ask that

3:32:353:32:39

question. You will see that in the

future. We need more international

3:32:393:32:44

talent and more players in the UK

making it to the NFL because the NFL

3:32:443:32:48

is serious about having a team and

players here.

They used to run

3:32:483:32:53

something like that but it was

basically for European amateur

3:32:533:32:56

players. They looked at it for NFL

Europe back in the days where they

3:32:563:33:00

were bringing international players

along. The problem right now is that

3:33:003:33:04

to get to the NFL you almost have to

play in the States and get that kind

3:33:043:33:08

of experience. Guys like Watson

going over and playing college ball.

3:33:083:33:15

It would be a great idea to have one

for colleges, to get European

3:33:153:33:21

amateur players, getting college

scouts going over.

The high school

3:33:213:33:25

level, getting them into the college

system that way. In terms of what

3:33:253:33:30

you can learn as an athlete without

having played football since you

3:33:303:33:33

were six or seven,... We will have

to come back to that question

3:33:333:33:38

because we can go back to the

action. COMMENTATOR: Minnesota

3:33:383:33:48

Vikings, they have thereby weak and

then they are looking at a trip to

3:33:483:33:51

Washington and then hosting the Los

Angeles Rams in the very near

3:33:513:33:56

future. Looking to go 6-2, and the

Packers team without Aaron Rodgers.

3:33:563:34:05

Trailing. Hue Jackson, 0- eight.

Detroit coming up on Thanksgiving.

3:34:053:34:13

Detroit beat them, that's their last

loss. This will be their fourth win

3:34:133:34:18

in a row for the Vikings. The last

loss was against Detroit's, 14-7.

3:34:183:34:25

Minnesota time-out here.

You

wouldn't expect Cleveland to do so?

3:34:253:34:30

I wouldn't. At this point in time

when you are down 14, you have the

3:34:303:34:37

injuries you have, Duke Johnson

left, body Calhoun, if you are Hue

3:34:373:34:43

Jackson you are just try to get back

as healthy as you can.

And you are

3:34:433:34:47

trying to figure out, although a

field goal unit has come on for

3:34:473:34:51

Minnesota. A 51 yard attempt by Kai

Forbath.

You will not want from

3:34:513:35:03

here, so this makes sense. -- you

will not punt from here.

That's as

3:35:033:35:13

good as it gets. The Vikings at

three. They extend their lead to

3:35:133:35:23

33-16 with 1.09 to play. Looking at

the schedule come you start to try

3:35:233:35:29

to figure out where Hue Jackson's

first win of the season is going to

3:35:293:35:33

come from after their bye Greek,

heading to Detroit's device Alliance

3:35:333:35:41

and then the Jaguars. -- bye week.

The Jaguars have had their

3:35:413:35:48

struggles. Then heading out to LA to

face the Chargers. That was the

3:35:483:36:04

Chargers' only win last year,

against the then San Diego Chargers.

3:36:043:36:11

For the Browns it will have to come

on the heels of a healthier team,

3:36:113:36:15

their first victory.

We made the

point about how young a football

3:36:153:36:22

team it is. You have to try to find

ways to win. They had a 1-point lead

3:36:223:36:26

in the third quarter and things

unfolded from that point.

3:36:263:36:33

STUDIO: Tuesday night highlights,

NFL, every Tuesday all through the

3:36:333:36:39

season. Reacting to the weekend's

action.

3:36:393:36:44

Kizer with a short pass over the

middle. David Njoku brought down at

3:37:053:37:12

the 33.

Because of the health of the

team, you are thinking if you are

3:37:123:37:20

DeShone Kizer, that you are going to

do what he just did, get the ball

3:37:203:37:24

out of your hands quickly, don't

hang onto long and stretch down the

3:37:243:37:27

field. But at this juncture, 44

seconds and ticking away.

The quick

3:37:273:37:34

slant is complete. Rashard Higgins.

Higgins' first catch of the day. We

3:37:343:37:46

come up on 25 seconds.

Some people

might be asking, why run these

3:37:463:37:51

plays, why not take the knee and run

the game. This is such a young

3:37:513:37:56

football team and quarterback, you

want to get in as many ribs as you

3:37:563:38:00

can. They all pretty conservative

plays here.

Matthew Dayes into the

3:38:003:38:08

38. Everson Griffen is way back

here. As offside as you can be. At

3:38:083:38:15

the 35-yard line. The clock is going

to run down on this international

3:38:153:38:26

series finale at Twickenham.

3:38:263:38:29

STUDIO: Which one of the three of

you can explain to me what Everson

3:38:313:38:37

Griffen was doing at the end?

He was

trying to let everybody know the

3:38:373:38:41

game was over, I'm not running any

more plays, that's it.

Cleveland had

3:38:413:38:47

a free play if they could have run

to pick up the penalty!

Comfortable

3:38:473:38:52

win in the end for Minnesota, 33-16,

never in doubt!

This was the best

3:38:523:39:01

game of the series this year. It was

a good game for three quarters.

We

3:39:013:39:06

can hear from one of the stars of

the game, Adam Phelan.

We were just

3:39:063:39:12

discussing your knee slide. As

somebody who was walking around in

3:39:123:39:16

an Arsenal shirt all week, that was

planned.

Absolutely, I have been

3:39:163:39:20

waiting for this London game to do

that. I see the guys on Fifa do it

3:39:203:39:25

all the time.

Fantasy players the

world over are like, yes, Adam and

3:39:253:39:31

the Vikings players. What was

different about the team today?

We

3:39:313:39:35

kept persevering. We didn't start

the way we wanted but kept playing

3:39:353:39:40

and kept playing. We have a good

group here and keep getting better

3:39:403:39:43

every week and good things will

happen.

A quick word on Case Keenum,

3:39:433:39:49

he's had some headlines, playing

here last year didn't go well for

3:39:493:39:51

him. How important was that?

I don't

think he thought about it at all. He

3:39:513:39:56

has been focused on this game,

playing well for us, he has a lot of

3:39:563:40:01

confidence right now. He has been a

big part of us winning games.

Go,

3:40:013:40:05

gunners.

I will wear that Arsenal

jersey proud home.

STUDIO: Adam

3:40:053:40:15

Thielen had a good game once again.

The story of his season. The Browns

3:40:153:40:23

offense turned up at least for three

quarters of the game.

In fairness,

3:40:233:40:30

the Browns did what we said they

would have to do to be in with a

3:40:303:40:34

chance of winning.

Take away some of

the mistakes and they were in with a

3:40:343:40:38

chance of winning into the fourth

quarter.

They are not a good enough

3:40:383:40:42

team not to turn the ball over. The

turnovers were costly because the

3:40:423:40:48

Vikings capitalised.

We said

turnovers and protecting the ball

3:40:483:40:51

was crucial. And a strong start to

the game for 18 low morale was

3:40:513:40:55

crucial and that's exactly what the

Browns got, the very first Minnesota

3:40:553:40:59

Drive. The Vikings are one of the

better teams in the NFL at turning

3:40:593:41:04

the ball over. Isaiah Crowell

scoring the touchdown for the

3:41:043:41:14

Browns.

Minnesota were not aligned

and they took advantage. We thought,

3:41:143:41:23

will they get rolling, what are we

watching? Making mistakes.

Osi felt

3:41:233:41:30

good about his prediction, but not

so much at the end. The Vikings

3:41:303:41:36

responded and Adam Thielen was the

man on the receiving end of their

3:41:363:41:40

first touchdown.

I love him because

he's sneaky fast. Yes, the defense

3:41:403:41:48

makes the mistake, but he knows it's

been made and if you sit there at

3:41:483:41:51

that part of the end zone then Case

Keenum would find him. They have a

3:41:513:41:55

good relationship. When the play

breaks down, he is the guy he will

3:41:553:41:59

look for. It's just a quick look

from Case Keenum to get the ball in

3:41:593:42:03

there.

A mistake from the defensive

backs, blaming each other.

The

3:42:033:42:10

quarterback is supposed to sink a

little bit deeper to cover that

3:42:103:42:13

play. You can see what Case Keenum

did, looking at the safety off to

3:42:133:42:18

the side. It was frozen in place. It

allowed the separation, but the

3:42:183:42:23

cornerback has to be back there.

The

cornerback looking into the

3:42:233:42:27

backfield, but he sees there is

nobody on his side of the field. As

3:42:273:42:30

the guy runs by him, you can't just

let him go.

It was game on at that

3:42:303:42:35

stage. A critical passage of play

led to this touchdown for DeShone

3:42:353:42:40

Kizer, the young quarterback under

criticism, but driving his team to a

3:42:403:42:44

crucial touchdown.

It was huge. You

saw from the celebration how these

3:42:443:42:51

guys needed it. They had some life.

They rallied around and that's good

3:42:513:42:55

for a young team. We thought they

might have been heading in the right

3:42:553:42:58

direction.

Josh Cribbs was in the

studio watching that with us,

3:42:583:43:03

chatting to us on air and called the

sneak.

You noticed Johnson, the

3:43:033:43:10

defensive tackle of Minnesota,

propelling him over the goal line as

3:43:103:43:13

he makes the tackle. Kizer has a bit

of sideways momentum.

Rightly happy

3:43:133:43:18

about that touchdown and we were

happy for him given the start to his

3:43:183:43:23

season and NFL career. How did he do

here today?

He did OK. He wasn't

3:43:233:43:28

consistent but the turnovers didn't

help the team much. Overall it was a

3:43:283:43:33

pretty good game and I think they

were good enough to win if they

3:43:333:43:36

didn't have as many turnovers.

He

showed his good side, his strong

3:43:363:43:41

points and weak points. You look at

the weak points and think they

3:43:413:43:46

should be coached out, and with a

better surrounding cast around him,

3:43:463:43:49

he should be able to not do them. A

lot of positives.

Isaiah Crowell, a

3:43:493:43:57

good season last year but he hasn't

really brought it now to stop he got

3:43:573:44:00

a touchdown today and he's talking

to us now.

We have talked about how

3:44:003:44:04

well you played in this match.

Another mentally exhausting

3:44:043:44:08

performance to get that result.

We

had to come out here and play our

3:44:083:44:12

best game. We played against a great

team, great defense and offense. We

3:44:123:44:16

had to come out here to play our

best. We had to do what we do best.

3:44:163:44:23

We have great athletes on our team,

we just had to come out here and

3:44:233:44:27

keep grinding.

What's the coach

saying to you about how you put

3:44:273:44:32

these performances or at least

results behind you, if not the

3:44:323:44:35

performance?

We just have to keep

working. You don't always get the

3:44:353:44:39

results you want, you just have to

keep grinding and working.

3:44:393:44:43

Eventually the wins will come. We

can't let it get us down. We can't

3:44:433:44:48

get upset, just keep working and

keep moving forward.

We hope the bye

3:44:483:44:52

week goes well for you.

Appreciate

that.

A much-needed bye week for the

3:44:523:44:59

Cleveland Browns after this trip.

This is tough because last week they

3:44:593:45:04

lost 9-6 to ten seat in a game

Tennessee should have won easily.

3:45:043:45:08

They stayed in it and couldn't win

in the end. Was it Kris Hughes said,

3:45:083:45:14

they haven't won a game but they

have to do some point and at some

3:45:143:45:19

point they will surprise somebody by

putting it together.

3:45:193:45:20

The fourth team in the Super Bowl

era to start consecutive season 0-

3:45:253:45:28

it come the Cleveland Browns.

The

fourth?

One of the reasons they did

3:45:283:45:33

not get their account up and running

today was McKinnon, the play you

3:45:333:45:37

called the catalyst of the Vikings

offense, Jason.

Absolutely, they

3:45:373:45:41

were kind of slow, nothing was

barking and they started to get him

3:45:413:45:45

the ball, running the ball, catching

it out of the backfield but what

3:45:453:45:49

makes him dynamic is his ability to

stretch the defense for adultery,

3:45:493:45:52

starting to go wide which makes the

defense spread out and opened up the

3:45:523:45:55

gaps in the middle and they went

right back to running through the

3:45:553:45:58

gaps. Great, dynamic play, James a

gambler.

Impressive day for him.

I

3:45:583:46:03

like the guy, he was an option

quarterback in Georgia Southern, I

3:46:033:46:08

think they just got up into the top

divisions of football but they were

3:46:083:46:10

not there when he played. Like Josh

Cribbs, he will do anything to make

3:46:103:46:16

the team. You want me to be running

back, RBA running back, you would be

3:46:163:46:20

to be a receiver, I'll do that. He's

really developed as a running back,

3:46:203:46:24

though, he's got the full set of

their skills.

The rookie running

3:46:243:46:29

back was looking at and he went

down, but the Vikings seem to have

3:46:293:46:32

sorted in and moved on without even

blinking, and Kyle Rudolph sealed

3:46:323:46:36

the deal for Minnesota if it was in

any doubt, he made sure, Osi, that

3:46:363:46:41

it was done and dusted.

Absolutely,

it was a great read, throwing into

3:46:413:46:45

traffic but look at the athleticism

of this man, the dynamic playmaker

3:46:453:46:49

he is, going to get the football,

that is why you want a tight end of

3:46:493:46:53

that size and magnitude in the game

because he can do things like that.

3:46:533:46:57

Credit to Case Keenum away, you

talked about the routine made on the

3:46:573:47:04

touchdown and had a pretty composed

a.

He was really good in the pocket,

3:47:043:47:07

that was the fourth read, he went

from one side of the field to the

3:47:073:47:10

next, most quarterbacks cannot be

that boys but he did that all day,

3:47:103:47:13

great passing.

And he can move, so

he knows to an extent he can go

3:47:133:47:16

through his progression and still

move as the pocket collapses around

3:47:163:47:18

him, he's not afraid of that. That

is a tough skill to learn because a

3:47:183:47:22

lot of quarterbacks, as the pocket

gets muddy and they get busy, they

3:47:223:47:26

start thinking about protecting the

ball and give up on it.

Sun Jersey

3:47:263:47:31

swapping, there and before we wrap

things up, the Vikings win again, in

control of the NFC North, it is fair

to say, quick question for each of

3:47:363:47:39

you, how far can they go this

season, Jason?

I think they can win

3:47:393:47:44

the division and if they do that,

they get home field advantage and it

3:47:443:47:47

is a good chance for them because

they are built on defense.

They are

3:47:473:47:50

strong defensively but they got a

tough couple of games coming up and

3:47:503:47:53

I think they can at least make the

playoffs but I don't see them going

3:47:533:47:56

further.

I agree with Osi, I don't

think the Super Bowl will see the

3:47:563:48:04

Vikings in Minnesota, the Delphi,

Seattle, similar teams, I think

3:48:043:48:06

Seattle have more weapons and a

better defense.

Plenty more sport to

3:48:063:48:10

come, rugby league World Cup

highlights at 5pm, and 11:15pm in

3:48:103:48:17

Wales and 130 aim in Scotland on BBC

One the Mexican Grand Prix, and Mark

3:48:173:48:23

Chapman is on match of the day at

10:30pm. The women's football show

3:48:233:48:27

is that 11:30pm and 1230 aim in

Scotland, and NFL this week is on

3:48:273:48:32

Tuesday at 12:15am. Big thanks to

all my guess at Twickenham, and

3:48:323:48:39

congratulations to the Minnesota

Vikings, a big win for them. We will

3:48:393:48:41

see you next time.

3:48:413:48:43

Did you see the light bulb

come on then?
