Week 8: at Cleveland Browns (in London)

Sunday, October 29

Browns’ 2016 record: 1-15

Vikings’ last win in London: 2013

Based on last year’s Cleveland Browns team, this seems like an easy win for the Vikings this season. However, the Browns will be adding a number of top draft selections to their roster and do have a few talented parts of their team that could make them competitive in 2017.

This will be the second time Minnesota has traveled to London, England to play a regular season game. In 2013, they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-27 at London’s legendary Wembley Stadium.

The Vikings matchup against Cleveland will not be taking place in Wembley, but will instead be played at Twickenham Stadium. The New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams played a game last season at the same stadium.

Luckily for Minnesota, this game in London still counts as an away game on their schedule so they will still play eight games inside U.S. Bank Stadium in 2017.
