What were the good, bad, and interesting things from the Minnesota Vikings Week 8 game against the Cleveland Browns played in the United Kingdom?

The Minnesota Vikings were looking to go into the halfway point of the 2017 NFL season as well as their bye week with a 6-2 record. However, to get there, they would need to beat the 0-7 Cleveland Browns.

To make the situation even more difficult, the Vikings would need to get the win as the “road” team in the United Kingdom as part of the National Football League’s International Series in Twickenham.

Thankfully, the Minnesota Vikings were victorious in the UK, defeating the Browns by a final score of 33-16. In a game that looked like it could have been a struggle for the team, they pulled away in the second half to grab the victory.

It’s time to talk about Minnesota’s ups and downs from Week 8 of the NFL season. And, as always, let’s kick it all off by talking about the positives!
