London called, and the Vikings answered. In a foggy, early-window slugfest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Minnesota edged Cleveland 21–17 with just enough flair to wake up the States. The Browns struck first after a short field, as rookie QB Dillon Gabriel flipped a 1‑yard score to Harold Fannin Jr., but Minnesota’s counterpunch was spicy — a little razzle-dazzle with Cam Akers uncorking a 32‑yard touchdown to Josh Oliver. Cleveland nudged ahead 10–7 at the break before the purple push arrived. Final: Vikings 21, Browns 17. (espn.com)

Out of halftime, the Vikes found their groove. Carson Wentz (25/34, 236 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT) steered a methodical march, leaning on Justin Jefferson (7/11, 123 yards) and Jordan Addison (5/6, 41 yards, 1 TD) to set up Jordan Mason’s goal-line hammer for 14–10. Cleveland answered with some old-school grind — Quinshon Judkins (23 carries, 110 yards) slicing between the tackles — and Gabriel zipped a red-zone dart to David Njoku (6/9, 67 yards, TD) to reclaim a 17–14 edge.

Fourth quarter brought full-on drama. After Will Reichard pushed a 51‑yarder wide, Wentz went into surgeon mode in the two-minute: quick hitters to T.J. Hockenson (6/6, 38 yards), a chunk to Jefferson, then the money ball — a right-side strike to Addison from 12 yards out with 0:30 left for the London dagger. Ballgame. (espn.com)

Tip your cap to Cleveland — the kid didn’t blink. Gabriel (19/33, 190, 2 TD, 0 INT) looked composed in his first NFL start, while Njoku and Judkins kept the Browns in business. And if the vibe felt big, that’s because it was: this one became NFL Network’s most-watched London game ever, averaging 6.4 million viewers. (espn.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Jordan Addison — cool, crafty, and clutch with the game-winner when the whole stadium held its breath.

I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and that’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
