Browns vs. Vikings: Week 8 start time, TV, radio info

The Cleveland Browns will play their first regular season game in London on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Here is how to watch or listen to the game.

The Cleveland Browns are in London on Sunday for a “home game” against the Minnesota Vikings.

At this point of the season, what is there left to be said about the Browns?

Sunday’s game will mark the midway point of the season and the Browns are still looking for their first victory of the year and the second in two years under head coach Hue Jackson.

The Browns will be without their best offensive player in left tackle Joe Thomas, who is on injured reserve with a torn triceps, and their best defensive player, defensive end Myles Garrett, who did not make the trip while being in the league’s concussion protocol.

Cleveland has also turned back to rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer as the starter, but how long that lasts is anyone’s guess. Jackson is displeased with Kizer’s propensity for turning the ball over, so Kizer may last one series, one quarter or one play.

No one on the Browns is engaged with the idea of playing a game in London, least of all wide receiver Kenny Britt.

When you put all that together is sounds like a recipe for a long afternoon at Twickenham Stadium, followed by an even longer flight back to Cleveland.
