The Browns' defense allowed an 80-yard drive in under 3 minutes and timeout errors cost rookie Dillon Gabriel his first NFL win, dropping the team to 1-4, analysts said.

  • On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns lost 21-17 in London after Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz threw a game-winning touchdown to Jordan Addison with 25 seconds left.
  • By surrendering an 80-yard drive in under three minutes, the defense cost the team, while Stefanski's use of all timeouts and an incomplete third-and-long after eleven seconds gave Minnesota extra time.
