Vikings, Browns face off in London in rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel's first start

Colin Cowherd explains why the Minnesota Vikings should not be patient with J.J. McCarthy's development and future. The QB will be out 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain.

The NFL will have a game in London for the next three weeks. The first one is between the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns this weekend. 

The Vikings and Browns play on Sunday, Oct. 5, at 9:30 a.m. ET in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The game will air exclusively on the NFL Network with Kenny Albert as the play-by-play announcer, Jonathan Vilma as the game analyst and Sara Walsh as the sideline reporter. 

For the Vikings, it marks their second consecutive game overseas. They played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin in Week 4 and lost 24-21, dropping them to 2-2 on the season.
