On the Vikings’ opening drive, Kirk Cousins scrambled and found Justin Jefferson in the end zone in the first quarter — only to have it called back because Cousins was past the line of scrimmage.
So the Vikings went and did it again.
Cousins connected with Jefferson for the touchdown, but this time it wasn’t called back. Minnesota took the lead 7-0. Big defensive stops minimized the scoring for the rest of the half. At the time this article was published, the Browns led the Vikings 11-7.
