Week 5 · 2025–26 season
Vikings
W 21-17 at Browns · Oct 5, 2025
Misery Index · Uneasy
Vikings fans took the ugly win over Cleveland but can't decide if a 21-17 escape is a vibe or a warning.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Wentz found J.Addison from short range with 30 seconds left to steal one in Cleveland, but the road to that throw ran through a Z.Scott fumble, a W.Reichard 51-yarder shanked wide right, and an offense that spent three quarters looking allergic to first downs. The J.Jefferson 38-yarder set the table; the line, somehow, held. A win is a win, but nobody's pretending this looked like a contender.
