Due to a seemingly never-ending wave of injuries, the Vikings' offensive line is going to look quite a bit different for Sunday's game against the Browns in London. Justin Skule will play right tackle. Blake Brandel will play his first game at center. And to Brandel's left, rookie Joe Huber will make his NFL starting debut at left guard.
The Steelers led 24-6 before the Vikings began a valiant comeback led by Carson Wentz, who despite not having three offensive linemen produced two late scoring drives. Pittsburgh, however, was able to avoid a monumental collapse after turning the Vikings over on downs on their final drive.
