"Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season kicked off with an overtime showdown between the 49ers and Rams on Thursday night. San Francisco secured the 26-23 win after stopping Los Angeles running back Kyren Williams on fourth-and-1 on the 11-yard line. Sunday's action began in London, as the Vikings salvage their road trip thanks to a 12-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter lift Minnesota to win against the Browns, 21-17."
"The team was eager to accept the NFL's offer of becoming the first team in NFL history to play consecutive international games in different countries, believing it would neutralize the home-field advantage of what would otherwise have been two AFC North road games. They also were confident that their internal infrastructure could plan well for the challenge. In the end, after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, they salvaged the trip Sunday by taking their one and only lead with 25 seconds remaining."

The Vikings accepted the NFL's offer to play consecutive international games in different countries, aiming to neutralize home-field advantage and relying on internal infrastructure to manage the travel. The trip included a loss in Dublin to the Steelers and highlighted challenges such as an injury-ravaged offensive line, making a repeat 10-day road trip unlikely.
