Minnesota Vikings 7-7 Cleveland Browns
Minnesota quarterback Carson Wentz wriggles away from the Browns defence to fire off a long pass to Jalen Nailor but it's pulled back for fouls from both sides.
The quarterback then opts to go himself and scrambles for five yards, before Ryan Wright punts back upfield and Dillon Gabriel takes the ball again for Cleveland.
Just over five minutes to play until half time.
Akers had it in the locker...

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell speaking on NFL Network on that trick play with Cam Akers:
"There's some looks that you get sometimes that make you think you can pull off a play like that.
"Cam and I have a pretty great history together, which started with me evaluating him in college where he threw about four or five touchdowns so it's something luckily we knew about that he could do."
O'Connell worked with Akers at the Los Angeles Rams too, winning the Super Bowl. Akers did throw the ball a few times at Florida State, going five for eight, but this was his first throw in the NFL.
'If someone's the very best, we're going to face off'
Minnesota Vikings 0-7 Cleveland Browns
Myles Garrett missed practice on Wednesday and still had strapping on his right ankle when he spoke to media on Friday, but good luck trying to stop Cleveland's defensive star from playing.
"I'm a never say die, kind of guy," he said. "So you'd have to kill me to keep me from being on the field. Pretty much."
Asked about facing Minnesota's depleted offensive line, he added: "That makes no difference. At the end of the day, I gotta prepare as if their starting line was out there. And last I checked, one of the highest-paid tackles (left tackle Christian Darrisaw), was out there and playing some good ball. So I have to be at my very best and make sure the guys around me are doing the same.
"I love going against the best. I like playing on the right side [on the line of scrimmage], just because that's what I'm used to, And you know, I mix it up, go left, right, and you know, sometimes we go to the three technique. But now if there's someone who's the very best and at my position, we're going to face off. And if he was on the left side, well, I got to make sure I go over there and see what heâs about.
"I think that was what last week was about [against Detroit]. I want to see Penei [Sewell] and Christian [Darrisaw] on my side, so I'll take the brunt of that duty, and I look forward to it."
