NFL Game Summary - Cleveland at Minnesota

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Many people thought the Cleveland Browns were waving the white flag when they traded running back Trent Richardson earlier this week.

Instead, the Browns pulled out all the tricks in Sunday's 31-27 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Brian Hoyer, filling in for an injured Brandon Weeden, threw a 7-yard TD pass to Jordan Cameron with 51 seconds left to give Rob Chudzinski his first win as the head coach of the Browns.

Hoyer, making his second career start, completed 30-of-54 passes for 321 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Weeden was ruled out earlier in the week due to a thumb injury.

Cameron caught six passes for 66 yards and three scores for Cleveland (1-2), which shipped Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts in a surprise blockbuster trade. Josh Gordon, who was suspended for the first two games, had 10 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Christian Ponder completed 25-of-42 passes for 228 yards and an interception for the Vikings (0-3), who sit last in the NFC North. Ponder also carried the ball five times for 46 yards and two touchdowns.

Adrian Peterson rushed for 88 yards and a score on 25 carries.
