Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers used his arm instead of his leg to get the team on the board in the first quarter against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in London.
Akers was lined up in the shotgun formation with 2:37 left in the first quarter. He rolled to his right looking like he was going to run the ball. He stopped and found tight end Josh Oliver wide open streaking across the field.
