"After an epic weekend in Ireland, the NFL roadshow makes the short trip to England to continue this season's record run of international games. Seven overseas matches will be played across five countries - three of them in London over the next three Sundays. Dublin hosted its first regular-season game last Sunday, with the Pittsburgh Steelers holding on for a thrilling win over the Minnesota Vikings."
"And the Vikings have also hopped across the Irish Sea to become the first NFL team to play in two foreign countries in the same season. They face the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham on Sunday, a game which features two of the NFL's top-10 players, external - Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson and Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. Another of the league's top 10 - Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II - then comes to town,"
"The Vikings did well to threaten a late fightback against the Steelers given their offensive line has been decimated by injuries, leaving back-up quarterback Carson Wentz exposed. Wentz will make his third start in place of injured starter JJ McCarthy and will face one of the NFL's most fearsome defensive players in Myles Garrett, who already has four sacks this season. Minnesota reached last season's play-offs but come in with a 2-2 record, while Cleveland are 1-3 after Sunday's 34-10 defeat at Detroit."
Three NFL regular-season games will be played in London on 5, 12 and 19 October 2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium, with 14:30 BST kick-offs and BBC Sport live text commentary from 13:30. Seven international regular-season matches are scheduled across five countries this season, following Dublin's first such game where the Pittsburgh Steelers narrowly beat the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings travel to Tottenham to face the Cleveland Browns, featuring top players Justin Jefferson and Myles Garrett. Injuries have weakened the Vikings' offensive line, thrusting Carson Wentz into his third start, while the Browns have struggled and placed Joe Flacco under scrutiny.
