Minnesota Vikings Teach London Kids American Football

The Minnesota Vikings have touchdown in London and their first stop took them to Wembley Stadium for a community day with school children from the local London Borough of Brent.

Before they even stopped at their hotel, the entire Vikings team, coaching staff and cheerleaders hosted some of London’s luckiest kids for a day of NFL inspired activities and drills. Adam, 11, who took part in the punting drill, said: “It was a really special day, I’ve never seen American football before and now I love it! The players are really funny and so big!”

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings @ Wembley

The first of the two NFL Internation Series games takes place today.
 The Minnesota Vikings vs the Pittsburgh Steelers 6pm (UK times)
Both teams are actually 0-3 (0 wins, 3 losses) down this season, combining a total of 0-6.
That is a bad record, but I think that the record will make the game all the more interesting, this is because the teams are going to be clawing at each other to get the win as they need it to have a chance to get into the playoffs. One things for sure, everybody watching the game taking place in the legendary Wembley stadium is gonna' have a lot of fun.
Both teams need a win

How are the teams liking London?

Lets start in how the teams are preparing for the international series game.
Pittsburgh arrived in London on Friday morning and had just one practice session in England.
Minnesota in the other hands took the completely different approach, they have been in England all week, training and staying at the Grove Hotel in Watford

How are the teams doing this season?

Minnesota opened with two losses to NFC North rivals Detroit and Chicago before a stunning upset at home to Cleveland.

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, were rocked by an opening-day defeat by Tennessee at Heinz Field before losing to Cincinnati in week two and again at home to Chicago last Sunday.
