The New York Jets travelled across the pond to take on the Minnesota Vikings in NFL action Sunday morning with the game taking place in London.
The pregame scene offered up a hilarious image for those in attendance.
Each team took the field early to get a few warmup reps in before entering game action. Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein had his routine briefly interrupted by the Minnesota cheer squad.
The group of cheerleaders came off the sidelines in formation, quickly surrounding the special teamer on the field.
Zuerlein refused to let it end his warmup early!

Despite his being surrounded on each side, he continued on with his kicking. Talk about focus!
Luckily, Greg Zuerlein successfully avoided the cheerleaders while surgically navigating his kicks through the crowd. A mishit could’ve been catastrophic!
His practice paid off as he made all three of his attempts in Sunday’s action, connecting on a pair of extra points and one 32-yard field goal.
Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be enough to lift his team to a victory.
The Jets fell in the contest, 23-17, with starting signal caller Aaron Rodgers tossing a trio of interceptions. The final pick came late in the fourth quarter with New York driving for a go-ahead score.
With the loss, the Jets fell to 2-3 on the year.
