Hello and welcome to the Thursday edition of Inside the Huddle.

I'm your host, Neil Reynolds, joining me to reflect on another special Wembley weekend

and to look ahead to week eight in the NFL is Mike Carlson of Channel 4.

Mike.

I've recovered from the exertions of the weekend.

It was another great weekend and it's no longer just a day, is it, with this Wembley game, the International Series game. It's become a whole big event and a series of events. It is. And I should point out, this week, I am also Channel 4 and the BBC. You were, yes. I didn't know whether that was last week or this week, so I just went back to Channel 4.

I did enjoy the game when I got into the Sky Studios, primarily because I got to have a sit down for three hours, because we've been running around here, there and everywhere. But when I was on that stage at the fan rally and you look out at Trafalgar Square and you just see thousands and thousands of jerseys. And it was the same at Tailgate as well. I mean, it was just a sea of people. So many different jerseys represented and to see the fans really embracing the whole weekend.

It was great.

I saw a picture of Nat Coombs with a bunch of Tampa cheerleaders.

Did you?

Thought he really needs my help in that situation.

My favorite question of the weekend was when Nat on stage at the fan rally

asked the cheerleaders, what three things do you need to be a successful NFL cheerleader?

And backstage, I did give an answer,

but I cannot repeat it here in this family podcast.

What was the third?

What was the third thing?

My favorite, two things.

One is I had the good fortune to sort of focus on Matt Forte in the pregame for BBC.

So when he took off on his touchdown run, and I'm yelling, Green Bay Power Sweep, Green Bay Power Sweep,
