Quarterback Derek Carr said that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ispossibly the best hes played after directing the Oakland Raiders into a thrilling win in the places first NFL game.
Ahead of the Chicago Bears fought with 21 points, the Raiders led 17-0 at half-time.
However a touchdown with just two minutes watched 24-21 is won by Oakland in front of the stadiums new record crowd of 60,463.
Everything about it is first class, the detail in each room, explained Carr.
This is one of the greatest stadiums I have ever played in my entire life – even if not the best.
Sundays match was over four decades in the making, together with all the NFL declaring that they would stage at least two games per season at Tottenhams brand new dual-purpose stadium over a decade.
It was put back due to delays in the conclusion of the 1bn venue, which finally opened this April although the first NFL game to take place in the arena was first scheduled for 2018.
Only five days after playing in Spurs Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich, England striker Harry Kane was not just in presence but took to oversee the pre-game coin toss.
I am a football fan and its cool to me I got to speak to Harry Kane before the match, Carr added. I informed him Im a massive fan and he said exactly the same, and I am like,Just how can you know who we are? I told him,I play with as you on Fifa.
But it was not the turf. The stadium had been changed, with the grass soccer pitch dipped beneath the south stand on trays that were enormous to reveal an surface under.
England cricketer Jonny Bairstow was one of the record presence, which saw a scoreless first quarter earlier Josh Jacobs and DeAndre Washington conducted in touchdowns against the Bears vaunted defence, with Daniel Carson.
Yet the match turned at the beginning of the quarter until David Montgomery conducted in a touchdown because a careless throw from Carr missed Jacobs from the backfield and ex-Raider Khalil Mack pounced on the ball.
That brought the crowd that was mostly Bears-supporting and within 12 minutes Chicago have been in front Allen Robinson, for the first time.
But at a tense finale, the like of which has not been seen lately London games, a touchdown was claimed by the Raiders later Carr orchestrated a drive.
Among the 13 plays was a fake punt on fourth down until Foster Moreau made two catches to set the place for Jacobs up to jump in the end zone to keep the drive alive.
