Well, the Raiders are coping all right so far. Derek Carr makes three first downs before defensive end Akiem Hicks goes down injured for the Bears. He'll need treatment.

The first TD of the night is an absolute beauty. Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is in for a five-yard score but that doesn't tell you the genius of this. He sees he's going to be tackled on the goal line, dives forward, takes a massive hit, flips forward, lands heftily on his back but holds on.

Not good for his chiropractor. Excellent for his team.

The first ever NFL game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is under way. How will the Raiders cope with this Bears defence?

Former Raiders quarterback Jim Plunkett on Vontaze Burfict: "There have been other instances where he's been suspended by the league so he's been in this kind of situation before. It's sad that he's going to be out for the entire season but it is what it is. Sometimes he got a little too carried away on the field."

We've just had the coin toss, with Tottenham striker Harry Kane - a big NFL fan - keeping a close eye on proceedings, peering over the officials' shoulders as they did the honours. Chicago to kick so we'll soon see this awesome Bears defence in action.

The Raiders will have to make do without Vontaze Burfict today...which is maybe not such a bad thing. He's become something of a liability.

He got ejected during last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. He's already been suspended for a string of late, dangerous hits during his NFL career and this time the league came down on him hard. They've banned him for the rest of the season.

And BBC pundit Osi Umenyiora didn't mince his words when asked about the controversial Raider....

Andrew Priestley: The real question this evening is whether we’ll see more points on the board from two defensive sides like the Bears and the Raiders than Bayern Munich managed goals mid-week in North London

And best of luck to the six sides yet to win this season...

New York Jets

MIami Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals

Denver Broncos

Washington Redskins

Arizona Cardinals

We caught up with former Raiders quarterback Jim Plunkett in the week. After leading them to two of their three Super Bowl wins, he's now an ambassador with the organisation and has travelled to London for today's game.

"The Bears play excellent defence," he said. "That's thanks to a former Raiders player in Khalil Mack but Chicago have always had a formidable defence.

"Offensively, they struggle to put on points, as the Raiders have. But I like the Raiders' chances. It's going to be a tough struggle for our offence but hopefully we can find a way to move the ball and put some points on the board."

As much as it pains me, I'm going with the Chicago Bears. The Raiders are coming off the back of a very impressive win last week but I think they're going to be overmatched by the Bears.

The Tottenham stadium really does look ace in NFL guise - it doesn't look like it's been shoehorned in at all. Proper design.

This is week five of the NFL season. Just three teams are yet to lose a game. Well done you three:

New England Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs

San Francisco 49ers

Most NFL coaches come across as good characters when you see them - Jon Gruden of Oakland is no different...

Former NFL cornerback for Houston Texans

I'm going with the Bears because a good defence travels well and obviously they've travelled to London - let's see them pull this out.

It's White Hart Lane, kids. But not as we know it.

The grass pitch is stored in a garage while the NFL fans flood in. It's a fabulous arena for sure.

Can it deliver a fabulous match?
