New Orleans Saints v San Diego Chargers - Part One

Duration: 2 hours, 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales (Analogue)

Jake Humphrey presents coverage from Wembley where the San Diego Chargers face the New Orleans Saints. It is the second time that the National Football League has staged a competitive game in London, following on from last year's fixture between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins, which attracted more than 80,000 fans and proved a huge success despite the damp conditions.

San Diego hope to emulate the Giants, who beat Miami and then went on to win the Super Bowl itself the following February. Last season, the Chargers reached the last four and are expected to win at Wembley against a New Orleans side, who are the sentimental favourites given the way their city has tried to rebuild itself after the destruction of Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

NFL Legend Jerry Rice joins Jake in the studio, with commentary from the CBS duo of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms. Show less
