New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein had his warm up hilariously interrupted by rival cheerleaders on Sunday.
Zuerlein was going through his usual pre-game routine on the field before the Jets played the Minnesota Vikings in London.
But, as he lined up an attempt at a field goal, the Vikings cheerleaders descended on him during their own routine.
With little regard for Zuerlein’s preparations, the cheerleaders formed two lines around the kicker and continued to perform.
Not to have his warm up interrupted, Zuerlein decided to continue and kicked the field goal between the rows of cheerleaders.

Some fans accused the Vikings of deliberately instructing their cheerleaders to perform around the kicker.
One posted on X: ‘Even the cheerleaders are in on the head games.’
Another commented: ‘Minnesota playing chess out there.’
It marked what was an eventful warm up for Zuerlein after he also nearly wiped out an opponent.

As he was practicing, Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson was catching passes.
As Jefferson ran from behind Zuerlein to in front of him to catch a ball, the kicker swung his leg.
Jefferson managed to jump out the way and avoid what could have been a completely unintentional injury.
The Jets re-signed kicker Greg Zuerlein to a two-year contract in March. It was said to be worth $8.4 million with $4.2 million guaranteed.
