NFL: longest day of play in league history! From the London game to the thriller in Pittsburgh

Sunday had a lot to offer in the NFL, not least because it was longer than any Sunday before.

From the London game between the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings to the Sunday Night game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, there were plenty of stories, victories and defeats.

And a long day. The longest in NFL history since the merger in 1970.

As the league announced, the kickoff in London took place at 9:32 a.m. Eastern Time (3:32 p.m. CEST).
