    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium played host to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears as American football returned to the capital on Sunday. Before the match, Spurs manager Postecoglou got a chance to have a brief meet up with compatriot Taylor. Going by the footage, the former Celtic boss was thrilled to take up the opportunity.
