Mike Tomlin: London trip will be "business as usual" for Pittsburgh Steelers

Mike Tomlin has said that this week will be "business as usual" for the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite playing their game in London.

The AFC North side will travel to the UK on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings at Wembley.

The head coach told the team's official website: "We are excited about the work that is in front of us here before we go to London. We will finish all of our normal work here, all of our normal work that we would do up until Thursday.

"What we are going to do though is go through our normal processes in the last 48 hours in preparation for game time. That's our Friday preparation and our Saturday walk through. We look forward to doing that. We look forward to representing the NFL, and hopefully acquiring our first victory in the process.

"It's purely a business trip for me personally. This is just a road game for us. We are happy to represent the NFL in international play. But in terms of what it is that we are doing, our level of focus and the things that we need to do in preparation and in play, it's just a road game for us."

The Steelers and Vikings are both without a win so far this season.
