Game analysis is provided by
Osi Umenyiora, two-time
Super Bowl-winning
defensive end with the
New York Giants, and
Sam Quek, English former hockey player and Olympic gold medallist. Due to United Kingdom broadcasting regulations over the amount of advertising per hour, a standard
simulcast of an American football broadcast from the
United States from
CBS or
Fox is not permitted without additional content during American commercial breaks. British broadcasters have historically featured analysis during these breaks, but NFL Big Game Night, in an attempt to appeal to a family audience, includes game-show-style segments during the early game broadcast, in which two teams of four supporters—each representing one of the sides featured in the broadcast game—take part in a series of challenges, such as riding a bucking bronco while catching footballs. A winning team then faces another challenge to earn a trip to an NFL city in the United States. During the game show portions, the team captains are usually Umenyiora and Quek, but sometimes special guests participate. The later game airs as a more traditional telecast on
5Action, branded as
5NFL for the period, and is hosted as a pair by Quek and Umenyiora, who also provide analysis of the game during breaks, along with a guest
pundit. ==Criticism==
