Uploading via Instagram Butland shared snaps of himself and his party, publishing a group photo along with the caption: 'NFL Sundays.'
Following an afternoon of action it was the Vikings who came out on top, beating their opponents by a 33-16 score line.
Butland has plenty of reason to enjoy a break, after playing his part in Stoke's crucial victory over high-flying Watford on Saturday.
The Potters' struggles in recent weeks have seen them slip to the lower echelons of the Premier League table.

Victory over Watford on Saturday, courtesy of a 16th minute Darren Fletcher strike, has gone some way to alleviating the problems.
The Potters climbed up to 13th place following the win, now standing on 11 points after 10 games played.
They return to action next Saturday when Leicester City arrive at the Bet365 Stadium.
