The Jacksonville Jaguars are back in their second home for the start of the 2023 NFL London Games this afternoon.
Over the next week, Doug Pederson’s side will make history as the first team ever to play two matches outside of American soil in the same season, having visited these shores every year since 2013, excluding the Covid-affected 2020.
A tough showdown with the Buffalo Bills looms at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next weekend, but first up it’s back to Wembley to face the Atlanta Falcons.
It was a promising start to the season for Trevor Lawrence and the Jags, seeing off the Indianapolis Colts in an all-AFC South showdown, but they’ve really flattered to deceive since then with a pair of defeats by the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans dropping them to 1-2 before they fly across the Atlantic.
They are likely to face another stern test from a Falcons team that are 2-1 under Arthur Smith with rookie running back Bijan Robinson already excelling, having seen off the Carolina Panthers in an NFC South tilt in week one before a dramatic comeback win over the Green Bay Packers was followed by a disappointing loss in Detroit.
