jaguars and Rams Set to Clash in Week 7 NFL London Game
LONDON – The Jacksonville jaguars and Los Angeles Rams will face off at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on Sunday, October 19, as part of the NFL’s ongoing international series. This marks the latest effort to expand the league’s global footprint, bringing American football to fans across the Atlantic.
The game is anticipated to be a closely contested matchup, with BetMGM listing the Rams as a field goal favorite at a neutral site. Historically, NFL games played in London tend to be low-scoring affairs. While both teams boast effective defenses, the Jaguars’ success hinges on generating turnovers, a statistic known for its week-to-week variability, whereas the Rams possess a consistently strong and versatile pass rush.
Beyond the on-field competition, the cultural exchange is also a notable aspect of the game. The Jaguars’ defensive line recently discovered that “having a chinwag” is British slang for conversation, a revelation that reportedly caused much amusement within the team.
This game is one of five NFL international games scheduled for 2024, with contests already played in Brazil and Ireland, and future games planned for Germany and Spain. Here’s a full schedule:
