Jaguars to play Colts in London in 2016

The Giants, and the rest of the NFC East, are scheduled to play road games next season against the team from the NFC West that has the same 2015 divisional finish. If that holds, St. Louis will play the third-place team from the NFC East. “We look forward to seeing our fans from everywhere come together to sing Hail to the Redskins in London”.

The Redskins are playing across the pond next season.

It’ll be a division opponent and an early game for the first time in London next year for the Jaguars.

The NFL announced their UK International Series for the 2016 season this morning, and the Indianapolis Colts were included among the three games to be played in the UK next year.

Since the start of the NFL International series in 2007, the NFL has achieved accelerated growth in the UK.

It also raises the question of whether or not the Redskins gain a competitive advantage for their second game, by having extra time to adjust to being overseas and having their body clock in better shape than the Bengals, who wouldn’t be arriving until a week later. They also said in addition to London, it might add another game outside of Britain next season.

Notes: CB Adam “Pacman” Jones didn’t practice on Wednesday because of a foot injury that kept him out of the Bengals’ 34-31 loss at Arizona on Sunday night.

“It’s a great experience to go to London”, Jean Francois told Redskins.com. I always kept wondering when I would be able to play back over there again. We can play all the games here stateside, I’ll be ecstatic.

Three new teams and a new stadium will be part of the trio of games for British and European NFL fans, with the games to be played on 2 October and then back-to-back on 23 and 30 October.

A CVC spokesman declined to speculate about what steps the organization might take to keep the team from playing in London. I thought everybody from the National Football League standpoint handled it really, really well. Roughly half of the Bengals’ starting lineup is in the final year of contracts, so there’s no telling how many of them will be around for it. But some were excited about the possibility of finally making the trip.

Neither the 49ers nor the Raiders will be involved in the London series next season. This year, the Miami Dolphins played the New York Jets in an AFC East battle at Wembley.

The thought of possibly spending two weeks in London for consecutive games was even more troubling for Blackmon.
