Eagles Could Play The Rams In London In 2016
That will change next season.
The team was selected to play in the NFL’s International Series and will host a regular-season game against the Washington Redskins on October 30 at Wembley Stadium. Cincinnati will be involved in one of the three London games next season. The Redskins now have the same record as the Eagles at 4-6 while the Giants have five wins and the Cowboys three.
“The Washington Redskins are proud to be one of the most popular sports teams in the world”, President Bruce Allen said. And we’ve long known that we have fans in London and the United Kingdom A number have visited Cincinnati for games over the years. The late-season collapse became as iconic of the Jack Del Rio era as the strong defense and running game were. The Colts will travel to London for an October 2 “road” game against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. They faced the Buffalo Bills in Toronto at the Rogers Centre during the 2011 season. Bengals season ticket holders will only be fiscally responsible for seven home games in 2016, as well as two preseason games. “Between the University of Cincinnati home football games previous year, moving training camp downtown and the concerts that they put on, Paul Brown Stadium and the Bengals are an economic development engine that benefits all of us”. “Not a lot of guys get the opportunity to go there and play, but the environment is unbelievable”. “We’ll see. I’m open to new things”.
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. Backup CB Darqueze Dennard suffered a significant shoulder injury during the game and has been ruled out for Sunday against the St. Louis Rams….
“It’s going to be a humbling experience”, Jean Francois said. This is great news for the Jaguars and the stability of the team in Jacksonville, which has come to embrace London as our home away from home. The Jaguars owner, Shad Khan, has been consistent with wanting his team to play in London, having stated that he wants a long-term deal for the team to play in London regularly. “No, just leave us over there and let us have a ball”. “I love the attitude of the team and how passionate their fan base is”. The other two will be held at Wembley Stadium.
