The Jaguars today will play two of their home games at Wembley Stadium over consecutive Sundays in London in 2020, making them the first team in NFL history to play two home games outside of the United States in the same regular season. Opponents TBD. Big news.

Nope.  Sooner rather than later.  Shahid Khan owns the London soccer team, Fulham.  This will make a nice addition to his British "empire."
The NFL is heck-bent on expanding in Europe and Mexico.  Tampa next???

Hopefully London gets to play Seattle on a Thursday night game.

This is not fair for the other team that will not have to travel over there.  There are plenty of cities in the US who would love to have a NFL team, if Jacksonville can't support them, then move them.

set it up so the 2nd week team is doing it out of a bye or off a Thursday nighter and it will be fine.

Some context on the #Jaguars playing two games in London: My understanding is it’s not a permanent scheduling strategy. It’s a bridge through a $700 million project Shad Khan is embarking on with the city to build up the area around TIAA Bank Field. Could be one year only.
