The underlying thought is the NFL wants at least two NFL franchises located in London. The Jacksonville Jaguars has been giving up one home game per season for the past several years. It's actually a bonus for them as they just about NEVER play home games before a sold out crowd......residents of Jacksonville are constantly in "black-out" when it comes to games being televised locally.
Eventually, the NFL will be sending four teams over to London at a time. Teams A&B will play each other while Teams C&D play each other. All four teams will remain in London for the week and then Teams A&C and B&D will play......all four teams will return to America and have their bye week.
There is NO DOUBT the NFL wants a fourth game on Sunday's and this is their solution.
SO - anyone have thoughts why the NFL TV ratings are continuity slipping this season? The World Series kicked Eagles vs. Cowboys azz Sunday night.
