The NFL touches down in London for one last time in 2024 on Sunday, as the New England Patriots face the Jacksonville Jaguars under the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium.
Both teams arrive on a run of poor form, sitting bottom of the AFC East and AFC South respectively with a record of 1-5. The Patriots fell 41-21 to C.J. Stroud’s Houston Texans last time out, while the Jags were humbled at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, losing 35-16 to the Chicago Bears, as Caleb Williams ruled proceedings despite the best efforts of Trevor Lawrence.
The Pats are unbeaten in the English capital, having taken down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7 in 2009 and the St. Louis Rams 45-7 in 2012. London is a regular base for the Jags, who possess an equal 6-6 record after playing there 12 times over the last decade.
Both teams will be wary of continuing their skid as struggling offence meets extremely penetrable defence. The Jags continue to let the opposition walk through and are regularly conceding 35+, but we’re yet to see the Pats put up more than 21 points this season.
The Wembley turf is an excellent opportunity for one of these sides to inject some momentum into a poor run.
