The day before the NFL released the full 2023 schedule, the league released the international games and specialty games on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and more. One of the international games that was announced was a trip for the Baltimore Ravens to London in Week 6 to play the Tennessee Titans.
Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo was born in Nigeria, but moved to Scotland when he was a kid, making the trip to London in 2023 all the more special for him. Ojabo was asked about his emotions on playing in London and advice to give his teammates, and expressed plenty of excitement about the development.

“The emotions – God’s plan. It’s just spending [time] back home and being surrounded by my people. I know my people from Scotland are going to come watch. And any advice – just embrace it. It’s a lot different than America. The accent is different; the environment is different. But it’s going to be a blessed experience.”
