The 2024 NFL London Games come to an end this afternoon when the Jacksonville Jaguars play the New England Patriots.
Last weekend’s thrilling opening to the Jags’ most recent extended trip across the Atlantic saw them lose to the Chicago Bears and No. 1 choice Caleb Williams 35-16 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, adding even more pressure to head coach Doug Pederson, who has been under fire.
After their thrilling victory over the Atlanta Falcons a year ago, Trevor Lawrence and company are now heading to Wembley. The Jaguars, who have only won once this season—a nerve-wracking victory against the Indianapolis Colts in week five—come to the home of English soccer lying at the basement of the AFC South and anxious to avoid slipping to a miserable 1-6.
The New England Patriots, who are currently 1-5 after a difficult start to the Jerod Mayo era following the resignation of iconic head coach Bill Belichick in January after 24 years in charge, are a team that they cannot afford to lose to.
In order to start the season behind one of the NFL’s worst offensive lines, the Pats were first hesitant to select Drake Maye with the third overall pick. However, after a surprise victory over the Bengals in Cincinnati in week one, they had a change of heart after four straight losses with limited veteran Jacoby Brissett at quarterback.
In a difficult game against the Houston Texans last weekend, the former North Carolina standout made his first career start and showed a lot of potential by throwing for 243 yards and three touchdowns in addition to his two interceptions.
