NFL teams that play in London tend to prefer arriving late in the week, believing it maximizes performance on Sunday.

“It had a big impact because we didn’t feel like we put our best foot forward, so we were pretty much going to do something different,” the Ravens coach said Wednesday. “We weren’t going to do it the same.”
This time, the Ravens left for the British capital on Monday, giving them nearly a week to adjust and prepare for the Tennessee Titans.
