LONDON — The Washington Redskins could become the first NFL team to play two games in London in one season — in consecutive weeks, no less.
The Redskins will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 30 at Wembley Stadium, the NFL announced Wednesday. Washington also could wind up facing the St. Louis Rams a week earlier at Twickenham Stadium, depending on the Redskins' finish in the NFC East this season.
"Really? Two? In one year? Really? Hmmmm. I never heard of that," Redskins safety Dashon Goldson said after practice in Ashburn, Virginia, on Wednesday.
While some of Washington's players sounded eager to play a game in Britain, including those who've never been overseas, the prospect of a pair of weeks there did not sound all that enticing to everyone.
