For the first time in franchise history, the Philadelphia Eagles are playing a regular season game outside of the United States. The Eagles are in London, of course, to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
It goes without saying that this is a critical game for both sides. After faring well in 2017, the Eagles and Jaguars now each find themselves sitting at a disappointing 3-4 record through seven games. No one wants to be the team that further drops to 3-5.
The Jags have some advantages heading into this game. They have significant experience playing in London; Sunday marks their sixth “home” game overseas.
