With the St. Louis Rams pulling out of the London games scheduled for 2013 and beyond, the Jacksonville Jaguars have volunteered to take their place.

Quote from: Jacksonville Jaguars
With a goal of raising the profile of the franchise and the community, Jaguars owner Shad Khan along with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday announced that the Jaguars will play one game in the United Kingdom in each of the next four regular seasons.

I feel pretty much the same about the Jags as I do about the Rams, so unless they're planning to play the Cowboys in the UK, I'll be watching the game on TV.   :)

Then again, there may be more than one NFL game in the UK each year:

In addition to the Jaguars’ 2013 game in London, the league is working to add a second game in the U.K. next year, with the intention of finalizing details in the coming months.

You've cleared that up for me as when I heard this news I was sure I'd heard someone else had already commited to a few seasons.

Makes sense for the Jags though, the number of people in UK who holiday in Florida, try to tap into that market.

We are hoping to take a trip down to Florida in Nov after visiting family in New England, and a friend in Tampa is going to look into getting Bucs tickets.....they are playing the Falcons so as a Saints fan I guess I'll root for whoever aren't challenging the Saints for the division! Though I'd prefer to root for the home team.

I went to the Wembley game a few years ago when the Saints played the Chargers, but I'd rather see a NFL game in the US, it's nothing like it at Wembley - yet that is the only time DW has been to an NFL game.
