NFL sets the lineup for its three 2014 London games

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/24/nfl-sets-the-lineup-for-its-three-2014-london-games/

Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Cowboys-Jaguars, Lions-Falcons, and Dolphins-Raiders matchups during a media event in London, where the Jaguars will host the 49ers on Sunday.

The dates have not been determined, but the time difference means that the games will be played at 1:00 p.m. ET on a Sunday. Also, look for the three games to be played before Thanksgiving, since the NFL prefers having no bye weeks after the fourth Thursday in November. Every team that plays in London gets a bye the following weekend.

slight problem: No one over there can stand them. Believe it or not, the surprisingly large number of fans over there have rather strong team loyalties. Other than New England, I can't imagine why.

Also, there are no jaguars in Britain, so a name change would be in order. London Big Bens? (Maybe they could trade for Roethlisberger. ) London Tubes? London Double Deckers?

If they're going to play like they have this season, the people are going to call them that anyway.
