The National Football League had to go outside the country to find any weather that could affect play on the field. The only venue with rain in the forecast for Week Seven is in London where the Jacksonville Jaguars play their second straight game but will move from Tottenham Hotspur
Stadium where they met the Chicago Bears last week to Wembley Stadium for today’s game
Last Sunday, they lost in London to the Chicago Bears, today, the competition is greatly reduced when the New England Patriots come calling.
For the Jaguars, the question is how much does the competition have to be inferior for them to win? A team that came into the season with high hopes comes into play today with one win in six decisions.
While the Jaguars return to action in London, runningback Saquon Barkley returns to his old stomping grounds in New Jersey today when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the New York Giants.
A first-round draft choice of the Giants in 2018, he was selected second overall while the Cleveland Browns opened the draft while selecting quarterback Baker Mayfield and the New York Jets followed the selection of Barkley while also taking a quarterback, Sam Darnold.
None of those three top picks are with their original teams. Mayfield is running an explosive offense for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Darnold has seemingly finally found his stride while leading the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings.
