Where would the NFL International Series be without the Jacksonville Jaguars? For the past two seasons now, the Jaguars have been right at home playing at Wembley Stadium in London as a result of an agreement the team made in 2013. Since then, the Jaguars have played one “home” game in London each year, a tradition that continues this year with a match against the Buffalo Bills.
The Jaguars vs. Bills game—scheduled for Week 7 of the 2015 season—is sandwiched between two other London games: the Miami Dolphins vs. the New York Jets in Week 4 and the Detroit Lions vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. And we at Sports Travel and Tours are ready to connect you to the competition.
Each match pins a team that is highly familiar with playing in London against a team of newcomers, allowing the NFL to include new teams in the International Series while maintaining some semblance of continuity.
In the case of the Jaguars-Bills game, the Jaguars are undoubtedly seasoned in comparison to the Bills, who have never played in London before. The fresh combination will keep fans on their toes, especially when both teams feature such promising players.

According to an article on the NFL’s blog, the Bills have “the AFC’s most ferocious” defense and the “power to crush opposing quarterbacks.” Meanwhile, all eyes are on Jaguar’s quarterback Blake Bortles, who has improved significantly since last season.
