I don't think we'll get playoff football but at least the team looks positive and I wish this was the Raiders team that came over to Wembley rather than the one we got. Can see the two wildcard spots being ridiculously close but the Raiders have a pretty good schedule to pull it off. Great bounce back win for us against the Chiefs last night after the horror show against the Eagles. Feels good to have Bell back. |

Pats 3-1 without Brady (and with basically zero contribution from Gronk) very very happy with that even with the tough loss yesterday.

It's like Tom Brady has never been away for the Patriots 271 yards in the first half
Gronk is on the field as well ![]() oh and Charlie Whitehurst is the 5th QB for the Browns this season after Kessler went off injured |

Much much tougher tests to come though. Next 4 weeks: Bengals, Steelers, Bills and Seahawks. |

Nice to have the GOAT back. 406 yards total for the game, coming out midway through the 4th quarter.

4 in a row for the Redskins is a good antidote to watching Villa! Just gutted that my health prevents me from finally getting to watch them at Wembley in a couple of weeks. #HTTR

Roethlisberger out of the Steelers game against the Pats next Sunday, massive break for the Pats. Steelers have a bye the week after and then the Ravens in 3 weeks and it's unclear is Ben will be back for that game.

Our season hangs on him getting fit, we'll see how serious it is. We've got arguably the best RB and best WR in the league but with Landry Jones at QB I go into no game with any real confidence. I'd be shocked if we aren't 4-3 after the Pats game which is why it's crucial to have Ben back for the Ravens game.
Just can't seem to catch a break. The story of the Steelers in recent seasons, injury after injury to one of our most important players that ends up costing us. |

Cincinnati were a disgrace in the final quarter against New England yesterday. They decided they couldn't win, so they would resort to yobery instead. Somebody should have been disqualified.

How come the coverage of the Twickenham game says "Thursday Night Special?"

They explained it's due to kick off time, it doesn't fall under the normal Sunday football due to kick off time...and branding or something!

Wow , what an ending to the Cardinals/Seahawks game
Both missed 'chip-shot' field goals to win it in OT 6-6 and a rare tie |

It's difficult to know whether it's the travelling/disruption that lead to the bad games or if it's the fact that is generally poor teams that come over (at least the 'home' teams). You don't see the Patriots or the Steelers or the Seahawks giving up a home game, it's the Rams (who will presumably stop when they are in their new LA stadium) and the Jags giving up games.

I believe teams have to be the home team in London games if they wish to host a superbowl. Probably why Miami and Atlanta have recently hosted.

I simply do not understand why, if they are trying to build popularity for the sport in the UK, the NFL sends you guys such horrible games.

They are two teams who have a bit of a following , especially Bills in the 90s when nfl was on channel 4. And the Giants have potentially the biggest superstar outside of the sport... They can't predict that it will be a terrible game.
I wish I could wear an american football shirt again as I did in my youth but it wouldnt look right on a chubby middle aged man

The BBC TV coverage of this is abysmal.
Not enough game footage of individual games, blink and you'll miss one. As for the all the studio chat and messing around in field, I can well do without it. |
