![]() ![]() When they take the field on Sunday, every NFL team will have played at least one game in England. Since 2007, the NFL has sent 31 of its 32 teams overseas, but the Packers had somehow avoided playing in London until this year. The other thing that fans in London will be seeing for the first time is a game involving Aaron Rodgers up close. Back in 2007, the Giants played the very first game in London - they beat the Dolphins - and then they went on to shock the undefeated Patriots with a 17-14 win in Super Bowl XLII. In the 31 games that have been played since 2007, there have been nine teams that were winless when they played in London, but only one team that went into its international game undefeated (the Ravens in 2017).Īlso, there's only been one team that went from playing in London to playing in the Super Bowl, and in a twist, it's one of the teams that will be playing on Sunday: The Giants. Before this year, we almost saw the streak end on multiple occasions with the most recent one coming in 2019 when the 5-3 Texans played the 4-4 Jaguars.Īs you can tell by the streak, fans in London haven't gotten to see very many good teams over the years. Fans in London have come close to seeing the streak broken, but it's never happened. The Giants (3-1) game against the Packers (3-1) will end an unwanted streak of bad matchups that's lasted a total of 31 games over the past 15 years. The NFL has been playing games in London since 2007 and over that time, there hasn't been a SINGLE GAME that pitted two teams that BOTH had a winning record. ![]() The first thing fans in London will be witnessing is a game between two teams that both have a winning record, which will mark the first time that's ever happened for a game played in England. When the Packers and Giants kick off from London on Sunday, fans in England will be witnessing two things they've never seen before. ![]()
