Sunday Showdown: Rams vs. Jaguars in London

The Stage is Set

In London, the Rams and Jaguars are set to clash at Wembley Stadium. This marks the third week in a row that the NFL has a game in the UK.

The Jaguars are no strangers to London, having played more games here than any other NFL team. The Rams, meanwhile, are adjusting to life without their star receiver, Puka Nacua, who is out with an ankle injury.

Rams' Impressive Season

The Rams have been impressive this season, ranking in the top 10 in both yards gained and yards allowed.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford has been on fire, leading all throwers with nearly 1,700 yards and a career-high passer rating of 106.2.
Without Nacua, the offense will rely more on Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee.

Jaguars' Surprise Growth

The Jaguars, at 4-2, have shown signs of growth under rookie head coach Liam Coen.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been solid.
The defense has been aggressive, leading the NFL in takeaways.

They will need to step up against a tough Rams defense that has the third-best red zone percentage in the league.

Broadcast Details

The game will be broadcast on NFL Network for U.S. audiences, with a local over-the-air simulcast in the teams' respective regions.

Time zone shift means a 6:30 a.m. start for Southern California.
Rich Eisen will be on play-by-play, with Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner providing color commentary.

NFL's London Legacy

The NFL has been playing games in London since 2007, but the city's connection to the sport goes back even further.

The London Monarchs were part of NFL Europe in the 1990s.
The first NFL game in London was won by the New York Giants in 2007.
Since then, the league has been a regular visitor to the UK, with games also being played at Twickenham and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A Tough Battle Ahead

The Rams and Jaguars are no strangers to each other, with the Rams holding a slight edge in the head-to-head series.

This game is different: it's in London, it's early in the morning, and it's without Nacua.
It's a game that could go either way, but one thing is for sure: it's going to be a tough, physical battle.
