Pretty sure it came about because of the lack of support by the fan base in Jacksonville. They started playing the game in London figuring it would be a bigger draw than playing that game at home. I don't think the NFL should be playing any games outside of the country but they seem dead set on it.

Yes, attendance in Jacksonville is surely the reason why. But i really don't understand the choice of London. If they wanted locations for games abroad it should have been Berlin or Munich, for example. When NFL Europa stopped, there were 5 German teams and one Dutch. "London Monarchs", the only English one, was not in this competition since a while. England has absolutely no American football "culture and blood". Over there, it's rugby, soccer ans cricket. Even if i'm french, fan base is too small, and i would not understand games in my country. However, it seems more legit for Mexico cause of big latina community in US, particularly in California and Texas. Oh otherwise...I heard about China...awful.

True. They are both outsiders for their CCG but as everything seems possible this year, there's a chance we just could have the SB 52 remake in London.
