Foggy Goals In London


What is the goal of the NFL for playing games in London? It's a great way to grow the game on an international basis, but are they really serious about putting a franchise there? They will play two games there again this year.

Today, the Steelers and Vikings played. I'm sure the league thought it was a good idea to send two of their iconic franchises to London, but who would have thought they would both be 0-3. The Vikings won 34-27, the stadium was full and the ratings were good as well.

Travel time is the biggest hindrance to locating a franchise there. The Jacksonville Jaguars would probably jump at the chance to move if it was closer.

The league will continue to schedule games there, but with an unclear vision of what they really want to do.
