Showing Them Mediocrity

The NFL is trying to grow the game in Europe by playing in London. Since 2007, they have staged 14 contests. They have never had one between two teams with winning records. In fact, just eight of the first 28 teams had a winning record.

The game yesterday between the Jaguars and Colts had two teams with a combined 1-5 record. British fans will need to wait until the Oct 23rd match between the Giants and Rams if they want to see teams with a possible .500 record.

They draw well on game day and with the BBC broadcast. The NFL is not showing its best product, but few teams want to make the trip across the pond.
