The NFL’s takeover of London comes to an end on Sunday, when the Ravens and Titans play the season’s final game in England.
While the NFL will still travel to Germany for two games in November, Ravens vs. Titans marks the third and final appearance for the league in England in 2023. For the second consecutive week, Tottenham Stadium will play host.
Tottenham Stadium hosted the Week 5 game between the Jaguars and Bills, which saw Jacksonville pull off a bit of an upset against Buffalo. The Jaguars went 2-0 in London, and they are certainly hoping their AFC South rivals from Tennessee come out with a loss.
