No London Game for the Jets

The NFL schedule won’t be released until April. There had been much speculation about the possibility of the Jets playing in London next season. It seemed to make sense for a few reasons:

• The Jets are scheduled to play the Jaguars in Jacksonville and the Jaguars are a good candidate to lose a home game
• Team owner Woody Johnson is the US Ambassador to the UK

That speculation ended today as the NFL announced five international games next season and the Jets are not one of them. Here are the 2019 international games:

Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers in London

Chicago Bears at Oakland Raiders in London

Cincinnati Bengals at Los Angeles Rams in London

Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars in London

NFL announces five international games for 2019. #Jets will not be playing in London, which doesn’t make much sense given that owner
