The Jacksonville Jaguars are back in London for the ninth time as they look to get their 2022 season back on track against Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos
The NFL will play in London for the third and final time in 2022 as the Denver Broncos take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
The game pits two teams sitting at 2-5 against one another and each side will be desperate to pick up a win to ignite their respective season after four successive defeats.
The Broncos’ struggles have been more publicised given their offseason moves and preseason hype only to sit bottom of the AFC West. Denver have finished last in the division for two years running – but this is not the ride Broncos envisioned when they traded two first round picks, two seconds, a fifth and three players to acquire Wilson before signing him to a five-year contract extension worth $245 million.
Wilson sat out of the Broncos’ 16-9 loss to the New York Jets last Sunday due to a strained hamstring, but the veteran is back and has been confirmed as the starter by rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett. The 33-year-old was listed as a full participant as Denver practiced at Harrow School outside London on Friday.
