Jaguars Will Play Twice In London, 2 Germany Games Set
When the Jacksonville Jaguars spend back-to-back weeks in London this year, they will become the first NFL team to play two overseas games in the same season.
On October 1, the Jaguars will “host” the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium, and on October 8, they will “visit” the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Jaguars were scheduled to play two designated home games in London in 2020. However, those plans were canceled because of the pandemic.
The NFL also revealed the dates and opponents for three other foreign games, including the inaugural Black Friday battle.
On October 15, the Tennessee Titans will “host” the Baltimore Ravens at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On November 5, NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will “host” the Miami Dolphins at Eintracht Frankfurt Stadium in Germany. On November 12, the New England Patriots will “host” the Indianapolis Colts in Frankfurt.
On November 24, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets will face the Miami Dolphins. The reigning NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles will face the New York Giants in a playoff rematch on Christmas Day. On New Year’s Eve, the Chiefs will meet the Cincinnati Bengals in another playoff rematch.
Thursday night will see the unveiling of the whole NFL schedule.
On October 1, the Jaguars will “host” the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium.
“Hosting the Falcons at Wembley Stadium will be awesome, only to be followed by playing on the road against the Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,” Lawrence said. “I’m excited for the experience and know Duval will be there for me at both games.”
The Jaguars have played nine games in London, including a 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos in front of an NFL-record 86,215 fans at Wembley Stadium in October. The Jaguars became the first club to win a playoff game despite having the poorest record the previous season under first-year coach Doug Pederson, who led Philadelphia to a Super Bowl triumph in 2017.
The Titans and Ravens will make their second trip to London.
“It’s exciting to witness and play a role in the NFL’s rise in popularity across the globe,” Ravens president Sashi Brown said. “This is an incredible opportunity to play in front of, and connect with, Ravens fans in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe.”
Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Germany.
“We are excited to play the Dolphins in Frankfurt this autumn,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt stated. “The Chiefs have a long history of helping to grow the game of football around the world, and we have been eagerly anticipating our chance to play in Germany.”
The Patriots have a 3-0 record in foreign games, while the Chiefs have a 2-0 record.
“Germany has some of the world’s most passionate sports fans and has always been an international leader in enthusiasm for American football and the NFL,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said. “I’m ecstatic to play a home game in this new market and to build on our team’s long history and engagement with German fans.” Our goal is to interact with fans locally, and I’m looking forward to growing that fan base and establishing new partnerships and chances for collaboration in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.”
Because of repairs at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca, no international game will be in Mexico in 2023.
On October 1, the Jaguars will “host” the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium.
The five international games in 2022 set attendance and viewership records. Each game was completely sold out, with 356,116 people in attendance.
“We are excited to bring three games to London once again, a city with a huge love for the sport and a passionate fan base across the UK,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president of club business, major events, and international. “We are also delighted to confirm that the two games in Germany will be held in Frankfurt, a city rich in NFL history.” We are excited to stage both games at Eintracht Frankfurt’s Stadium and to build on the fantastic atmosphere created by last season’s game in Munich.”
With the NFL’s expansion to 17 regular-season games in 2021, teams will get a ninth home game in alternate seasons. Each year, up to four clubs from the league eligible for that ninth regular-season home game are designated to play a neutral-site international game.
As part of their multi-year commitment to playing in the United Kingdom, the Jaguars will host a game at Wembley Stadium.
“The addition of the road contest against Buffalo allows us to maximise the logistical efficiency of our travels to and from the United Kingdom, while maintaining a strong slate of games at our true home at TIAA Bank Field,” Jaguars President Mark Lamping said in a statement.

Jason Kelce Smashes Football Fan’s Phone
Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce destroyed a Penn State football fan’s phone after the alleged heckler called his brother, Travis Kelce, a fag.
In now-viral footage published on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great was seen accompanied by football fans outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., for the Penn State-Ohio State game.
As the individual capturing the tape lifted a fist to Jason, 36, and called his name for a fist bump, another man nearby hurled the homophobic slur at the retired Philadelphia Eagles star.
Hey, Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a queer dating Taylor Swift?” the man questioned, referring to Travis, 34, who has been seeing Swift since 2023. Jason turned around seconds later, snatched the man’s phone, and crushed it to the ground.
“Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason,” the original X user who submitted the video remarked. “Wild scene in State College.”
“Kelce how does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?”
Jason Kelce proceeded to slam this kids phone on the ground.

Additional footage on X shows Jason smashing the phone on asphalt before picking it up and walking away. The phone’s owner, wearing a Penn State hoodie at the time of the incident, was shown in many videos strolling closely behind Jason and recording him before the conflict occurred.
Another footage published on X, which appears to have been filmed after Jason shattered the man’s phone, showed the hooded Penn State supporter trudging through a mob to pick up his phone off the ground.
“Give me my phone, bro,” he seemed to say to Jason.
The NFL alum seized the gadget first, then stood in front of the man and asked, “Who’s the fag now?” Others appeared to interfere.
The incident occurred while Jason was at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13 over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

According to a Vogue interview published Wednesday, Shaun said he assembled a team of people from the couple’s inner circle and Vogue personnel to trick Dobrev into thinking she had been invited to an intimate dinner party with Anna Wintour.
Dobrev accepted the invitation, joking that Shaun made it “look so legitimate.”
He even asked Dobrev’s stylist to outfit her in Chanel for the event.
Dobrev said she recognized what was happening when she entered the venue and saw White standing beneath the flowery arch.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Hollywood actress Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” has passed away at 79. She died Tuesday of multiple sclerosis “surrounded by family and friends,” said publicist Heidi Schaeffer.
Admirers took to social media in her honor, with writer-director Paul Feig calling her “truly one of my comedy heroes. I couldn’t have loved her more” and screenwriter Cinco Paul saying: “Never the star, but always shining. She made everything she was in better.”
Throughout her career, the performer, often known as Terri, Terry, or Terry Ann, seemed destined for show business from a young age.
Her father was Eddie Garr, a well-known vaudeville comic, and her mother was Phyllis Lind, one of the original high-kicking Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Their daughter began dancing classes at six and was performing with the San Francisco and Los Angeles ballet companies by age fourteen.
She was 16 years old when she joined the road crew of “West Side Story” in Los Angeles, and she began starring in small roles in films as early as 1963.
In an interview from 1988, she described how she landed the role in “West Side Story.” After being rejected at her initial audition, she returned the following day dressed differently and was accepted.
Teri Garr, a comedian
Teri Garr then found steady work as a movie dancer, appearing in the chorus of nine Elvis Presley films, including “Viva Las Vegas,” “Roustabout,” and “Clambake.”
She has also appeared on various television shows, including “Star Trek,” “Dr. Kildare,” and “Batman,” and was a featured dancer on the rock ‘n’ roll music show “Shindig,” the rock concert performance “T.A.M.I.,” and a cast member of “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.”
Her breakthrough role was as Gene Hackman’s girlfriend in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 thriller The Conversation. This led to an interview with Mel Brooks, who offered her the Gene Wilder’s German lab assistant role in Young Frankenstein if she could speak with a German accent.
“Cher had this German woman, Renata, making wigs, so I got the accent from her,” Garr once said.
The film established her as a great comic performer, with New Yorker film writer Pauline Kael calling her “the funniest neurotic dizzy dame on screen.”
Her big smile and off-center appeal helped her land roles in “Oh, God!” with George Burns and John Denver, “Mr. Mom” (as Michael Keaton’s wife), and “Tootsie,” in which she played the girlfriend who loses Dustin Hoffman to Jessica Lange and discovers he has dressed up as a woman to revive his career.
A gift for spontaneous humor
Teri Garr, best known for comedy, has shown in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion, and The Escape Artist that she can also tackle drama.
She had a gift for spontaneous humor, frequently playing David Letterman’s foil during early guest appearances on N.B.C.’s “Late Night With David Letterman”.
Her appearances grew so frequent, and the pair’s good-natured bickering so convincing that rumors of romantic involvement circulated for a while. Years later, Letterman acknowledged those early appearances with helping the program become a success.
During those years, Garr began to experience “a little beeping or ticking” in her right leg. It started in 1983 and expanded to her right arm, but she thought she could handle it. By 1999, her symptoms had gotten so bad that she saw a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
After disclosing her diagnosis, Garr became a spokesman for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, giving hilarious remarks at events in the United States and Canada.
