For the Jacksonville Jaguars, the past two weeks served as quite the long stay across the pond. Playing back-to-back contests at their home away from home in London, the Jaguars were at first throttled by the Chicago Bears, 35-16, at Tottenham Stadium, dropping them to 1-5 and prompting observers to contemplate if the loss would get coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke -- as the Brits say -- sacked. But the next week, it was the Jags doing the throttling as a 32-16 beatdown of the New England Patriots allowed them to return to U.S. soil on a high note.
The Jaguars are now back in Jacksonville and are set to host the Green Bay Packers, who enter at 5-2 and need to stack victories in order to keep pace in their division. With the 5-1 Detroit Lions and now 5-2 Minnesota Vikings, it is imperative for Green Bay to remain competitive in the tough NFC North. Even the "last-place" Chicago Bears are only a game back at 4-2.
Just like the Jags, the Packers are surely glad that this game is being played in the United States. After opening their season with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles as the road team in Brazil, Green Bay has since gone 2-0 on the road in America this year, having previously won against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5.
