One of the reasons NFL Europe didn’t survive is because football fans across the pond became increasingly discriminating as the years passed. They wanted to see the sport played at the highest level, so a second-tier version didn’t cut it.
For the past decade, the NFL has been playing regular-season games in London, with the 20th of those taking place Sunday when the Rams play Arizona at Twickenham Stadium.
Although the London games have never pitted two teams with winning records, this one comes close. The Rams are 4-2, and the Cardinals are 3-3.
