Which Dolphins game is in London? Our home game or theirs? Theirs Does anyone know when the date for that game becomes definite? From the Jets website: The NFL has asked the Jets to play in a regular-season game in London in Week 4 of the 2015 season. It was announced this morning that the Jets will be the visiting team playing against the home team Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 4.
We will be the 18th different NFL franchise to participate in the London "International Series" and the game will be the 12th regular-season game played in the English capital city since the series began playing games annually "across the pond" in 2007.
“We are honored to represent New York, New Jersey and the National Football League in London, and for the opportunity to showcase this organization on a global stage,” said Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson. “Playing in Wembley Stadium gives us the chance to welcome even more fans, all over the UK, to Jets Nation.”
The Dolphins, who were the home team in that first game in '07 against the Giants, then the visitng team that defeated the Raiders this season, will become the first team to play three regular-season games in this series.
The Jets-Dolphins game will also be the first divisional matchup in the series.
Two other 2015 NFL games for London were announced today. The Buffalo Bills will play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 25 and the Detroit Lions will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1.

hmm....possible Road Trip list looks like Dallas, Oakland and London. Not ideal but certainly interesting. Might be a good time to check out Jerry's World. Agree on Dallas -- I really want to see Jerry's world, so that one is definitely on my list along with Indy. It is an easy drive from Chicago, plenty of great bars and hotels within walking distance of the stadium and I have always had a blast with the Indy fans. Tough to justify the expense of London for a football game. True but it would be much more than just a football game, would obviously need to make a vacation of sorts out of it. This would be the closest thing ever to a home game for Raoul.

Unfortunately I would not be able to turn it into a vacation in early October -- so London is not in the cards for me, unless I can find justification to be in London on business in early October.

seems like a lot of traveling for the Jets, London, California, and two trips to Texas.

Never done a road trip before (really wanted to do GB this year but the date didn't work) but I think Dallas is a must.

Seems like we've been playing the Raiders every single year since at least Rex became the coach, and now it's the Titans, with a third game in 4 years (or so).
