NFWHATTHEHELL

Yesterday I was riffing with Paddy Mac re: why do we keep sending teams like the Jets to play in London, we should be hiding these teams not sending them around the world. And it turns out, the 30 games we've sent to London have been even worse than we think:

  • There has never been a London game between two teams that went on to make the playoffs. Between 2007 and 2019, 12.3 percent of NFL games were played between two playoff-bound teams. Using that number, you’d expect about three or four of the 30 London games to fall into this category. Instead: zero.
