NFL game at Wembley.
An 85,000 crowd in attendance.
Is anyone from Haven watching the game?

I'm watching it because of the London connection.
I'm on DVR and playing catch up.
In first quarter it's 14-0 for the Falcons.

Now it's 21-0 at half-time.
It wasn't supposed to be like this!

Good to see a close game for the Wembley crowd, something that's been very rare in the eight seasons they've been playing games over here because they usually feature one team that's absolute garbage. Speaking of which, the Jacksonville Jaguars are back in town in a few weeks!

Last Wembley game of the year this weekend with the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the Dallas Cowboys.
Next year's teams were announced today. No increase in the number of games due to Wembley being used for the Rugby World Cup but for the first time it will host games on consecutive weekends.
October 4: Miami Dolphins v New York Jets
October 25: Jacksonville Jaguars v Buffalo Bills
November 1: Kansas City Chiefs v Detroit Lions
At first glance, it's disappointing there are none of the current marquee teams, as well as the fact we have 3 of this year's teams again. However, assuming the Jets are better next year and the Jaguars continue to improve, there could be three evenly matched games, which would be very welcome.

Do you consider the Cowboys a marquee team?

Based on their history, as well as this season's form, yes, though many weren't expecting them to do as well as they have this year.

The problems with the pitch arise when they cut the grass too short, which they sometimes do at Wembley. Hopefully they've let it grow since the last game, when players had problems keeping their feet and they they can cut it next week. When the grass is too short, it only takes a little bit of rain before or during a game to really knack the pitch up.
