London is about to see NFL football like never before.
Yes, Sunday’s matchup between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers will be the NFL’s 32nd game played across the pond. But it’s the first game in London between two teams with winning records.
The Giants and Packers each enter the Week 5 international matchup at 3-1 records. Per ProFootballTalk, 10 London games have been between two teams with losing records, while the other 21 London games have had one team with a record of .500 or better, including Week 4’s matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints.
The Giants, after a 4-13 season, have won three of their first four games under new head coach Brian Daboll. A big part of their success has been the healthy return of running back Saquon Barkley, who has rushed for 463 yards and two touchdowns over the first four games.
The Giants have gone 2-0 in London, defeating the Miami Dolphins in 2007 and the Los Angeles Rams in 2016.
The Packers, after dropping their season opener, have won three straight, capped with Mason Crosby’s 31-yard game-winning field goal as time expired against the New England Patriots for a 27-24 win in Week 4. Aaron Rodgers, still building chemistry with a young receiving corps, will be making his London debut with the Packers being the last NFL team to play a game there.
The game will be the second of five NFL games played outside the U.S. this season and the second of three in London. Here’s everything to know about the matchup.
