The NFL returns to London for three International Games this October, with the Minnesota Vikings facing the Cleveland Browns on October 5, before the Denver Broncos go head-to-head with the New York Jets on October 12. The Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars then close out the series at Wembley on October 19.
It’s the middle game that perhaps promises to be the most intriguing, with plenty of history between these two franchises abroad. Fans are already keeping a close eye on the NFL UK betting markets, but before looking ahead, it’s worth remembering how both sides have fared in previous international fixtures.
New York Jets
As the designated home team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Jets are no strangers to London. This clash will mark their fourth appearance in the International Series, and their second consecutive season making the trip.
Their most recent outing was in 2024, when veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers and co. fell 23-17 to the Minnesota Vikings. That result followed another defeat in 2021, where they lost 27-20 to the Atlanta Falcons. Their only win on British soil came way back in 2015 at Wembley, when they beat the Miami Dolphins 27-14.
For the 2025 campaign, New York enters with renewed optimism. Justin Fields has stepped in as QB1, rekindling his old chemistry with wide receiver Garrett Wilson from their college days. With young talents like Bryce Hall and Sauce Gardner, the Jets believe they have the foundation to reverse their fortunes and mount a serious push in the AFC East.
Denver Broncos
The Broncos, meanwhile, are preparing for just their third London appearance. They last played overseas in 2022, when Latavius Murray’s late touchdown sealed a 21-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley. Their only other outing was back in 2010, when they lost 24-16 to the San Francisco 49ers after conceding 21 points in the fourth quarter.
Denver has entered 2025 with belief and ambition. A surprise playoff run last season showed their potential, even if it ended in disappointment with a Wild Card defeat to the Buffalo Bills. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has quickly become the face of the franchise, while the Broncos’ defence remains one of the most feared in the league.
If anyone in the AFC West is going to break the Kansas City Chiefs’ stranglehold on the division, it may be Denver. With the Chiefs chasing a 10th consecutive title, the Broncos know these types of games matter more than ever.
