Jets-Vikings in first U.K. game; Jags back-to-back overseas - ESPN

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Some of the NFL's newest potential stars — and one of its oldest — will be showcased in the league's five international games in 2024.

Six of the top 11 picks in the most recent draft and veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers highlight a schedule that begins Week 1 in Sao Paulo and concludes Week 10 in Munich.

Three games will be played in London this season, beginning with Rodgers and the New York Jets playing the Minnesota Vikings and rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy (No. 11 pick) on Oct. 6 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Rodgers went 17-11-1 against the Vikings when he was with the Green Bay Packers. He previously played in London during his final season with the Packers — a 27-22 loss to the New York Giants on Oct. 9, 2022. Rodgers fractured his right thumb on the final play of the game, a Hail Mary, and it probably affected him for the remainder of the year — the worst statistical season of his career.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play back-to-back games in London for the second season in a row, first as the designated road team against first overall pick Caleb Williams, No. 9 pick Rome Odunze and the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 13. The Jaguars will then be the host when they play the New England Patriots and No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 20.

The international schedule concludes with the Giants and sixth overall pick Malik Nabers against the Carolina Panthers and 2023 No. 1 pick Bryce Young on Nov. 10 at Allianz Arena in Munich.

The games in London and Germany will all begin at 9:30 a.m. ET and be broadcast on the NFL Network.

This will be the 12th and 13th international games for the Jaguars, who have played in more international games than any other
