London (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills have made it across the pond to London, England, where they will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen says he is excited to be able to showcase what American football is all about this coming Sunday. This being Allen's first time in London, he is excited to see how the fans are in England, while also hoping they will be cheering for the Bills and loud whenever the Jaguars have the ball.
With a five-hour time difference between Buffalo and London, Allen knows it will come down to who plays best this Sunday.
"We have a lot of leadership on this team that have been through certain types of situations," said Allen while speaking with the media in London on Friday. "Come Sunday, it's whoever is going to execute the best. We've been listening to our sports science staff and trusting what they're saying, and make sure our body clocks are aliened to the time zone here."
With kickoff at 9:30 a.m. ET in Western New York, Allen admits he's been trying to adjust to the change, which includes waking up at 3 a.m. ET.
Sunday marks the second time Allen will square off with former 2021 first overall pick Trevor Lawrence. Their last matchup came in Lawrence's rookie season in an abysmal 9-6 final that saw Jacksonville emerge victorious.
That game is, perhaps, most remembered by Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen getting the most of Buffalo's Josh Allen, finishing with a sack, an interception, and a fumble recovery.
The Bills' Allen knows they have to take care of the football and be smart when taking chances against this Jaguars defense.
"Their Josh Allen is playing really well coming off a three-sack performance," Allen said. "They got a really good [defensive] line, and their linebackers and [defensive backs] are really solid behind them. So just making sure we're going to go out there and have a good game plan, and try to execute it to the best of our abilities."
