This is just the second time in franchise history the Bills will head overseas to play a game in London, but the second time they will play the Jaguars. The first game took place back in 2015 at Wembley Stadium, where Jacksonville beat Buffalo, 34-31. E.J. Manuel got the start for the Bills in that game, going 24-of-42 for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
For Bills fans, it will be a chance to get a look at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, home of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. of the English Premier League. With the Bills set to have a new stadium built in Orchard Park and completed by the 2026 season, Tottenham's stadium was built and designed by the same company that is designing the new stadium along Abbott Road across from Highmark Stadium.
