NFL Schedule Leaks 2024
Note: Exercise caution when reading scheduling leaks and rumors. They’re usually accurate if shared by reliable sources, but nobody’s perfect. And you definitely shouldn’t book travel based on NFL schedule leaks.
Browns Won’t Play Jaguars in London
The Browns are one of Jacksonville’s home opponents next season, but you apparently can rule them out as a “visitor” for the Jaguars’ host game in London. On Tuesday, the Browns announced fan travel experiences for multiple cities in 2024, including Jacksonville. That seemingly would rule out a trip to London.
NFL Schedule Update, an X account specializing in scheduling leaks and reporting, identified the New York Jets and New York Patriots as the Jaguars’ most likely London opponents.
