2024 NFL London Series: What do the numbers tell us?

2024 NFL London Series: What do the numbers tell us?DAZN
Ahead of this year's annual foray to the capital of the United Kingdom, dig into the facts and figures that tell the story of this international event.

The 2024 NFL London Series takes place this October, as three fixtures take place in the capital of the United Kingdom, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium.

The Minnesota Vikings will seek to preserve their unbeaten record, both this term and across the Atlantic, when they face the New York Jets at the former ground.

Then, it is the turn of the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin their regular residency in the city, first against the Chicago Bears and then the New England Patriots.

DAZN breaks down some of the numbers behind this terrific celebration of gridiron action - and just what they may mean for this year's fixtures.

NFL London Series - By the Numbers

86,215: The record attendance set for an NFL London series match, when the Denver Broncos seized a 21-17 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.

2007: The year the first NFL International Series game was held in London, with the New York Giants securing a 13-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins, also at Wembley Stadium.

.545: The win percentage for the Jacksonville Jaguars during their residency in London, having gone 6-5-0 across 11 games in the United Kingdom.

45: The highest point haul in a single game, achieved by the New England Patriots (45-7 vs. St Louis Rams) in 2012 and Kansas City Chiefs (45-10 vs. Detroit Lions) in 2015.

8: The figure of matchups held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since it opened in 2019, with the Oakland Raiders claiming a 24-21 win against the Chicago Bears.

3: The number of games the Minnesota Vikings have contested in London, with a 3-0-0 record after wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints.

.200: The win percentage for the Miami Dolphins in London, having made five visits and earned just the one win, a 38-14 win over the Oakland Raiders in 2014.

0: Only two teams have blanked in a NFL London Series game - the Arizona Cardinals (0-33 vs. Los Angeles Rams) and Miami Dolphins (0-20 vs. New Orleans Saints) in 2017.

What does it mean?

Fans of the Minnesota Vikings would have been relishing a return to London even before they started the season in red-hot fashion.

Now, with a 4-0 record through the first month, they will be the firm favourites to deliver victory when they meet with the New York Jets in Tottenham.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will bid meanwhile to improve on their record with two more NFL London Series matchups, and could be 8-5-0 through 13 games with a pair of wins.

The Chicago Bears will be bidding for a happier return to Tottenham though, having been the first team to play there - and indeed, lose there, against the Oakland Raiders.

The New England Patriots meanwhile may not be the force that they once were, but they will fondly remember their 45-point haul in 2012 when they return to Wembley too.
