NFL UK Managing Dir Alistair Kirkwood Says To Expect Another Three Games In London In '15

Wembley "will host another three NFL games next year as the sport continues to expand its push" into the U.K. market, according to the BBC. The stadium hosted the Detroit Lions' 22-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. NFL UK Managing Dir Alistair Kirkwood said "to expect three more in 2015." Kirkwood: "We are going to do three games next year, and looking at staging two games back to back in successive weeks to test this support base." Normally NFL matches played in London kick off at 6pm, but Sunday's 1:30pm local time start meant "it was the earliest ever start for a game in NFL history." The early start "meant the match clashed with church services" (BBC, 10/26).
