The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Atlanta Falcons, the Jags’ second home, at Wembley Stadium in London. Jacksonville (1-2) had an embarrassing performance at home against the Houston Texans, who clearly dominated in a 37-17 loss.

How cool is that? Drake London scored in London.
London, the Falcons receiver, caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Desmond Ridder early in the third quarter to help Atlanta get back into the game.
It was a nice response from the Falcons, who were down 17-0 at halftime.
Falcons rookie Bijan Robinson got the drive going with a 38-yard run on the second play from scrimmage to start the second half. Robinson has a total length of up to 86 yards. —Safid Deen
Trevor Lawrence threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley in the first quarter and defensive back Darius Williams scored a 61-yard pick-six touchdown that gave the Jaguars a 17-0 lead over the Falcons at halftime.
Lawrence is 13 of 28 for 128 yards, and his leading receiver is Christian Kirk, who has six catches for 71 yards.
The Falcons’ quarterback, Desmond Ridder, is having problems. He threw his two interceptions on consecutive plays. Luckily, the Falcons defense sacked Lawrence to end two drives before halftime, which could have increased Jacksonville’s lead.
Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson leads Atlanta with four catches for 26 yards and seven carries for 18 yards.
Plus, the Toy Story transfer is really good. Listen. —Safid Deen
Jaguars defensive back Darius Williams jumped the route in front of Falcons receiver Drake London to intercept quarterback Desmond Ridder and return it 61 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.
One play later, Ridder was intercepted again by Jaguars safety Andre Cisco, but the Jaguars were unable to gain after being stuffed on fourth down.
The Falcons’ offensive woes continue into this game in London. They only have 53 yards, compared to the 155 yards the Jaguars already had in this game. —Safid Deen
Chaos has broken out in Andy’s room for ESPN’s alternative broadcast of the London game, but an MVP of the game has already shown up.
All of the characters from the hit animated series “Toy Story” appear in the game, but Slinky Dog has become the workhorse of the show as the pup acts as a chain gang. When either team scores a first down, Slinky Dog is seen with the back of his body serving as the line of scrimmage and his head as the first down marker.
People couldn’t help but praise Slinky Dog for becoming the early highlight of the wild show.
“Slinky Dog because the chains go insanely hard,” said one social media user. “Slinky Dog delivered an absolute masterclass as chains today. The lights are bright and he is CHOSEN,” said another. —Jordan Mendoza
Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen has already recorded two sacks against the Falcons, and it’s not even halftime yet. Allen and the Jacksonville defense allowed just one first down and 11 total yards as the Jaguars now lead 10-0 after a 56-yard field goal by Brandon McManus. – Casey Moore
Calvin Ridley saw the Falcons secondary collapse. He raised his hand and called for the ball. And Trevor Lawrence delivered.
Lawrence’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Ridley gave Jacksonville a 7-0 lead with 5:44 left in the first quarter. What was it like on the show “Toy Story Funday Football”?
It was Ridley’s first catch of the day against his former team, which traded him to the Jaguars while he was suspended for gambling last year. —Safid Deen
The first of five games in the NFL’s International Series got off to a slow start.
The Jaguars scored a first down before being forced to punt on their first possession. The Falcons, meanwhile, walked away with three wins.
However, Jacksonville is on the move on its second possession. Trevor Lawrence’s 22-yard scramble on a second-and-7 puts the Jaguars in Falcons territory. – Casey Moore

What will happen in the NFL version where an irresistible force meets an immovable object?
The Week 4 fantasy football rankings are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) rating used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
The rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com. —Steve Gardner

The NFL, through its competition committee, evaluates the league’s rules of play each offseason and collects feedback from players, coaches and executives on possible changes.
The league classifies adjustments in two ways: actual changes to the rulebook and clarification points, which essentially highlight areas of focus for NFL officials to prioritize during games. Players and coaches must therefore adapt their playing and training methods to accommodate the adjustments. For football fans, there is also a shift in understanding the strategy behind certain decisions.
Read Lorenzo Reyes’ breakdown of the changes adopted by the league here.
According to OverTheCap.com, the NFL’s top 15 players with average annual salary are all quarterbacks. As Joe Burrow proved in his new contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, teams place a high value on having a quality QB under center. Burrow’s five-year, $275 million contract extension made him the highest-paid player in the league, with an incredible average annual value of $55 million. San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league after signing a five-year contract extension worth $170 million.
Here is the full list of the highest paid players in the league.
