What the NFL needs to do imo is bring some marquee matchups to Wembley. 49ers vs. Giants, Packers vs. Bears, Cowboýs-49ers, Jets-Patriots, Ravens-Steelers, Giants-Cowboys and so on. Jags-49ers looks like another blow-out.
Having said that, I think the Saints-Chargers and niners-Broncos were pretty good games.

Do they not do that because they do not want to pull 2 hugely popular teams out of the country at the same time ie. 49ers vs Giants, Ravens vs Steelers?

I don't think either of this marquee matchups willl happen? Neither Ravens nor Steelers would ever accept "home field" in London in that division rivalry?
I think we'll continue to see AFC v NFC for a good time to come.....

If that were indeed the case Grid., might the Commish. get involved and give them incentive to make that trip ie. maybe each team and it's players get a bonus or maybe an added late round draft pick? Just ideas.
It sure would benefit the league to see for Ex. Ravens vs Steelers (always great games) or 49ers vs Cow-Gurls.......
