1 hour, 22 minutes ago





LONDON (AP)—With the lockout over, the NFL will return to London for a fifth straight year.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play the Chicago Bears at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 23 in the fifth regular-season game in the British capital.

The game was in question because of the lockout. The two sides announced a 10-year labor deal Monday to end the dispute.

The Bucs will be in London for the second time in three years, having lost to the New England Patriots at Wembley in 2009. The Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys in a 1986 preseason game at the old Wembley

Good news for our cousins across the pond. The Bears vs Bucs game in London is still being played.

Glad for the game but don't want to hear the jet lag bullshit for 2 months after they get back. Jet lag : 2 days ( 3 at most ).

Well, they have plenty of time off afterwards, a full bye, and then not playing until MNF the following week. But the next game is against the Eagles AT Philly, so could be a tough one in any case. But even if we lose, we get to beat up the Lions at home the week after...so it should be fine.

Don't underestimate the 2011 Lions, Jimmors. They look more powerful than ever.
