Just tuned in, are there not announcers for this game?  I'm just getting field audio.

Strange. I have the audio

Don’t worry the announcing is strange too.  I still can’t get use to Al Michaels and Herbstreit together.

I was wondering about that.  As mentioned above I just have field audio, so I couldn't figure out why they stopped the play.  

Did the announcers say anything about it?  Didn't seem like replay happened.

Ed Oliver taking the Ndomukong Suh mantle seriously.  Two personal fouls in one drive...

What a shitbag.

What was the reasoning for the Jaguars getting 2 consecutive UK games? They stayed all week while Buffalo didn’t get to fly in until Friday. Seems weird

Jags owner also owns a team over there and has supported the Jags involvement in scheduling across the pond.

From The Sporting News:

Fans might be doing a double take, seeing the Jaguars on the schedule to play in London again this week. But it's no mistake. Trevor Lawrence and Co. are set to play in London for the second week in a row. 

The Jaguars were successful in their first stop across the pond, defeating the Falcons 23-7 at Wembley Stadium in Week 4. This Sunday, the team makes a trek across town to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Jaguars face off against the Bills. 

So what's with the back-to-back London games for the Jaguars? The Sporting News explains why Jacksonville is playing back-to-back weeks in the UK. 

Why are the Jaguars playing in London twice?

No NFL team has played over in London as often as the Jaguars have. This second matchup in 2023 marks the 11th time that Jacksonville will participate in a game in the UK. 

Jacksonville's owner, Shad Khan, has ties to the country. He is the owner of London-based Fulham F.C., a soccer club in the Premier League, England's top level of professional soccer. 

The Jaguars currently are in the midst of a three-year contract to play each year in London. The agreement's final year will be 2024, with one more game guaranteed to be hosted by the Jaguars at Wembley, however, it is expected that a new deal will be made for after next campaign. 

Khan has had a number of agreements with the English Football Association, dating back to 2012 when the NFL initially explored the idea of international games. Since then, the Jaguars have seen their English fan base grow, making them an ideal candidate to play twice in a single season. 

"To see the Jacksonville Jaguars extend their stay in the UK and play two regular season games here this year is indicative of the Jags' commitment to continuing to grow their fanbase here long-term," NFL UK general manager Henry Hodgson said this offseason.

Move them then. And put a team in Mexico. That’s my thought
