The NFL’s return to
London after a two-year hiatus because of Covid-19 looks as well-timed as a Tom Brady flea flicker. With no

New York Jets take on the Atlanta Falcons.
Next weekend, another sell-out crowd will revel in the pompom-waving, XXL-jersey-over-hoodie-wearing, lite beer-slurping experience all over again when the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars come to town.
