The 2023 NFL schedule has officially been released, much to the delight of fans across the league.

Several teams are slated to take part in international games, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will participate in back-to-back games across the pond.

As they prepare for the upcoming season, head coach Doug Pederson news/doug-pederson-relishing-jaguars-opportunity-two-london-games-bills-falcons?campaign=Twitter_atn”>called their international games “a great opportunity for our organization,” per NFL.com

The Jaguars will face the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills during this two-game stint overseas.

Regarding their contest with the Bills, Pederson said: “I’d rather play Buffalo in London than maybe in Buffalo at the end of the season.”

Buffalo is a notoriously difficult place to play, given their passionate fanbase.

As Pederson highlights, it might be a bit easier for the Jaguars to play them in London, a more 50/50 split in fan attendance.

The Jaguars are coming off a 9-8 season in 2022, which won them the AFC South.

Not only did they make the playoffs last year, but Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars were able to win a playoff game as well.

They head into 2023 with their heads high, ready to make another splash, this time, with a deeper playoff push in mind as well.

The good news is that the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and Houston Texans could all have new starting quarterbacks to begin the year.

With any luck, Lawrence and his teammates will be able to capitalize on the youth within the division.

Can the Jaguars continue the success they found last year, in Lawrence’s third season at the helm?
