The NFL will play five games in London next season, according to a published report.
The London Daily Mail reported the news Sunday as the Detroit Lions were playing the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium in the second of three NFL games in London this season.
The NFL is expected to make an official announcement on the additional London games for next season soon, according to the report.
Last month, the Miami Dolphins beats the Oakland Raiders 38-14 in London, and next month, the Dallas Cowboys will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley.
All three of this season's games in London sold out.
Last week, George Osborne, the British treasury chief, told the Evening Standard newspaper that the British Government wants an NFL team based in London and will do whatever it can "to make this happen."
The NFL has been playing regular-season games at Wembley Stadium every year since 2007. |

| Sending Jacksonville over there to show the product is not a good way to get exposure from a foreign audience  |

| The idea of an NFL team based in London is mad.
I mean, I want it to happen because it seems cool, but it's just so mad to think of a different team having to fly all the way to England to play a league game. |

They played it at that time because a match between Chelsea & Manchester United was scheduled around the same time the NFL usually schedules noon games. It was smart on the NFL's part... |

They gotta stop sending over teams like the Raiders, Jags and Bills. 
I wasn't even being sour... I could've sworn the Bills played a game in London before.
