The NFL has announced the Week 3 and Week 4 London schedule for the 2017 season. These games will be played at Wembley Stadium, with the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars playing in Week 3 on September 4. The Miami Dolphins, who will serve as the home team, will “host” the New Orleans Saints in Week 4, with kickoff on Sunday, October 1.
This game will be the fourth trip to London for Miami, who has played in Wembley Stadium each time. It will also be the third time in four years Miami has made the trip to the United Kingdom. Miami lost to the New York Jets in 2015, beat the Oakland Raiders in 2014, and lost to the New York Giants in 2007. That 2007 game was the first regular season game played in London.
The league had announced the Saints at Dolphins game as a part of the league’s annual International Series previously, but only listed it as being in either Week 3 or Week 4. Now, with the game locked in place, the Dolphins’ schedule is starting to come together. The team will likely receive their one bye week in Week 5 as long as the league continues to follow their formula of providing the off-week to teams after a London trip.
