What time is the Bears London game Sunday? What to know as hurricane delays Jaguars’ flight

While Chicago Bears players landed in London Tuesday ahead of their Sunday game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their opponents weren’t as lucky to get out early.

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to arrive to London later than expected Friday because of Hurricane Milton, which made landfall in Siesta Key Wednesday, the team confirmed ahead of the game.

A team spokesperson said on Thursday that the team’s departure time has been “slightly” delayed.

For their London games, the Jaguars regularly depart on Thursday night and arrive Friday morning.

The NFL said in a statement that, “No changes are expected to Sunday’s schedule.”

The Jaguars have played in London 11 times. For the Bears’, Sunday’s game marks the fourth time Chicago plays across the pond. They faced the Cowboys in a preseason game there in 1986, and played regular-season games against the Buccaneers in 2011 and Raiders in 2019.

Bears vs. Jaguars: Battle of the QBs

Sunday’s Bears London game will feature a battle of two No. 1 picks in the NFL draft. Caleb Williams’ NFL career is just getting started in Chicago, while Trevor Lawrence has hit a major bump in the road in Jacksonville with the Jags winning their first game on Sunday after starting 0-4.

Williams and the Bears are on the rise after the rookie played his best game of the season in Week 5. Chicago is 3-2 after a decisive 36-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Lawrence and the Jaguars are finally in the win column after narrowly defeating the Indianapolis Colts 37-34 on a late field goal. While the win will temporarily silence the critics, they’ll be in the spotlight in standalone games the next two weeks.
