INDIANAPOLIS – Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts will be heading across the Atlantic Ocean next season to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The NFL announced Wednesday that the Colts and Jaguars will play at Wembley Stadium in London on Oct. 2, 2016. This will be the first time the Colts have played a regular season game outside of the United States. They have played preseason games in Mexico City, Tokyo and Toronto in the past.
Several players wasted little time expressing their excitement about playing overseas on Twitter.
