The first game is week five on October sixth with the Oakland Raiders and the Chicago Bears squaring off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This is the first time that Khalil Mack will get a chance to go against his former team and try to get some revenge on Jon Gruden. It will also be a chance for the fans in England to see Antonio Brown in a Raiders jersey.
In week six it will be the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that face off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and there should be a good feel at this point if there is a chance for Jameis Winston to be the Buccaneers quarterback of the future.
