In what's become a yearly ritual, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be playing in London in 2024. This time, though, they'll be participating in not one but two games. The first one will take place in Week 6, and they'll face off against the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

After beating the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, the Jags will be looking to start a winning streak when they face Chicago. Working in their favor is that their offense is picking up steam. Having reached the 20-point mark the game prior, Jacksonville scored 37 points on Indy.

One reason for their recent success on offense is Trevor Lawrence. After a rough start to the season, he's reminded everyone he can play at a high level, completing 68.6 percent of his throws for 540 yards with four touchdowns and one interception the past two years.

Similarly, Tank Bigsby has made the most out of his chances while fellow running back Travis Etienne nurses a shoulder injury. This season, the sophomore has toted the rock 34 times for 273 yards while averaging a jaw-dropping eight yards per carry.

For his part, rookie Brian Thomas Jr. is already playing like a vested veteran, hauling 22 receptions for 397 yards with three touchdowns. Currently, he's on pace to become the first-ever Jaguars rookie to tally 1,000 receiving yards.

On the other hand, the defense must do their job if the Jags want to have a shot at winning their second consecutive game. Ryan Nielsen's group ranks 30th in points surrendered and 31st in total yards. That won't suffice to slow down quarterback Caleb Williams and an offense that has shown progress the past two weeks.

Heading into the game, Jacksonville is a 1.5-point underdog, so bettors expect this one to be a close one. With that in mind, here's everything you need to know.
