National Football League in London
Memes. They convey what everyone is thinking, but in a more visual way, written by someone more clever than you.
The art of the meme is something that needs to be taught at uni…heck maybe it already is.
We have compiled some of the best memes from week 9 in the NFL for you to enjoy.
Like creating your own memes?
Send them to us, and if they’re funny-maybe we will use them.
We are always on the look-out for good writers, so please get in touch if you have some love to share.
Sometimes you just need a little Tegridy right Baker?
Maybe if Baker showed a bit more Tegridy, and spent less time shaving-he would be in a better position than he is.
Tegridy is about doing the simple things right.
Doing the work, putting in the effort, getting it done, and smoking a big old bowl of Buddha.
Maybe if Baker played blazed every game, he might not be so frazzled.
And if the NFL doesn’t work out for Baker, he can look at some other options-like Mike Tyson did.
Go out to Nevada, set up a big old cannabis farm, and get into ‘weed-tourism.’
He already looks like Randy Marsh-no time for half measures.
When will the NFL finally allow players to have THc in their systems?
Well, that’s going to take some Tegridy too.
Week 10 already?!?!
How is this season blowing by so quickly?
Week 9 brought some joy, some pain and many more questions.
Obviously it was nice to see the Patriots lose their FIRST game of the season, and add to that a Packers humiliating loss to the lowly Chargers, and things were looking pretty good.
Which of these teams will bounce back in Week 10?
Sky Sports has announced their schedule for Week 10, so that you can catch some of the best games in full HD.
While most people aren’t up for the Thursday and Monday night games, the 6pm and 9pm games should be some pretty big contests.
(These games are blacked out for Gamepass users).
The 6pm game is the Cardinals vs Bucs, which must have been chosen since their fans will probably never see them on TV. Both teams stink bad, and this game will probably stink even worse.
Maybe Kyler can get a win here against Shame-is and his inept offence?
This game screams ‘what’s on Gamepass?’
The 9pm game should be better as the Panthers take on the Packers at home. After watching the Chargers lay a beat down on the Packers D, maybe there is a bit of a roadmap here for future beatings?
The Packers should be ready to toss down after that tough game last week.
Still up at 1am? Then you can watch the Vikings and the Cowboys throw down until the wee hours.
Last week’s beating of the Patriots was a treat, so maybe them Boyz will figure out what it’s like to play teams with a good D.
Should be the best game of the bunch.
Join us Sunday at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End to watch all the games and Redzone!
Need some NFL swag? Maybe a Minshew moustache shirt?
Boom! We got you covered.
Head to the Fanatics Store and shop, shop, shop til you drop!

Easy peasy.
Why not collect the ‘broken quarterbacks’ jerseys?
Throw on a Mahomes, try on a little Foles, or just buy a Trubisky so that people can feel sorry for you wherever you go.
Or why not buy an Antonio Brown jersey from every team? That should work!
It’s halfway through the season, so it’s time to get ready for having a B team!
See you Sunday!
This might be the last article I ever get to write for NFL in London because – WARNING – I’m going to say some nice things about Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. I assume many of you will know that Wade, the boss of this here domain, is a huge Chicago Bears fan. Therefore I am walking on eggshells at best by setting out my stall here and saying I’m going to be positive about the Cheeseheads from Wisconsin… but stick with me.
Sunday Night’s win over the Chiefs wasn’t perfect from the Packers’ perspective, but perhaps that’s what made it all the more impressive. The Chiefs often maligned defense was able to pressure and worry Rodgers, and the usually assured scrambler was hit and sacked at a significantly higher rate than the norm, suggesting the Packers’ O-Line protection needs a little bit of work done to it. But Rodgers was able to use his backfield weapons to great effect. Aaron Jones (I love you) & Jamaal Williams (I don’t love you, STOP taking fantasy points away from my Aaron) both found the endzone twice, and ensured that the team bereft of it’s one truly elite receiver – Davante Adams – still managed to score 31 points in one of the NFL’s most intimidating “home field advantage” stadiums. Jones, especially, is a true livewire, as exhibited on his two huge plays in Arrowhead. The pace he showed to break away from the Chiefs’ secondary will terrify most defenses around the league, and when you have Aaron Rodgers making INSANE plays – like the “heave and hope,” over the shoulder pass to Williams in the very back corner of the endzone – you always have more than a chance.
Rodgers has only one black mark on his surefire Hall of Fame resume. He’s only got one title. ONE. Playing for Titletown. The 2010 run to Super Bowl XLV against the Steelers was fairly magical, with the Packers winning 3 road games against the Eagles, the Falcons and the (sorry Wade) aforementioned Bears, en route to the Lombardi Trophy. But that’s been it. Not just one title. One Super Bowl APPEARANCE for Rodgers. Yep. It’s amazing. Admittedly, he’s not always had the best pieces around him, especially on the defensive side of the ball, but the closest he’s come to glory since 2010 is getting blown out in the NFC Championship game in 2016 by Atlanta. Yes, he’s a two-time League MVP, but only having one Super Bowl win, when you’re considered by SOME to be the greatest Quarterback of all time… It doesn’t quite feel right.
On the other hand, there’s another guy out there who is widely considered the GOAT, who seems to be blazing his annual trail straight back to the Super Bowl in his search for his SEVENTH Championship and the destruction of the planet as we know it. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr & The New England Patriots. Brady’s run is almost the antithesis of Rodgers’. Brady has usually been supported by a solid team, whilst Rodgers has often had to make more than the sum of the parts around him. Brady can also be glad for the elite coaching staff he’s always had alongside him, and therefore the ability to be good enough in the regular season to almost guarantee home field advantage for his yearly hunt for gold. Since 2008, Brady has played in just THREE true road playoff games. Interestingly, he has a 1-2 record in those games, with the only win being that travesty against the Chiefs last year. And before I hear ONE COMPLAINT from Patriots’ fans, that pre-snap penalty saved you and was an absolute travesty. Ugh. So he’s actually beatable if you can drag him away from Foxborough. He’s just too good to let that happen often. Ugh again. Anyway, basically Brady hasn’t even had to be that good this year so far because the Patriots defense is absolutely mauling all teams unlucky enough to be put in front of them. Seriously, “lambs to the slaughter” comes to mind every time I watch a team try to score against them. But the point is, Brady is rolling towards another AFC Championship game, without really breaking much of a sweat.
But IF the Patriots make it to the big one again this year… could it be Rodgers waiting for him? The NFC is seemingly stacked with very viable teams, but Green Bay – who for once have a defense to support Rodgers – could be the one. We’ve only ever seen Rodgers vs Brady twice (1 win each for the record, don’t all great things come in threes?!), but wouldn’t it be poetic to see these two face off for the biggest prize in North America? There would be a LOT of conflicted people who wouldn’t know who to cheer for… but it might just end up being that way. What a spectacle it would be. Maybe Brady vs Rodgers on the biggest stage in American sports is what we truly deserve… Or worse… maybe it’s what we all secretly want.
