Cheerio, football fans.

The Jets and Falcons jump the pond this Sunday, as both teams are set to meet in London for a Week 5 showdown in London, the first of two international games in the United Kingdom this year.

While it’s not a sexy matchup between 1-3 teams, two of the game’s bright, young stars will be taking the field: Jets QB Zach Wilson is coming off his best performance of his young career, helping guide New York to an overtime win vs. the Titans in Week 4.

On the opposite sideline, tight end Kyle Pitts is still searching for his first career touchdown, and has an opportunity to grab one against the Jets defense this weekend.

One team will be heading into their Week 5 Bye week with two wins on their ledger: The other will head into the Bye week as tourists with some t-shirts.
