London Plans, Rio Records, Thursday Questions
The NFL’s travel calendar is giving international group trip—with a record audience, lineup changes, and a little postgame accountability. Here’s the tea before your next football watch party.
Story 1
Commanders Head to London Without Cosmi and Cross
Two missing boarding passes: Sam Cosmi, a guard who blocks for the offense, and Nick Cross, a safety who helps defend deep passes, didn’t travel Tuesday night. Both are out against the Colts in London.
Why you care: Washington will face Indianapolis without two players who help protect its offense and defend against opponents.
