Set your alarm clocks Saturday night. The NFL wanted to give the Brits a real Sunday football experience, so the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons will be kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET.
That's not too bad for the fanbases located in Michigan and Georgia. However, for those interested parties who live farther west (like this writer), the 6:30 a.m. start time is brutal.
But that ultimately doesn't matter. The real concern is how will the thousands of miles and multiple time-zone difference affect the participants?
Neither team has much margin for error. Detroit shares the NFC North lead with the streaking Green Bay Packers, and Atlanta's playoff hopes are on life support thanks to a 2-5 start.
And we haven't broached the injury issues plaguing both franchises.
So which team will muster the necessary focus to prevail across the pond? Click through to find out.
