Not sure how viable a proposition that would be for at least a couple of reasons.

1.  The 17th game is supposedly a "neutral site game."  If so, London isn't a neutral site for the Jaguars.  The league enables the Jaguars to use the London games as home games.

2.  If the stuff about the additional playoff team & game comes to fruition under this new CBA, having the 17th game in London would put any playoff team traveling there at a competitive disadvantage unless they were the one team to earn home field advantage and the bye the next week.  But there would be no way to know this until very late, if at all, when the schedule is released in April.
