\nThe Rams requested an East Coast game immediately before playing Jacksonville in London in Week 7. The NFL obliged, putting the Rams in Baltimore the week before so the team could have a shorter trip overseas and already be on Eastern time.<\/p>\n

The NFL unveiled its full 2025 schedule on Wednesday<\/a>, and for the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>, one stretch of the season comes with a bit of international flair and careful planning behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
Before the Rams fly overseas to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7 at Wembley Stadium<\/a>, they\u2019ll make a stop on the East Coast. At the team\u2019s request to play on the East Coast before going to London, the league scheduled them to play the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> in Week 6, giving Los Angeles a more manageable trip abroad.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a small logistical win, but an important one. By heading to Baltimore first, the Rams avoid a jarring time zone shift and cross-country flight just before heading to London. Instead, they’ll already be acclimated to Eastern Time, easing the transition for the transatlantic showdown.<\/p>\n
The Week 7 matchup marks the Rams’ return to international play for the first time since 2019, when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals in London. This time, they\u2019ll take on a Jaguars<\/a> team that\u2019s become a fixture in the UK, with a growing fanbase and frequent trips across the pond.<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s not the most daunting stretch on paper, the two-game road trip will test the Rams’ adaptability and endurance. If they can navigate it smoothly, it could be a confidence booster heading into the heart of their schedule.<\/p>\n
