The matchup will count as a home game for the Falcons in 2021, and while the opponent has yet to be declared, it won’t be an NFC South team, per ESPN’s Michael Rothstein. Here is the list of possible opponents.
- New England Patriots
- New York Jets
- Washington Football Team
- Detroit Lions
The last time Atlanta played in London was in 2014 when the team lost to the Lions after a second-half comeback by Detroit.
