NFL Week 4 London game live tracker: Falcons, Jaguars go across the pond in first international game of 2023
After a breakout season in 2022, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still trying to find their stride this year. Jacksonville turned in a strong performance in Week 1, scoring 31 points in a win over the Indianapolis Colts. Since then, the team's offense hasn't looked as strong, leading to two straight losses.
Maybe some home cooking can get the Jags back on track. No, they aren't technically the London Jaguars, but the team has plenty of experience playing games in Europe. Week 4 will mark the 10th time the team has played in London. Perhaps that's all they need to get back on track.
The Atlanta Falcons, however, should prove to be a tough opponent. Led by rookie Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and a fantastic offensive line, the Falcons' running attack is among the best in the NFL. Robinson has already dazzled NFL fans stateside. Now, he'll get a chance to show out on a global stage.
Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides the latest scores, stats and injuries as the Jaguars take on the Falcons in London in Week 4.
Falcons show some life to start 2nd half
Atlanta was on the cusp of letting the game get out of hand before its opening drive in the third quarter. Robinson broke off a 38-yard run and six plays later Desmond Ridder hit Drake London for a much-needed touchdown to cut the Jaguars' lead to 17-7.

Jaguars defense delivers crushing pick 6 — and then adds another INT
Ridder was leading the Falcons down the field, looking to cut into Jacksonville's lead before the second-year QB threw an interception to Darious Williams, who returned the ball 61 yards for the score and a 17-0 Jaguars lead.

On the very next drive, Ridder made another unfortunate decision, allowing Andre Cisco to pick him off and set the Jaguars offense up in prime position. Atlanta's defense held Jacksonville, forcing a turnover on downs in the red zone.

The No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is showing out across the pond — with his legs and his hands.
