The Miami Herald reports that the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets will play one of their two 2015 divisional games in London.

The Miami Dolphins will return to a familiar haunt for their third game in franchise history at Wembley Stadium in London. They will play ‘host’ in 2015 to division rival New York Jets, which should make this one a bit more interesting than their beating of the Oakland Raiders earlier this season.

The Miami Herald had originally reported the Dolphins would play a 2015 game in London, but hadn’t released any further details of the game. Now it appears they know the opponent and it’s a familiar one in New York. The major drawback for Miami is that this game will consume one of their eight home games in 2015.

The NFL made it clear they want more games in London and the Florida teams are the ones being sent most frequently it seems. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been a regular fixture in the series as they’ll play Week 10 as the home team against the Dallas Cowboys. Now it seems Miami is catching on as another London participant du-jour. At least this game will feature a heated division rivalry as opposed to the usual pairing of opponents with no history.
