| Gooooo JAGS |
So Sunday was the NFL game that I got Matt tickets for, for
his birthday. This is a really show of how quickly time flies by. I bought
these back in January and I had to wait 2 months to give them to him which was
painful and then a further 7 months until the game! Felt like a life time away
but now it is all in the past and that 7months disappeared in the blink of an
eye.
I picked The Jacksonville Jaguars vs The Buffalo Bills game.
I’m not sure why I just liked the sound of them and I am actually so pleased I
picked these teams.
So Sunday morning I decided to dress warmly, if you are in
the UK you will know the temperature has dropped drastically in the last few weeks.
I picked out one of my favourite autumn dresses from Yumi and grabbed my navy
New Look coat from last year.
We headed to a café a few minute walk from our flat and had
a DELICIOUS fry up. Annoyingly they were doing engineering works at Redhill over
the weekend so we could only get the London Bridge train which was a once an
hour situation so it was important we made the 10:01 train! As it turned out we
were done eating by 9:20ish so popped back to the flat so I could grab a little
cardigan and gloves as it was much
colder than I thought it was going to be and then headed to the train.
It was a long journey to Wembley Park, we stopped off and I
got a pumpkin spiced Latte and a pumpkin doughnut from Krispy Kreme.

The tube was over 15 stops but it went quite quickly and we
arrived to a sea of people and a great game day atmosphere! I bought myself a
little scarf as it was only £10 and really got me into the game day spirit and
meant I had a nice souvenir for the day.
 |
| The crowds were crazy! |
We headed up to take our seats just before 1pm (the kick off
was 1:30) It meant we got to see all the pregame bits. We saw the mascots
coming in via zip wire off the roof, the cheerleaders and the marching band
that were just amazing!
The game then started and even that was a show, introducing the
team members of the Jaguars with bursts of fire and smoke! The game started and
Matt had to explain the rules to me as I had forgotten to look that up (again
time slipped away, I kept thinking hey I have loads of time ill look later)

I started to get really into it and in the second quarter I
saw the Jaguars get 3 touch downs one after the other taking the score up to
Jag 24 – Bill 3. It stayed this way until after half time when the Bills made
an amazing touch down and their luck changed and the score flipped to Jags 27 –
Bills 31.
I had really gotten into the Jaguar spirit and I really
wanted them to win and it was all getting quite tense but the Jaguars managed
to get one final touch down which made me leap from my seat and wave my flag
like a mad woman.
The final score was Jags 34 – Bills 31… I really got into
the spirit and I really REALLY want to go back next year I think it is a must!
I didn’t realise but this was their first UK win and ended up being a pretty
epic game for them!

The crowds were crazy getting out and ended up at the shop
to get Matt a hoodie, unfortunately we queued for near on an hour and they were
sold out, alas it dampened his mood a little. However we then headed off to
Bond Street. One of the reasons I was really pleased I picked that game was Ed’s
Easy Diner (which is one of my favourite restaurants) were supporting the
Jaguars and they had a special menu for them and also a deal where you could
claim a free milkshake if they got a touchdown which they did so YAY free
milkshake!
I ordered the Blakes #5 QB Burger which was 2 pattys with
cheese and BBQ pulled pork and Matt went with the HUGE Jaxson’s Jump with triple
patty, triple bacon and 3 types of cheese. It was delicious and I was STARVING
as I hadn’t eaten since the morning. We then washed it down with a delicious Oreo
milkshake and headed home.
