Today at 1:00 p.m. in London England, America's Team the Dallas Cowboys (6-3) will head across the pond to play the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8) in the NFL's third London game of the 2014 season.

Once again the story heading into this week for the Cowboys is whether or not quarterback Tony Romo will be able to play. Owner Jerry Jones is anticipating having his quarterback suit up, but Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was more non-committal. "He has to be functional," Garrett said Thursday. "He has to be able to protect himself.
"We as coaches, the football people, we're most interested in function, how is the player functioning," Garrett continued. "He might say 'this,' the doctor may say 'this,' but what we see is 'this.' We have to make the best decision during the week to get him ready to play on Sunday."
Without Romo last week running back DeMarco Murray was held to 79 yards on 19 carries; it was the first time this season Murray failed to rush for 100 yards or more.
Jacksonville, meanwhile, has been competitive of late despite their abysmal record. Head coach Gus Bradley said he's seen progress from rookie quarterback Blake Bortles and has been impressed by his attitude.
"He is so confident, so competitive," Bradley told the Jaguars' official website. "With him, he's constantly trying to get better. He learns from his mistakes. He goes out and tries to correct them. All those signs are just part of growth."
