Five things to watch for in Saints-Dolphins in London Published: Sep 30, 2017 at 01:50 AM Digital Content Editor Set your alarms, turn on the telly and have yourself a cuppa. Another early Sunday morning of football is coming your way this weekend. After Jacksonville's evisceration Jrue Holiday Jersey of the last week at Wembley Stadium, the NFL returns to the United Kingdom for the second of four games this season, bringing the (1-1) and the (1-2) into the Greater London area and onto televisions, tablets and devices around the universe. The game is set to kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET, or 2:30 p.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), and will be broadcast in the States on FOX. Here's what we'll be watching for when the sun rises on the British Empire on Sunday: 's homecoming: By far the most prominent active football player for London -- sorry, -- Ajayi returns D.J. Augustin Jersey to his native Great Britain to play an NFL regular season game for the first time in his career. The running back is one of the game's greatest amba sadors, especially in the U.K., a market the Shield has been targeting for over a decade now. Can Ajayi break out in front of a sympathetic home crowd? After last week's dismal outing, he better. The tailback was stood up by the previously vulnerable run defense and tallied a measly 16 yards on the ground. Ajayi was a little banged up in the lo s and is still listed as questionable to play against the with a knee injury, although he is almost guaranteed to suit up. A bounce-back game against a New Orleans run defense that has surrendered at least 119 rushing yards in each of its first three games is expected from Ajayi. Look for the back to improve mightily on last week's career-worst 1.45 YPC clip. Drew dat, still:* Don't look now, but , at the ripe ol' age of 38, is still outperforming 90 percent of the league's starting quarterbacks. Through three games, Brees ranks in the top 10 in completion percentage (68.5), pa sing yards (867), touchdowns (6) and pa ser rating (109.7), all this despite playing against Mike Zimmer's , the defending champion and the defense, the league's top scoring unit entering Week 3. Plus, he is one of only four starting QBs yet to throw an interception ( , , Ru sell Wilson). Without and despite a dysfunctional running Sterling Brown Jersey game, Brees has thrived in the first quarter of the season, dispersing the ball mostly to second-year stud and his two top running backs ( , Alvin Kamara) on routes out of the backfield. Buoyed by the likely return of suspended receiver , Brees is slated to have another big week against a secondary that struggled to contain and . Take out the trash: Second-year coach Adam Gase had a few choice words for his team after their Week 3 embarra sment, telling reporters he was tired of . His a se sment wasn't Torrey Craig Jersey that far off. In 's second game under center, the once-retired quarterback polluted the field with off-balance and inaccurate throws and dumb interceptions; Miami's all-star receiving corps wasted their opportunities, dropping most of the balls that did come their way; and as previously mentioned, Ajayi had a rubbish outing. Playing the , who despite offseasons of promises have yet to fix their chronically maligned secondary, is the equivalent of a get-right situation for Miami. But if the start slowly as they did against New York, when they began the game with seven straight punts, then we may see Miami recycle its offensive woes and their coach offer a more explicit evaluation. Snap out of it!: Watch continues. The unnerved veteran saw nine, 15 and 14 snaps in his first three games with the , while incumbent starter and flexible rookie both saw more. Peterson looks to be the odd man out in the Bayou and could potentially be trade bait if things don't pan out. Taken off the injury report on Friday, Peterson will likely get looks against the ' top-five rush defense. How many remains the weekly question. South Beach Globetrotters: Are the travel-weary? After Hurricane Irma forced the postponement of their Week 1 test, Miami jetted off Brian Winters Jersey to Los Angeles for a week ahead of their opener against the , only to cro s the country back to South Florida for practice, up the coast to lose to the , back to the 305, and then acro s the world's second-largest ocean to play the . That's around 11,300 air miles traveled in le s than four weeks (#math), without playing a single home game. You have to wonder if fatigue has already set it in on this team, not even a fourth of the way into the campaign.
