One day after the Patriots were slaughtered at home by Pittsburgh, the NFL announced New England will be playing a game next season in London. Last season, the Giants beat the Dolphins 13-10, and earlier this year New Orleans beat San Diego, 37-32. Both games were played at Wembley Stadium in front of sold out crowds of over 83,000.
The Pats will be playing in the third annual UK game, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 25, 2009. The Bucs will be the "home team", meaning the Patriots still get to play eight games at Gillette Stadium next season.
Last season, the NFL announced they will hold an annual game in England at least through the 2010 season. The Patriots are 7-5 so far this year, one game behind the New York Jets. The Buccaneers are 9-3 and tied with Carolina atop the NFC South.

The New England Patriots are a professional football team that has enjoyed varying degrees of success throughout its checkered history. Under owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots won three Super Bowls during a four-year period (2001-04).
