Eagles' Ajayi hopes to capture elusive win in hometown London this season

Hometown returns have yet to prove kind to Jay Ajayi, but the running back is intent on changing that in 2018 when his Philadelphia Eagles go across the pond.

"This will be my third time coming to Wembley (Stadium in London, England)," he told James Simpson of Sky Sports. "I've lost the last two, so I'm due for a win. It's time."

Ajayi made two trips to London as a member of the Miami Dolphins. He didn't play in a 27-14 loss to the New York Jets in 2015 and rushed for 46 yards in a 20-0 defeat to the New Orleans Saints in 2017. His third visit will feature a matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 28.

"Yeah, they have a great defense," Ajayi said of the Jags. "They do a lot of things well, a lot of great pieces on there. But I'm excited about that challenge and I'm excited about the team that I'm on and us being able to rise to that."

Unlike his previous two returns, Ajayi will come home this year as a Super Bowl champion. The 25-year-old rushed for 408 yards and a touchdown in seven regular-season outings for the Eagles last year after being acquired from the Dolphins at the trade deadline.
