For the past couple of seasons, the NFL has had a regular season game in the UK. By the response of the crowds at Wembley Stadium, the NFL is considering a 2nd overseas game for the 2010 season. One could be in London and the 2nd game could be elsewhere in the UK.
The negative thing is that it takes a home game away from a NFL team. Players also complained about going overseas in the middle of the season because of the extensive amount of traveling. That can be another reason why they are considering cutting the preseason games to 2 instead of 4.

Glad the Cardinals got there foreign game done several years ago in Mexico City.
Arizona is not supposed to lose a home game for this purpose until all teams have done so.

Re: NFL considering 2nd overseas game for 2010
I get the public relations thing and wanting to get the NFL out to other countries and have them buy the sports packages and stuff, but this just screams WTF.

I like the 18 game idea. There is no reason to play in London every year. move it around or keep it in North America. Football in London is so awesome that the London Monarchs moved to Germany.
