"With Rams owner Stan Kroenke also owning the English Premier Leagues' Arsenal soccer team, a date in London to play the NFL's annual international game certainly makes sense. And St. Louis players had better get used to it, because not only will they face the Patriots in 2012, but the Rams also have signed up to play in London in 2013 and 2014.

That's the word from the team, which also reports that next year's game will occur Oct. 28 at 1 p.m. ET (6 p.m. local time).

The Rams will be the home team in 2012, meaning they'll lose a game at the Edward Jones Dome."
