Colin Kaepernick was the star of the game for the 49ers. He threw a touchdown pass to Vernon Davis, while also adding two rushing touchdowns. Legendary running back Frank Gore also scored two touchdowns for the 49ers.
#4 - 2017: Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals are both members of the NFC West division. This means they play against each other twice every regular season, with each team hosting one game.
During the 2017 season, they took one of their annual matchups international for an edition of the NFL London. The Rams absolutely dominated the game, winning 33-0 in a shutout. Todd Gurley put in a strong performance for the Rams, totaling 154 yards and a touchdown.
#3 - 2015: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions
While the 2015 NFL London game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions was before Patrick Mahomes arrived in the league, the Chiefs offense was just as dominant in this game with Alex Smith under center. The Chiefs impressed with a 45-10 victory at Wembley Stadium.
Smith completed more than 70 percent of his pass attempts for two touchdowns, including one to Travis Kelce. Smith also added 78 rushing yards and another touchdown.
Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford struggled in this game. His two interceptions proved costly in defeat.
#2 - 2017: Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens

Flacco completed just eight of his 18 pass attempts for just 28 yards and two interceptions, one for Jalen Ramsey. Blake Bortles had the opposite outcome with one of the best games of his career, including four touchdowns. Marcedes Lewis caught three of them and Leonard Fournette also added a touchdown.
#1 - 2012: New England Patriots vs. St. Louis Rams
The 2012 NFL season occurred before the Rams moved away from St. Louis and to Los Angeles. It was also right in the middle of the New England Patriots' dynasty, ruling the NFL for two decades. This game was one of their many huge victories, easily winning 45-7 in a NFL London game.
Tom Brady was the star of the game, as he often is, throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns. Nearly half of his production went to Rob Gronkowski, who recorded 146 yards and two touchdowns.
