The Jets are taking off for England in 2015.

The Jets will face the Dolphins in London in Week 4 next season, the league announced Thursday. The game will take place at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 4, 2015.

Some Jets fans might not like the fact that a divisional game will be played overseas, but the good news for the Jets is that the London game will be a home game for Miami. That means the Jets will maintain their full eight-game home schedule.

Asked for his thoughts on playing in London next year, Jets coach Rex Ryan couldn't help but make a joke. "I'll say the obvious,'' he said, smiling. "As long as I'm on that plane, it'll be a great trip. I'm looking forward to it.''

The other two London games next season do not feature divisional rivals: Bills vs. Jaguars and Lions vs. Chiefs.

The Dolphins already have experienced the London life and game-time atmosphere. Miami defeated the Raiders, 38-14, at Wembley Stadium in Week 4.Ben's security issues

Ben Roethlisberger may be lighting it up in the end zone -- he has passed for 12 touchdowns and 862 yards in the past two games -- but there's one big hole in the Steelers quarterback's game. "We know that he has poor ball security,'' defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson said.

Defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman didn't agree with that take. "Twelve touchdown passes?'' he said. "I don't think that is poor ball security.''

Wilkerson did call Roethlisberger one of the league's "elite'' quarterbacks and praised his elusiveness. "I missed a sack last year on him -- well, missed several, actually,'' he said. "So he's definitely a guy that you've got to make sure you wrap up.''

Darrin Walls (calf) did not practice. Jeremy Kerley (personal reasons) also missed practice and Ryan said it likely will be a two-day absence.
