NFL rosters consist of 53 players, 46 of which are active on gamedays. So that means nearly 40 percent of the Dallas Cowboys roster missed curfew on Friday night in London, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Look, is this the end of the world as we know it? A quick review of the lyrics to the R.E.M. song on that subject says nothing about that, and realistically these are grown men who can stay out late two days before the Cowboys' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars without issue.

A team source told Shutdown Corner earlier this week that the Cowboys' schedule in London, where the game is being played Sunday, was quite packed and that through Thursday, the players and staff hadn't had much chance to do any sightseeing of any kind. That said, this is a business trip, and the Cowboys didn't fly 10 hours as a team for folly.
Let's not make too much of this just yet, but for a team that now has lost two in a row prior to the Jaguars game after opening the season with a 6-1 start, it could be the sign that this team might need to focus a bit more and tighten things up before things start really unraveling.
Just one more thing, along with Tony Romo's balky back, that head coach Jason Garrett has to worry about.
