Jan 15, 2010 at 07:53 AM

A previously-rumored overseas clash between the Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers in London will not happen in 2010.

According to the Denver Broncos official web site, the NFL will announce that the Broncos will play the 49ers in London on Sunday, October 31 in what was scheduled to be a home game for the 49ers.

"The Denver Broncos are honored to play in London against the 49ers as part of the NFL's International Series," said Broncos president and CEO Pat Bowlen. "Our organization has been fortunate to play in several American Bowls in previous years, including one in London, but to play a regular-season game overseas is truly special."

A *Santa Rosa Press Democrat *story on January 4 reported that the Eagles' scheduled trip to San Francisco in 2010 was under consideration to be relocated to London.
