Those fans follow US teams because they don't have a local team. People in Mass used to be diehard Giants fans before the Pats arrived.
A British NFL team vs a rival NFL team would draw interest. I don't know who England's biggest rival is. Ireland?
The NFL is looking at heavily populated locations with high income. London has both.
Europeans have a very different mindset to American fans, it's far more tribal, and loyal, for want of a better word. We'd never flip flop between teams, or "support" two different teams. It's just not how things are done. See MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon for example.
