The Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and Arizona Cardinals will all be playing a game in Europe this coming season.
Minnesota vs New Orleans (Week 4 October 2nd) along with New York and Green Bay (Week 5 October 9th) will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Denver and Jacksonville will play on October 30th at Wembley Stadium. Seattle and Tampa will play in Munich on November 13th, Germany while San Francisco and Arizona will take place in Mexico City on November 21st.
It will be the first time that an NFL regular-season game takes place in Germany. Tom Brady is set to become the first quarterback to play in three countries overseas. In addition, both the Vikings and Saints are 2-0 in matches playing in London. So it's interesting to see them square off with a perfect record on the line for both.
It'll certainly be interesting to finally see Aaron Rodgers play in London. As far as the Jaguars go, they've been making trips to London every year since 2013. Perhaps, they'll be taking a trip to England every year from now. If it helps the team and the league, then why not? But then again, these overseas trips are quite costly. According to Pat McAfee, NFL players don't like playing international games. Check out the video!
The whole concept of NFL games taking place in London is very interesting. It's very interesting to see American Football games played in Soccer stadiums. It's our opportunity to introduce soccer fans to another form of football, right?
