The 3 teams we host next year who haven't been to London or Mexico are Philadelphia, Green Bay and Seattle. Only two others, Tennessee and Carolina have yet to play overseas.

The Chargers host Tennessee in 2018.
Jacksonville hosts Philly.
Oakland hosts Seattle and Green Bay.
The Browns host Carolina.

Hopefully every NFL team will have played over seas after next year. If that's the plan we'll probably get Green Bay or Seattle.

I wouldn't mind it. Not looking forward to seeing tons of bandwagon Packer fans at the Coliseum.

Let’s play the Eagles in Mexico. That’s a tough trip for them and there are probably fewer Eagles fans in Mexico than LA.

Flying it's only 1,546 miles,, Flight time: 3 hours, 36 minutes. Almost like non stop to the big easy.


The only issue with Mexico City is the elevation, much higher than Denver, so teams often travel there a week early to get their bodies right or more right

Yeah, Mexico City is over 7000 feet. Yet, its not that cold there. Much better destination considering LA is the closest NFL city. Just get acclimated to the elevation a few days and they'll be fine.

I forgot about that. The way McV gets the team prepared my guess is he'll have the team practice in the Andes the week before the game. ;)

It looks like the Rams are going to be playing the Chiefs in Mexico City.



I thought when I posted the tweet it would show the English translation, but it's easy to figure out what he said.

They also play here in Denver next season.

It would be awesome if they put the Denver game before Mexico. Maybe they could come stay before the game and after to get acclimated to the Altitude. 8-)
