NFL 100th Anniversary Kick-Off Game

[Chevy]

In China?

NFL aiming to potentially play game in China in 2019

It's bad enough to have games in the UK and Mexico - but a landmark game in China? The NFL is an American entity - it needs to stay here.

That's 20 hours of flight time and a 12 or 13 hour time difference.

That has to played in conjunction with a bye week and can't be the first game of the season.

The general consensus is it would indeed be the first game of the season, played a week in advance of the rest of the league starting (with the 2 participating teams having that opening weekend off).

I expect Kraft to be all over this. Let's just hope that we don't give up a home game and are nominally the road team

I would rather open at home on Thursday night, if you catch my meaning.

Because ? Just the next logical step in increasing profits.. nothing more American than that.

All I want to see is the 1st annual Kick That Scumbag Rat Ba$tard Goodell Off The Planet game...the one where we use his ****in' head for a soccer ball.

It is about 12 hours difference in Shanghai, so when would they play the game there @ 8:00 AM???

More ******** that dilutes the quality of the game at the expense of the players.. they usually use their bye week to spend some family time, not travel to the far east..

I don't know which idea is dumber: an NFL game in China, or an NFL team in London.
