NFL: 2024-25 NFL News, Notes, Other Probably Dumb Stuff and the Like

Flying to Europe is one thing. A flight to Melbourne is like 22hrs from Philly.

That's got to be a game 1 or something. Asking a lot for 2 teams to recover from the travel and time zone change to play the following weekend. Or they both take a bye week after that game.

And also what time is the game? 16 hours ahead here. Is it a night game in Australia or in the US? If they had to play Brazil on a Friday, can’t do that this time, because it’ll be Saturday there, and then almost Monday when they get home.

2 pm PST is 9am the next day in Australia. 5 pm pst is the prime time slot in North America.

So very likely it’s a Friday night here game for a Saturday noon start down there. Can only do that for week 1. But would be a rough week 2 for the clubs to recover from.

I don’t think they can play the game any later than Friday afternoon in Australia, and then the Eagles would host whoever Kirk Cousins is playing for on Monday. Maybe they do a double header on Thursday on NBC.
