Packers vs. Eagles – Brazil will become the fifth country to host the NFL international series

The NFL started its international series in the year 2007 with the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins playing the first international game. Later the international series garnered more popularity. Mexico City, Toronto, and London hosted a lot of games. Last season, the international game was hosted in Germany.

Now, after all these countries Brazil has become the fifth country to host the NFL with a new feather being added to the hat of the country. It is worth noting that the game will be hosted by the Corinthians Stadium.

It is to be seen who emerges victorious in the game. The two best quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love will have a faceoff. After last season, the Packers with the leadership of Love will be one of the dark horses of the NFL.
