NFL MAY PLAY IN BRAZIL, SPAIN

The NFL touted the global demand for its product ahead of its five international games while confirming Friday that cities in Brazil and Spain are under review as potential hosts in the future. London is hosting three games this season, beginning Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium. Two games will be played in Frankfurt, Germany, in November. The league has made an aggressive push internationally by adding a 17th game to the schedule to facilitate games abroad and give teams marketing rights in various countries. “There is passion and demand for our game and for the NFL outside the US, and that’s why we’re exploring it as fully as we are,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice president for club business, and international and league events.
