The NFL makes its debut in Brazil with a special edition of Friday Night Football in Week 1, as the Green Bay Packers take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Browns fans may recall that Cleveland was once rumored to be involved in this game, but it ultimately went to the Packers-Eagles.
As far as the game goes, South America is getting a top-notch match-up. After a 3-6 start to last season, the Packers won 6 of their final 8 games before upsetting the Cowboys in the playoffs and losing a late lead to the 49ers. Jordan Love has shown a lot of promise to turning the Packers into the regular contender they were under Aaron Rodgers.
