Packers GM reveals 'good thing' about season opener vs. Eagles in Brazil

The Green Bay Packers have a unique opening game in the 2024 NFL season, as they will play the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, Sept. 6 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke on the trip, which he said presents some unique challenges, but everyone is looking forward to it.

“I'm going to go glass half full on this as much as I can. We're not in Philly, so that's a really good thing,” Brian Gutekunst said to Adam Schefter. “As that thing came down I think there were some logistical challenges, but I think as we've gotten through those, we're pretty excited to go down there and our players are very excited, and putting it on a Friday night early where we're the only one on TV and everybody's watching I think players always love that.
