Mexico excited at the prospects of a Patriots visit in 2017

After the success of Monday Night Football in Mexico City, it is expected that the NFL will again play another regular season game there.

The widely anticipated 2017 matchup, according to various sources, would be the Oakland Raiders against the New England Patriots.

The Raiders are now veterans of Azteca Stadium, winning 27-20 over the Texans in their MNF matchup. The Raiders proved to have a large fan base in Mexico, with the majority of the crowd enthusiastically on their side throughout the game. It even extended to some potentially interfering issues, given that laser pointers were shone on Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler.
