Aaron Rodgers Critiques Late Travel for International NFL Games
The NFL's international games began in 2007, coinciding with Aaron Rodgers' early career as a starting quarterback. He participated in his first international game in 2022, and this year marks his fourth game in a third different country.
Upon arriving in France for a game against the Saints, Rodgers shared his concerns regarding the travel arrangements made by his teams for international matches. He noted that in each of his previous games abroad, the teams departed on Thursday evenings, suggesting that a Monday arrival would have been preferable.
Travel plans for international games are typically determined by team management, prioritizing organizational interests over player preferences. While some late arrivals have proven successful, others have not, as illustrated by the Rams' experience in Australia.
