It’s also the first time since 1970 that the league will play a regular season matchup on a Friday.
Philadelphia is coming off a disappointing season where the team lost four of its last five regular season games and got bounced from the playoffs by the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni says both teams underwent changes in the offseason.
And Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts? Happy just to be playing whether it’s in Philadelphia or Sao Paulo.
On the Packers sideline, Packers coach Matt LaFleur is excited to be playing in Brazil.
And, guess what, Jordan Love says there are tons of fans (including Packers fans, we can assume) in Brazil.
Green Bay has high hopes this season.
The team squeaked into the playoffs as a Wild Card team and blew out the Cowboys in Round One before falling to the 49ers in the Divisional round.
