It feels like a lifetime ago when we passed along the rumor that the Atlanta Falcons would play the Denver Broncos in London as part of the NFL’s expanding international series. That rumor was, of course, only two months ago.
Things have changed a lot since then. We highlighted the near impossibility of playing international games during out podcast with leading epidemiologists, who saw no possible way for the games to continue without risking a major outbreak of COVID-19.
The NFL is releasing the 2020 season schedule next week and the international games are no longer expected to occur internationally, per The Daily Mail.
