The Arizona Cardinals were just announced to be the home team for the Mexico City match-up at Estadio Azteca 15 years after they played in the NFL’s first regular-season game outside of the United States. Arizona won that game 31-14 over the San Francisco 49ers with 103,467 fans in attendance.
In last year’s match-up in Mexico City, the Chargers played host to the Kansas City Chiefs in a close match-up between AFC West rivals. The Chiefs won that game 24-17.
There is plenty of speculation to believe, based on last year’s match-up of interdivisional rivals, that the opponent for the Cardinals could be the the Rams.
