The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing their first international game in more than a decade. It’s doubtful the franchise will wait as long for its next. One of the biggest marks on commissioner Roger Goodell’s legacy is the NFL’s growth overseas, a trend he has no plans on reversing in the coming years. Speaking on NFL Network before Sunday morning’s Dublin kickoff between the Steelers and Minnesota Vikings, Goodell offered big future plans.
“I think so,” Goodell said in an interview with Colleen Wolfe when asked about the league playing internationally each week once the NFL moves to an 18-game season.
