The NFL has decided to move Monday's game between the Chiefs and Rams from Mexico City to Los Angeles before of poor field conditions at Estadio Azteca, it was announced Tuesday.
Players had strongly considering not playing if the NFL had opted to play the game in Mexico City, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter earlier Tuesday. The issue is that soccer games and concerts have left the field inside Estadio Azteca a mess.
"It's not fair to risk our health," a prominent player told Schefter on Tuesday.
Rams safety John Johnson saw the current field conditions in Mexico City on social media and tweeted his reaction.
