The NFL announced that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be one of five teams to play a home game in another country as part of its NFL International Series. The destination will either be London or Mexico City.
The league has determined that there will be four games in London and one game in Mexico City in 2019. The NFL tried to play the Los Angeles Rams vs. Kansas City game in Mexico City earlier this year before turf problems forced that game to move to Los Angeles.
