The Green Bay Packers know that the 2025 off-season could be the one that takes this roster from playoff caliber to Super Bowl caliber. After making the playoffs in back to back seasons with Jordan Love under center, the future feels bright in Green Bay.
However, one announcement from the team didn’t sit well with fans at all.

Steven V. from Palos Park, IL
The Green Bay Packers are rumored to be playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers in late September in Dublin, Ireland. Is there a way to tell NFL this is a very bad idea? The Green Bay Packers have played two games overseas, they have lost both games, they have had both of their starting quarterbacks in the closing seconds of the games get injured.
I am against this idea. Is the NFL trying to fix the Packers to not be as good as they were in the early seasons under Matt LaFleur? I know you are going to be retiring in July, and you will be wrapping up this column. I would like to see at least one more question answered by you from me before this all comes to an end.
Thanks for raising this issue, Stephen. We should find out soon if we will play in Dublin. The reality regarding international games is that it is a huge priority for the league, and we need to get used to playing them. At minimum, we will be playing an international game every other year. The NFL does not care who wins or loses these games – league officials want close, competitive games to help grow the popularity of the game internationally.
Finally, I do not think there is any more risk of injury in international games. The league office does a good job of ensuring that the fields and games played overseas are in good condition.
Fans were not happy to see that Green Bay will be playing overseas at least once every other year:
