The Philadelphia Eagles are set to open their season against the Green Bay Packers in a unique home game held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, marking the NFL's first game in South America.
Players express reluctance about travel safety and missing local fan support. Eagles players, including Darius Slay and A.J. Brown, share mixed feelings about the trip, emphasizing the necessity of focusing on the game.
Both teams aim to build on previous seasons; the Packers hope to leverage late-season success from the previous year, while the Eagles seek to recover from a disappointing finish.
Notable coaching changes have occurred for both teams, with new offensive and defensive coordinators in place. Additionally, each team features new running backs after recent acquisitions.
