In itself, OK, fine. Except the Cardinals <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azcardinals.com\/news\/arizona-cardinals-opponents-set-for-2025-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">do have a road game to Indianapolis<\/a> in 2025, so that opens up a possibility &#8212; how large, I have no idea &#8212; of the team going to Germany next season.<\/p>\n<p>The league has announced there will be three games in England, but the three teams &#8220;hosting&#8221; those games &#8212; the Jaguars, Jets and Browns &#8212; eliminate the Cards from that equation. The Cardinals don&#8217;t play the Browns or Jets, and while they play the Jaguars, that game will be at State Farm Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be a game played in Madrid, Spain. The host team for that has not yet been announced, although if it is given to a team with marketing rights in Spain, it would be the Bears and Dolphins &#8212; also teams not on the Cardinals&#8217; opponents list. (UPDATE: And indeed, the Dolphins were awarded that game.)<\/p>\n<p>The Colts, who are one of the teams with marketing rights in Germany, won&#8217;t know their opposition until the schedule is released after the draft. It may not be the Cardinals, who last played internationally in 2022 in Mexico. But it could be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL announced on Wednesday that the Indianapolis Colts would be &#8220;hosting&#8221; an international game in Berlin, Germany&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,1054,2874,1051,7,2004,392,2381,1052,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-164397","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-darren-urban","10":"tag-darrens-blog-v2","11":"tag-featured-articles","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-indianapolis","14":"tag-indianapolis-colts","15":"tag-indianapoliscolts","16":"tag-mega-feed","17":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114759205163555401","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
