Following Wednesday\u2019s announcement of the international matchups, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/billsperos\/status\/2054550546531426581\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bookies.com\u2019s Bill Speros broke down the mileage each team will travel this season<\/a>, with the San Francisco 49ers set to eclipse the record for most miles traveled in a single season, coming in at 38,105 miles. San Francisco has games in Australia and Mexico this year, along with their 15 domestic games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The top five teams traveling the most mileage are the 49ers, the Los Angeles Rams (34,847), the Houston Texans (28,470), the Dallas Cowboys (27,980), and the New England Patriots (27,590), all of which will have games outside the United States in 2026. The Miami Dolphins will travel the sixth-most miles in the league this year, 27,568 miles, and they will do it all domestically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Miami\u2019s schedule always includes high mileage totals, coming out of South Florida and including annual trips to Buffalo, New York; Foxboro, Massachusetts; and East Rutherford, New Jersey as part of their AFC East division schedule. This year, they will also travel to Denver, Colorado; Las Vegas, Nevada; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Indianapolis, Indiana; and San Francisco, California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Speros points out that the top six teams, including Miami\u2019s domestic-only schedule, will travel more miles than the 24,901 it would take to circumnavigate the Earth at the equator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Carolina Panthers will have the fewest miles traveled this year at just 8,740. The Cleveland Browns will also remain below 10,000 miles, finishing the year with just 9.073 miles traveled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The NFL is set to release the full schedule on Thursday night. The Dolphins could reduce their travel time if they have back-to-back games at distant locations. A trip with Las Vegas, Denver, and\/or San Francisco on consecutive weeks could allow the team to stay out west, rather than flying back to Miami between those games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL will set a record for most miles traveled by its teams in a season during the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":890209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2049],"tags":[217,7,216,251,15851,2087,6],"class_list":["post-890208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami-dolphins","tag-dolphins","tag-football","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-miami-dolphins-schedule","tag-miamidolphins","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116567927941922440","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890208","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=890208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/890209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=890208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=890208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=890208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
