The Philadelphia Eagles are set to fly to Brazil next week for their Week 1 matchup against the Geen Bay Packers.
How excited are they?
"No comment," Eagles wide receiver Devonta Smith said on Thursday. "It’s football just line up."
It's the first time an NFL game will ever be played in Brazil, but it's a long process to get there, including a nearly 10-hour flight and
On top of the flight, the Eagles have more "Don'ts" than "Do's" to follow while in town, which they had a meeting about this week.
"A lot," Eagles' A.J. Brown when asked about what the players can't do. "Honestly, things that we would normally do here … Even as simple as just walking down the street with your phone in your hand. Stuff like that, which is kinda crazy but … It's alright."
Because of that, Brown doesn't plan on doing much, if any, sightseeing.
"It was me talking to them and asking a lot of questions," Brown said during. "You know that was my first initial thought but after hearing all the stuff, I'm probably gonna be in my room."
The Eagles have a lot to prove after what happened last fall and kicking off the season in another country doesn't sound like the ideal way to get back on track, but Brown won't let the nuances get in his way.
"I'm just trying to go down there," Brown said. "Win a football game and come back home. That's the best way I can put it."
Eagles fans can catch the historic game locally on NBC10 or stream on Peacock next Friday, Aug. 6 at 8:15 p.m. ET.
