The Colts will be playing a 2025 game at Olympic Stadium in Berlin in 2025, becoming the first NFL team to play a regular season game there. They will give up one home game for this. Their opponent will be announced when the schedule is released in May:

Possible opponents:

Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
Arizona Cardinals
Atlanta Falcons
Denver Broncos
Las Vegas Raiders
Miami Dolphins
San Francisco 49ers

I suspect the Jags will play as the visiting team in one of the London games, but it's possible they could play the Berlin game if the NFL want to experiment with the idea of a team playing back-to-back in different places in Europe. Perhaps they have an idea of creating a European division in the longer term with franchises based in London, Germany and perhaps countries like Ireland and Sweden.

As long as we sign Caelan Doris and Tadhg Beire while we're over there. TE and DE of the future (all right, Beirne because he looks just like Doug Atkins).
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

Friendship is better than fighting, but fighting is more useful.

Hands off!

(Thinking about Andrew Porter or Tadhg Furlong as fullbacks now...).

Hell, as long as we're imagining Leinster as Bears East, put Furlong in front of Porter and add Sam Prendergast as our answer to Puka Nakua. Heck, I'm not sure that Furlong or Porter are any smaller than Calijah Kancey or...what the hell, they'd be Aaron Donald, wouldn't they?

(The Beirne business started with a little joke to a friend in Dublin during the World Cup, so this isn't *all* down to American solipsism. Porter's about to get paid and Furlong seems happy on the farm.)
