A nine-hour flight to Brazil and some time practicing under the sun in Sao Paulo seem to have softened the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers ahead of their season opener (LIVE on TSN, TSN.ca and the TSN App at 8pm ET/5pm PT).
SAO PAULO — A nine-hour flight to Brazil and some time practicing under the sun in Sao Paulo seem to have softened theNumerous players and coaches made comments before the trip suggesting they were unenthusiastic, concerned or downright grumpy about participating in the first NFL game in South America. But on Thursday, excitement drowned out those concerns.
Sirianni said his team has received first-class treatment since arriving Wednesday night. He added he is not concerned about crime in the city, an issue that several players have brought up. “I am a kid from East Houston that used to play this game in the streets. Any piece of grass I could find, I would go throw the ball around and really just enjoy the game," Hurts said."Just having the opportunity to come this far in this journey and be where we are, my spirit is full of gratitude to be here. It is a blessing to play in an international game and enjoy this moment with the people of Brazil.
