Packers vs. Giants in London: 12 stats about the NFL International Series

Back in 2007, the NFL played its first regular season game outside the U.S. as part of the NFL International Series. The series started with games in London, expanded to Mexico a decade later, and on November 13 this season will play its first game in Munich, Germany (Seattle vs. Tampa Bay).

With their game this Sunday against the New York Giants, the Green Bay Packers become the 32nd and final NFL team to play a game outside the U.S. The contest will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The Packers have been designated the home team in this game.
