NFL, Bills won’t play international games in 2020

Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, won’t play in Mexico City in 2020.

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has already altered the NFL’s offeseason. In at least one sense, it appears it will change their regular season, too.

It was previously reported that the NFL will release their 2020 regular season schedule this week. The hope is that fans will be in attendance when the season begins. But due to the pandemic, the NFL won’t be playing their usual international slate of games next year, per various reports on Monday.

The NFL typically plays a few games in London and then down in Mexico City. While the Bills don’t typically have a game scheduled for international play, they were a candidate to do so in 2020.

While we don’t know the team’s schedule, we know who the Bills will be playing next season. Among them, the Arizona Cardinals on the road. The Cards were a team that were slated to host an international game in Mexico next season, meaning the Bills had a 1/8 chance to be the team traveling south of the border. Instead, it sounds like they’ll just head southwest.
