Planning for NEXT year (2026 season):   the LA Rams will play a game in Sydney Australia (doesn't look like the Panthers would be eligible to play this particular one per expected schedule matchups)

So dumb

I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.  

But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game?

A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia.

Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
