NFL announces 2023 International Series
Despite the fact that a good number of months remain, the days are advancing and the upcoming season seems closer and closer. An example of the above is that this Thursday the NFL 2023 Calendar will be announced, where the dates and times of each of the games of the next season will be announced, although there is no reason to wait until tonight for the first taste. of what is coming. This Wednesday the league made official the games belonging to the 2023 International Series.
Without further ado, the meetings are the following:
- week 4: Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday October 1 (Wembley Stadium, London, England)
- week 5: Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills, Sunday October 8 (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England)
- week 6: Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans, Sunday, October 15 (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England)
- week 9: Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, November 5 (Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt, Germany)
- week 10: Indianapolis Colts vs. New England Patriots, Monday, November 13 (Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt, Germany)
As previously reported, the league will not be coming to Mexico City next season as the Estadio Azteca is undergoing renovations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In fact, the really curious thing is that the Jaguars will be the first team in history to play two games in London in the same season. In addition, Jacksonville will also play in the same city in 2024 in the last match corresponding to a 3-year agreement that, for the moment, is about to expire with Wembley Stadium.
“In what promises to be a great football spectacle for our fans around the world, we are delighted to announce the five games that will be played at international level in 2023, a record number of regular season games in Europe in one season.” Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president, Team Business, Major and International Events, said Wednesday.
“We are excited to bring three games to London once again, a city with a great love for the sport and a passionate fan base across the UK. We are also pleased to confirm that the two games in Germany will be played in Frankfurt, a city steeped in NFL heritage. We look forward to hosting both games at Eintracht Frankfurt’s Stadium, building on the incredible atmosphere experienced at last season’s game in Munich,” O’Reilly concluded.

Aaron Jones: “When Jordan Love speaks, everyone listens”
As is well known, QB Aaron Rodgers was traded from the Packers to the Jets a couple of weeks ago, so the era of QB Jordan Love, the team’s first-round pick in the 2020 Draft, will begin in Green Bay. And this Wednesday , Love, 24, mentioned in a press conference what he will face in 2023, noting that “he could not really control what would happen in the future”, but that he approached the offseason as if he were about to be the new owner of the franchise.
“It’s exciting, there’s a lot of energy around me. I can step up and be a little more expressive knowing I’m the man, not the backup,” said Love, who also added that it wasn’t easy trailing Rodgers for three seasons after being a first-round pick, though he admitted that it was “very valuable” to learn from the veteran four-time NFL MVP, and that he feels he has improved “drastically” since coming to Green Bay.
Love is not just words on the air and RB Aaron Jones, a 28-year veteran, did not hesitate to praise him during a press conference also this Wednesday. Jones commented that, “when [Love] talks, everyone listens”, and explained the reasons why his new quarterback has already earned the “full trust” of his teammates: “He believes in himself, first of all”, emphasized Jones, who last year he carried the ball 213 times for 1,121 yards, albeit with only 2 TDs.
“That’s the first point: believe in yourself or no one else will. He believes in himself, he cares about those around him and we’ve seen him come and just work and work. As an athlete, you want to go in and play right away, that wasn’t the case for him, he didn’t get that opportunity. He did it the right way, he waited for his moment and you never heard a peep or complaint from him, “Jones concluded about a Love who, although he has played in 10 games, has only started one, accumulating 60.2% of complete shipments for 606 yards, 3 TD and 3 INT.

Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask to receive ‘equal reps’
After the retirement of QB Tom Brady the previous February, a new era begins in Tampa Bay, but who will hold the keys to the offense is still unknown. The franchise currently has two options: Kyle Trask, the team’s second-round pick in 2021, or Baker Mayfield, the Browns’ first overall pick in 2018, but who landed with the Buccaneers in the middle of last March. According to quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis, both will receive equal opportunities to start in 2023.
“I’m sure they’ll get fair reps, then we’ll see what they do on a daily basis. Competition makes everyone great,” Lewis concluded of both players. The 28-year-old Mayfield has the advantage in experience with his career 69 starts, 16,288 passing yards and 102 TDs in five league seasons, including making it to the playoffs. For his part, Trask, 25, has just completed 3 of 9 passes for 23 yards since he arrived in Tampa Bay.
Finally, OC Dave Canales added that there is no “rush” in choosing: “It’s a win-win when you create competition,” Canales said, via The Athletic. “If you name the starter, the substitute starts to think like that. But if you say competition, we are going to allow them to enter the preseason, to show us that they can manage, take care of the ball, that will be the determining factor. As I said to him [al GM Jason Licht] From the start, I’ll train whoever you give me, and whoever we decide [iniciar]. I’ll have both ready.”
