NFL London Games: Green Bay Packers CB slams schedule ahead of Giants clash

Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas has vented his frustration about having to play abroad for the NFL London Games. 

In a game that is 15 years in the making, and after 31 other NFL teams have played at least one time in London, the Green Bay Packers will finally make their bow on this side of the Atlantic Ocean when they take on the New York Giants at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Sunday.

The Packers come into the game with a 3-1 record, and are facing a Giants team that are also 3-1, but given that they are suffering a number of injuries right now, the ‘home’ team Packers should be feeling confident ahead of their first regular season game outside of North America.

And when it comes to playing outside of North America, travel plans are certainly a lot different than they usually would be on a traditional game week, and every team has their own different take on things. Take last week for instance, the New Orleans Saints came over on Monday in order to acclimatise, whilst the Minnesota Vikings arrived on Friday in order to keep things as close to normal as possible. 

This week, both the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers arrived this morning and are getting their practices in at their respective locations, so if there is to be an argument over which method is better, you won’t find it coming out of this game.

And that decision has left one member of the Packers team rather annoyed. Speaking to the media ahead of the game, cornerback Rasul Douglas, who played in London in 2018 with the Philadelphia Eagles, expressed that he wasn’t a fan of the setup when it came to playing on the other side of the Atlantic:
