Cameras caught the Green Bay Packers players and staffers touching down in São Paulo, Brazil ahead of Friday night’s showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Green Bay Packers, designated as the visiting team, will take on the Eagles at Arena Corinthians at 8:15 p.m. EST. Friday’s contest will also mark the first NFL game to take place in Brazil.
Ahead of the game, there have been reports about concerns for players safety. Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown and cornerback Darius Slay have publicly stated that they were given plenty of warnings for their safety, with Slay stating that they were told never to leave the hotel.
On Wednesday evening, the official NFL/X Twitter account shared a video of the Packers landing in São Paulo. As you can tell by their facial expressions, the Packers don’t look all that enthused to be there;
