According to Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Oakland Raiders will play the New England Patriots next season. The addition of a game in Mexico City means the league will play five regular season games abroad in 2017, including four in London.
“We have a tremendous fan base in Mexico,” Goodell said Wednesday. “Their passion for football is inspiring, and we look forward to another memorable game in Mexico City between two great teams next season.”
The Raiders played in this year’s game in Mexico, defeating the Houston Texans 27-20.
