Hey sorry Fren, I had my "footballs" confused, lol.
The first NFL game was played in 2005:
When was the first NFL game in Mexico?
The first NFL game in Mexico was held in 2005, when the Cardinals defeated the 49ers. After an 11-year gap, the NFL returned to Mexico in 2016 when the Raiders defeated the Texans. American football returned to Mexico City in 2017 and 2019 before a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
-The NFL has been playing games in Mexico since the 1970's- . This is not a new phenomenon.
edit:
I AM WRONG! Many apologies, Frens. It's actually 2005
First game in Mexico since 2018 according to announcer Joe Buck. At least our football has a clock that counts DOWN instead of UP.
