SAO PAULO — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday he would like the league to have as many as 16 international games in a season.
“The ownership’s approved eight games already,” Goodell said before the NFL’s first game in Brazil.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host a New York Jets-Minnesota Vikings game on Oct. 6 and a Jacksonville Jaguars-Chicago Bears matchup on Oct. 13.
The other international game has the New York Giants playing the Carolina Panthers in Munich’s Allianz Arena on Nov. 10.
Owners voted in December to authorize the league to host eight games internationally each season.
