Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel expressed enthusiasm for the prospect of playing a game in South America. The Dolphins have marketing rights in six countries, including Brazil, which will be highlighted in Friday night’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers.
McDaniel acknowledged the challenges of international travel, reflecting on the Dolphins’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany last season. He admitted to discomfort and lost sleep due to the disruption to his routine. However, he emphasized the importance of growing the game globally and embracing these opportunities.
The Dolphins have a significant Latin American fan base, making a “home” game in a country like Brazil a logical next step for the NFL. McDaniel believes playing in a game that incorporates Latin American culture would be a special experience for the team. He recognizes the importance of expanding the NFL’s reach and sees the value in sharing the sport with a passionate international audience.
