Its insane when you think about how much money goes into maintaining an NFL team. Even without the travel, they still need all that food, equipment etc.
Millions it’s crazy
It comes from our pockets 😂
littlesame ya if you watch it or go to games or buy apparel
& their salaries 😟
Makes you wonder how they survive in London, without food and stuff...
You should have a bye week before the London game
They had their bye afterwards so it kinda evens out. I'm sure the splitting of the flights helped a little bit.
@@connorleahy2792 I wonder if they all get a game the week prior in a city that has an international airport if their city doesn't have one? 🤔
@@emac7050 all NFL cities do.
@@memphisgrizzlies3398 Oh, well shit, shows you how much I know about flying
@@emac7050 Almost all airports that handle regular traffic in the US have customs, even if they don't have regular international flights.
The Raiders did it right; as soon as the Colts game ended, they got on a plane to go to London and had most if not the entire week to acclimate to the new time zone. Bears flew in late week and seemed tired.
thats what im saying why the rams spend 4 days in atlanta
Turbisky was tired
littlesame trubisky is always tired well it seems that way
@@littlesame that’s the norm with him
That’s probably just the Bears
I feel like the bengals just flew to London the day before and tossed the players some Doritos for a pregame meal and threw them on the field 😂
So basically a basic JV football trip where the team you play is 30 miles away, and you have no highways and your mom gives you chips and kool-aid...
Then you lose by 30, get home late and gotta go to school the next day lol...
Actually I think the bengals indoor practice facility guy cooked them a meal
Zachary Davis yes the bengals in their totally real and fully functioning indoor practice facility
@@christopheroliver4757 bro, wtf is this so relatable
Your probably not wrong it is cinncinati after all
Todd Gurley Trying too hard too get sponsored by an English company
Maybe the pounds to dollars conversion rate is really good right now haha
Dudes gotta actually show up if he wants international sponsorship
*English
Jozef Brodala no one caress
London don't want no black ass American niggas trying to get with Kate Middleton and Megan markle foo
I swear everyone in the Rams organization other than Wade Phillips is under 35
That LA life treats em well
@@SliceofBread123 the Rams do travel well on road trips
Buster Nut thats prolly why they couldn’t score more than 3 points in the sb
holstfly1 still salty?
bostonc335 Must suck having no life and a small brain huh? You definitely dropped out of school
Imagine having to do all this working for the Bungals knowing you are gonna lose
LazzyBurrito bungals lol
Nigga bungals you just made a new nfl team 😂
The Bungles could win or lose depending on there opponents there playing
Jason Gentile that is the most obvious statement I’ve ever read. It could apply to literally every team for every sport there is.
Lmfao
10:43
“and not being a distraction to the team”
*edits in Jalen Ramsey
🤣
😐
😂🤣😂🤣
Geez such a logistical nightmare. Impressive how much planning goes into making London games work
More like stupid 😂 they don't care about our teams
@@andrebowling9864 Oh I absolutely agree. But the teams don't really have a choice and they do an amazing job to move an entire team thousands of miles away.
it just likes bringing a whole Batallion or Squadron to another country for Deployment. A lot of logistic involvement
@@andrebowling9864 yeah they do, those games are sold out and the ticket prices are expensive... you have fans all across the world who are Juventus, Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool supporters etc etc and they not even from the countries where those teams come from. this is how the NFL expands its fanbase by creating open minded fans to their respective sport. NFL is a small sport no where near the levels that of RUGBY, Cricket or Football. its called expansion, imagine a World Cup for American Football.
Necessarily and such a waste. We have food medication bandages why are you bringing that shit with you lmao
I love these logistical behind-the-scenes videos. Keep 'em coming.
3:29 is the get back coach 😂😂
I've been to almost every London series game and they are really great, but I never appreciated the effort that goes in to put these games on.
Do you live in London or do you travel with them for the game?
@@johnlee7377 I live about 15 minutes from Wembley stadium.
Did you go to Bears vs Raiders?
*still makes me cry*
@@baseballcentral5355 yeah, great game for the neutral!
Baseball Central are those high schools?
Y’all should do a day in life of an nfl ref
" so we wait for the highest bidder usually. after that we see by how much they want to win. It gets intense in the final few seconds"
"We actually have Robert Kraft on speed dial to see what his opinion is on the matter.
This is the NFL rule book no one has read it and we like to make stuff up on the spot.
So help Tom Brady and mess with the Saints
“If the lions ever take a lead we have to throw a flag no matter what.”
Now it’s 2022 and those exact 2 teams are gonna be Battling it out in the Super Bowl in a few days
We appreciate the time and effort! Great seeing my team ball out 🇬🇧🏈❤️
Was watching this and almost fell out of my chair when I realized I went to high school with someone from the rams. That was cool.
Who was it?
That's a lot of words for a game they're playing against a team tanking
It’s The NFL these are Professional Athletes Whether your playing the Patriots or the Bengals you always prepare and play the same and tbh the video makes it seem like it’s a lot of work which for you and me yes it would but it’s really not a whole lot more than what these guys normally do for a normal road trip out east anyway
Why tf do I have 3k likes
David Zea bears LOL
Bengals LOL
🤣
Just earlier in our state, a high school team drove 4 hours to the best team in the state and lost 0-103
TheMagicSlinky damn, and I thought my high school team was bad 💀
I love how this exact same matchup is now going to be in this Super Bowl.
history repeats
So no ones gonna mention how my guy burned tf outa that meat at 8:36? LMAOO
Fr
I thought he just started flipping charcoals.
I thought it was chicken 😂😂😂😂
holstfly1 chicken is meat. Smh
That’s how they cool over there dumbass
Loved this video. As a Rams fan got to see how the Rams get ready for a road trip, whether to Atlanta or London. There is a lot of planning involved. And by the way the Rams didn't seem to mind as they won 37-10 in Atlanta and beat Cincinnati 24-10.
If you ever want to know the importance of sleep.. I think this program covers it.... 👌🏾😮
If I ever go to Europe or any int waters I'll definitely be following these rules
holstfly1 you gonna be playing an nfl game there too?
So much hard work goes behind every football game, respect to everyone involved 👏👏👏👏
Great see something complicated like this broken down into a science. Very cerebral. Love it.
"London is my favorite city"
Los Angeles:......... wow.......
Compared to LA I would believe it. Even then I doubt the guy has looked into the laws. The uk is standing on the rubicon between the fascist eu superstate and the communists in labour. The uk has arrested more people for things they said online than russia by at least four hundred to one.
Im from san francisco, live in new york city, almost moved to LA multiple times before i moved here (been there a bunch of times) , went to London this past summer and i can definitely attest to the fact London is amazing. Its a much better "city" than LA, if you like big cities with lots of culture London is amazing. I would totally live there
La isn't a city it's a lifestyle. Let those Brits keep their fog and rain. I'll take this sunshine and beaches any day. Cheerio
Vagabond Wastrel I’m English and what you’ve written is absolute bull shit. What is facist about the EU? What labour communists? No one gets arrested for what they say online. However you should be.
@@vagabondwastrel2361 I think you win the award for like, the most hyperbolic comment about the UK ever.
8:36 whatever that is burnt af 😂
This was amazing!!! When I watch the games I think about this but I didn’t realize how much goes into it
These videos featuring all the staff and setup etc are just too cool for words to me.
if the nfl was smart, they would schedule two teams in london after they each had a bye week. that way they can get there earlier
Being a Football player in 2019 is actually the best. Cant imagine any football players pre 2000 getting this taken care of
Pretty sure British Hotels can get hold of a few Avocados mate 😂
I know 😂I’m thinking it’s a pretty standard food here. I think Americans literally have no idea about the rest of the world, they’re so isolated
alan B as an American I can confirm your statement
@@alanb9443 They literally call themselfs world champions In the Nfl and Nba yet NFL and NBA are tiny worldwide.
As an American my apologies, I guarantee that he has never been to Europe and this is probably his first time.
@@ElR6. for NFL it's the only country that plays the sport national the rest are rugby and NBA to much money and little viewing time for it to be like the world cup
This is so cool
To be fair they could've flown coach day of the game completely jet lagged, without half the equipment, eating plane food and drinking champagne on the flight and they still would've beat the Bengals
You could’ve sent a drunk sleep deprived coach and still easily crushed the Bengals
Now the Bengals are in the Super Bowl facing the Rams. The way football teams can completely change in just a year..
I know a lot goes into taking other sporting teams abroad but damn they really take things to the next level with the NFL
Great BTS videos, the info is dope!
It's pretty cool that you guys gave an in depth look on the behind the scenes and logistic of the international game.
This is Exactly why there will never be a team in London
Wow, I guess Gurley REALLY loves London.
London is a world class city
Great video!
I can’t imagine the Bengals did any of this. Mike Brown is like “wait how much does it cost?!? No way”.
There is so much going on behind a NFL game. These athletes are crazy jacked.
NFL: Our Teams struggle when playing overseas
SuperRugby Teams: Am I a joke to you?
They all travel far distances so it evens out
Well damn. Very interesting video
The games in London never disappoint 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Unless your a fan of the losing team
Amazing insights
i'll refer you to this pro for SPY/HACK related issues i can swear on my late dads grave he is legit

remember a stitch in time saves nine
I was at that game. Also traveled from the west coast to London. My trip's logistic was so much simpler than them.
I'm fairly sure we already have electricity in London
Y'all are getting offended in the comments but it's just a procedure they have to follow it's not meant to be an insult lol
I saw this interview on how the soccer players are treated the US, basically the same thing.
two replies and both miss the point. The electricity in the uk runs hotter and can fry equipment easier. Bringing a generator you can take with you.. such as a practice field removes some undesirable outcomes with a preemptive solution.
Realistically something previously probably went wrong so they put it on the to bring list.
They bring generators in us games just in case the power runs out. They bring generators every where so you don't have to get offended
its standard procedure, having backup solution just incase any problem occurs is protocol. Think like Batman, better to be prepare for every solution, the more command of the situation you are the less likely an issue is to arise.
This is why a franchise in London wouldn’t work, away games would take so much time to prepare for
DZsquid formula 1 moves teams all over the world with much more equipment than the NFL week in week out. They can do it. Its just about whether they want the UK market enough.
@@syco50 Formula 1 drivers don't train physically to the levels of NFL players... UK would need its own league entirely, and the elite of the elite face each other in world championship division after each respectable seasons, 1 game every 2 to 3 weeks.
Defcat u lose hush
Patrick Chen u lose hush
DZsquid it could work easily if they manage the schedule. East coast teams play in London and west coast can play Monday or after a bye. There’s only like 4 teams on the west coast anyway so the super long flight time isn’t the norm.
Amazing people
Excellent video. #NFL
Would’ve loved a brief part about player/staff logistics especially regarding passports and stuff like that
Imagine doing all this and losing. I wouldn’t want to be the equipment people for the browns
still get to work for an NFL team. Way cooler job than most people even for the worst team.
Easy to play in London when you are playing the Bengals 😂. This was a great video!
This was more interesting than i thought it would be..
NFL: That's a lot of work moving stuff
NHL: *You were saying?*
F1:
“We like our guys to sleep at 68 degrees Fahrenheit”
Couch Professional he’s making a joke because it’s oddly specific
It's because in the UK we use Celsius not Fahrenheit ..
Jayden Rhone ikr 😂
68 degrees Fahrenheit aka 20 degrees Celsius is not an oddly specific number... 20c degrees is room temperature its the perfect balance for the human body and its metabolism during sleep time, it also helps those players with allergies or more prone to getting the cold or the flu. common for all professional players across the world specially those travelling abroad.
Insane. Wouldn't think of half of this stuff
haha those guys looked really excited for their workout at 7:01
9:17 *Its called silencing your phone
Reminds me of the Wendover Productions video
I often forget Gurley is from rural North Carolina, and then I hear him speak and he makes me feel at home.😂
I used to work for the Ravens flagship station. I had nothing to do with sports but, without going into too much detail, broadcasters have similar logistical considerations.
8:35 lil boy def had these too long on the grill
F1: Am I a joke to you?
Very interesting! I love logistics too. Turkey & Cheese sandwiches? When they're over here they need to try Cheese and Branston Pickle Sandwiches. There is nothing better!
And to think 2 years later they are playing each other in the super bowl 2022
Formula 1: Hold my beer
F1 be like " you guys don't do this EVERY WEEK"
I would have thought someone in the NFL had a little chat with someone in F1 about how to go about this.
Play in Spain Camp Nou
The Raiders were smart to go to London early it helped this year
Hahaha 08:14 is this guy for real?! We have perfectly good avocados in the UK!
No
This is for 1 game, imagine if the team is based in London like they want one to be.
Have the Patriots ever done an 'across the pond' game?
Twice, but not since 2012 against the Rams. The other was 2009 against the Bucs. Both were blowout victories. They also did the Mexico City game in 2017.
The only NFL team that will never have played a London game after Houston plays its first tomorrow is the Packers.
Kraft says that he wants the Patriots to be the first team to play an international game in Germany in a couple of years (if the commissioner allows it)
They fly everything including their players on their Patriots plane n win games🤣🤣🤣🤣💞
Thought you were on to a conspiracy huh. Anything to discredit a great team. Little man 😂
@@blackbehemoth6073 Just a question, dude. I admire the Patriots 2 decades of dominance. No need to resort to slights.
Most West Coast teams play on the East Coast the week prior, and fly out Wednesday or Thursday.
10;43 the goat
According to Pat Macafee lots of edibles
So does London not have bandaids or something lol
I think there over doing it. It's like there fragile unchanged things. But it gives the guys a job so they obviously will sat u need to do this/that to help the players.
4:12 that dude looks like who’d they cast for Cody Parkey for a movie about Khalil Mack
Imagine playing baseball and doing this everyday 😂
I wish i was treated like a pro athlete
We got London on the track
It doesn't get more elite then this
Being an professional athlete is the best 'job'
Wouldn't it be smarter if the NFL just stored basic supplies like IT and medical for all teams in London all year round? Every team only has a single game in London, but that way it can be used by all teams that play in London. Just ask the teams what they need (it will probably not differ that much) and then split the (much lower) bill.
I think that would cost even more
Matt personal experience huh
Incredible how much effort they have to put into this. Also, what happens to the equipment that took them 5 months to send to the UK? Do they bring it back and receive it 5 months later?
since they're no longer on an actual timetable for when they need that gear back, they probably put it on a cheaper/longer freight shipping route and just get it back during the offseason; plus, they have less stuff to ship back, since all of those consumables like food and perishable medical supplies are obviously gonna be used up, so no need to provision as much shipping capacity
Wtf. anyone see spiderman at bottom left 😂 0:08
Imagine sending the Bungals overseas.
Erm, we have top quality avocados in the UK, thank you very much!
No, you don't. Most of your produce is pretty bad. I love the UK, and its people, but the food quality is just sub par.
@@MisterOwlz given that it appears you don’t live here then you wouldn’t know. Brexit has fucked us but the quality of “produce” is very good. Please tell me you’re not from the US with all your artificial crap?!
@@MisterOwlz What's that based on exactly? The food quality is better than the US in alot of cases with more stringent regulations regarding additives, preservatives etc. Just because something might taste different in the UK, doesn't make it sub par.
Ofc, there are always gonna be some things that are more easily sourced fresh on the other side of the world like Avocados, and vice versa. But both the US and UK are wealthy developed nations with plenty of good food to go around.
@@matthowells6382 They're not grown there so it probably wouldn't taste as good which is what the team gets which is what he's saying, and you don't have the amount the team would probably need to feed everyone there. If it's anything like that chicken that was being cooked on that grill it doesn't look to good! lol
Tom Brady being like nah don’t fly me to London
I went to the game as well 😁😁🏈
So basically if NFL wanna introduce a London Franchise. 2 bye weeks are necessary.
That will never happen. Theres too much that would have to go into it to have a team at the other side of the ocean.
Chague yeah sure. You fly 2000 miles from LA to New York and 2000 from New York to London. Where is the difference ?
@@DailyShit. how about LA to London?
One game across the pond with a bye week after won’t be that hard to manage. The only concern would probably come when it’s playoff time. London team definitely has to do 4 away games straight and need a temporary US facility.
Actually I heard that they want to extend a few more weeks so they could get another bye week.
It’s the get back coach!
👑
Why do they make such a big deal about playing in a difrent contry when rugby teams always go 9ver t9 other country's every week
its only 1 game thats why
I love how the guy talking about turkey and cheese sandwiches is acting like the ENGLISH hotel employees, are misunderstanding the ENGLISH language.
Also I know Americans have their “American English” so there is a slight language and culture difference but as the twitter account @Queen_UK said on the 03/11/2015 “there is no such thing as American English, there is English and there are mistakes.”
8:36 brooooooooooo those chickens are DONEZO why you flippin em like they need more time!!
Wow! All this effort to play the Bengals. Good for them!
8:08 he does know that the uk has avocados right
Why don’t they just buy this stuff in London
Lol you cant just buy that equipment
You cant just buy that shit stupid they have their own equipment that they need
Antdog 678 you can buy medical equipment in the UK. Only the team specific items like helmets, jerseys, or specific practice equipment would need to be sent.
Antdog 678 yeah I meant the medical stuff
@@MusicBent Once again. American players use American products. They need products that they are used and that they couldn’t be allergic to
Gurley cappin about moving to London 😂
Now we need to see a football game in the US.
grown men with children’s taste buds....
