I dont know who's making that Chiefs/Dolphins game thread but the title should be "The most anticipated game of the season that you will either be sleep for or won't have the channel to watch." :Russ:
This is an epic failure on the NFL, this game should have been flexed the moment miami dropped 70 on Denver.

Having any regular season game in Germany is a failure. It's unfair to the actual fans of these teams to lose a home game for marketing purposes. It's unfair to NFL fans across the country who wanted to see this matchup in primetime. Bills vs Bengals should be a 1pm game or Monday night. How you let Mahomes vs Tyreek go abroad is beyond me. To make matters even worse it's not on CBS so everyone can't actually watch it if they're even up that early. I'll be in the gym so I'll probably miss the first half.
It seems that the NFL is more popular in Germany than London and the Chiefs, Bucs, Panthers, and Pats have international marketing rights there. Those teams made themselves eligible to play there. Still could have scheduled another opponent then the Dolphins or moved this matchup earlier/later in the season.
The league is doing too much with overseas games, Thursday night football, a 17th game, and bad matchups in primetime. We just had Bears/Charger and Raiders/Lions last week. Raiders are back on Sunday night next week vs the Jets. Who wanted to see Rodgers vs Jimmy G? Minny vs Denver is the week after that. Giants have already played twice on Sunday night and lost a combined 54-9.
