The first-ever NFL regular-season game in Germany is set.
The Seattle Seahawks will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 9:30 a.m. ET on Nov. 13 at Allianz Arena — home of FC Bayern Munich — in Munich, the league announced Wednesday. The game will air on NFL Network.
In February, the NFL announced the participation of five teams — the Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers — in International Series games for the 2022 season.
Here is the full slate of five international games during the 2022 NFL season:

A pair of teams with new head coaches will clash when Kevin O’Connell’s Vikings face off with Dennis Allen’s Saints. An important NFC matchup — and a rematch of the 2017 playoffs’ «Minneapolis Miracle» — will feature two teams who finished just outside of the playoffs in 2021 and are looking to reverse their fortunes in 2022. Led by offensive standouts Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson, the Vikings must contend with a stellar Cameron Jordan-led Saints defense.

Green Bay will become the 32nd and final team to play its first game in London since 2007 in a game against the Giants. This Tottenham matchup will feature the NFC’s top seed in 2021 against a Giants team taking its first steps into a new era with head coach Brian Daboll and an injection of young talent.

The Jaguars — making their ninth trip to the U.K. since the league began hosting overseas games — will round out the three U.K. games when they face the Broncos. Jacksonville will face a familiar face in former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who is now the head coach of the Broncos. 

The 2020 Super Bowl champs will again feature Tom Brady on a roster constructed to win now under new head coach Todd Bowles. They’ll take on a new-look Seahawks team in the midst of its first season in a decade without Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback.

The Cardinals will face the NFC West-rival 49ers in a game that could play a significant role in determining the final standings in the division, and perhaps the conference. San Francisco reached the NFC Championship Game in the 2021 season before falling to the same team that eliminated Arizona on Super Wild Card Weekend: the eventual Super Bowl LVI champion Los Angeles Rams.
Free-agent linebacker Kyle Van Noy is meeting with the Chargers, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, and if all goes well, there is a good chance Van Noy will sign with Los Angeles.

The Green Bay Packers are signing defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday, per a source. Wyatt is locked in for a four-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $12.86M with a $6.533M signing bonus, per Rapoport. This makes Wyatt the first of the 2022 first-round picks to sign a deal.
Colts linebacker Darius Leonard revealed he was fighting a significant mental health battle while also attempting to play through the pain of a nagging ankle injury, hindering his performance and negatively affecting his mental state in a profound manner.
Pittsburgh will have a second round of interviews for its vacant GM job. Titans VP of player personnel Ryan Cowden and Buccaneers VP of player personnel John Spytek are among those who are scheduled to meet with the Steelers again.
DeVonta Smith is coming off a season with the Eagles in which he reset the franchise’s rookie receiving yards record, but he knows there’s room for improvement and learning from his new teammate, A.J. Brown, is great way to do just that.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was involved in a car crash Wednesday in Dallas, but did not sustain serious injuries.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin explained the trials and tribulations of having a competition among three quarterbacks and how he expects his veteran QBs to handle a rookie in the mix during an appearance on «The Rich Eisen Show.»
