Saints to Play Vikings in London

The NFL announced on Wednesday morning that the Saints will be hosting the Vikings in London at Tottenham Spurs Stadium for Oct. 2 in Week 4 at 8:30 a.m. CT. It's something we learned about towards the end of April that was picking up steam.
Originally, the Bengals were said to be in play, but things changed. Regardless, it will be a huge win for the NFL's International Series.
The NFL's expansion plan to a 17-game season determined that 2022 would see more teams that were eligible for a ninth regular season home game would shift to a neutral site on international grounds each year. The long and the short of it is that each team will host an international game at some point, and the Saints are among them this season.
The Saints and Vikings will meet for the 37th time in franchise history, which includes five postseason matchups.
The full NFL schedule is expected to drop on May 12, but at least you can start looking at the logistics of getting across the pond for a game in the United Kingdom.

I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011. My work has been featured on various outlets over the years. I worked closely with Skyhorse Publishing in Fall 2018 to update the book, Tales From the New Orleans Saints Sidelines, which filled in all Saints material from the 2013-2017 seasons. Prior to joining Saints News Network, I served as the Managing Editor of SB Nation's Canal Street Chronicles for 3.5 years, and before that with FanSided's Who Dat Dish as the Managing Editor for several years. I have also had experiences of being a freelance Saints reporter for The Sun Herald in Biloxi, MS and a contributing writer for WDSU, a local NBC TV station in New Orleans. I have appeared on a vast amount of TV and Radio shows, both nationally and locally. For tips, comments, or suggestions, please contact me at johnhendrix@saintsnews.net
