The New England Patriots (7-2) travel to Mexico City to face the (4-5) Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon at Estadio Azteca Stadium.
This will be the first-ever regular season game that the Patriots have played in Mexico, while Oakland played there last season, beating the Houston Texans in the game.
"I'm excited for it. It's going to be a lot of fun. I've never been to Mexico City. It's nice that it's here. When the schedule comes out and you kind of figure out where you're playing, this is the kind of game you look forward to, playing against a really good football team in a pretty cool environment. So, it will be very memorable. I think everyone's excited," said Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during his press conference on Friday.
