The second game of the 2022 NFL International Series will happen on October 9 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
This time, the New York Giants will face the Green Bay Packers.
The Giants were not given much of a chance this season after finishing their 2021 campaign with a 4-13 record.
However, new head coach Brian Daboll instilled a mentality that has led them to a 3-1 slate after Week 4.
Meanwhile, the Packers are one of the NFC’s top contenders, and it’s tough to see them out of contention, especially with reigning Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers still around.
Therefore, the Giants-Packers matchup in London will be a historic showdown because both teams found success early in the season.
Sunday's London game between the Packers and Giants will mark a first: this is the first time in 32 NFL games played in London that both teams enter the game with a winning record.
Packers (3-1) vs. Giants (3-1).

ESPN’s Field Yates tweeted, “Sunday’s London game between the Packers and Giants will mark a first: this is the first time in 32 NFL games played in London that both teams enter the game with a winning record. Packers (3-1) vs. Giants (3-1).”
One team will go to 4-1, while the other will still have a fairly good record of 3-2.
The Giants will use their league-leading rushing attack, led by running back Saquon Barkley.
The former Penn State standout rediscovered his footing, making him the top rusher through four weeks.
New York’s defense is also keeping opponents neutralized, thanks to Azeez Ojulari, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Micah McFadden, and Adoree’ Jackson.
Packers Shook Off The Cobwebs
Green Bay’s opening weekend loss to the Minnesota Vikings is already a distant memory after winning three games in a row.
However, they haven’t blown their opponents away in their last two games.
They won both matches by a combined five points and escaped the New England Patriots with an overtime victory.
The Packers also have a solid ground attack with A.J. Dillon and Aaron Jones.
Meanwhile, Rodgers has distributed the ball evenly among his receivers Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, and tight end Robert Tonyan.
