The Minnesota Vikings are being screwed by the NFL, according to their fans.
While the league hasn’t yet released its full schedule, it’s revealed that the Vikings will be the first team in history to play back-to-back international games in different countries.
Dublin then London! 🇮🇪🇬🇧

Minnesota is marked down for a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, on September 28 and will follow that up with a match against the Cleveland Browns in London a week later.
Minnesota Vikings Fans Are Not Okay With This
The NFL will reveal its full schedule this Wednesday, but it has announced most of the international games set for 2025.
It appears the Vikings will be the only team to play two games away from American soil during the season, although the Los Angeles Chargers’ opponent for their game in Brazil hasn’t been announced.

While flights from Dublin to London are just over an hour, and most of the Minnesota Vikings’ home games require them to travel a lot further, even when they’re in the States, they could be affected by the change of time zone as they will have to remain in Europe longer than any other team.
On the bright side, their international travel will be over by Week 5, so they will remain in the U.S. for the remaining 13 games after getting back home.
