During the NFL's inaugural game in South America, the matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles faced significant issues with players slipping on the Corinthians Arena field in São Paulo, Brazil. Notable reactions came from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who criticized the field conditions on social media, stating, "Man, this field sucks!!!" Former NFL player JJ Watt also weighed in, highlighting the incompatibility of soccer fields with the physicality of NFL play. Both head coaches, Matt LaFleur and Nick Sirianni, expressed concerns over potential injuries due to the slippery surface. Fans and commentators echoed these sentiments, describing the field conditions as dangerous and unacceptable for a professional game. This incident raises questions about the NFL's standards for international venues, especially considering past complaints during overseas games.
