The Green Bay Packers are set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 in Brazil. The team has already landed in Sal Paulo. However, many people are worried about the flight path the Packers took.
According to flight trackers, it was revealed that Green Bay flew right through the Bermuda Triangle. Of course, that specific area has become an urban legend with stories of aircraft and ships mysteriously disappearing without a trace.

This has everyone on the internet freaking out and making jokes about the situation.
“If they end up losing, we can blame the Bermuda at least,” one comment said.
“1-0 on the season after escaping with a win against the Bermuda Triangle,” another said.
“They might see some of their 3rd round picks,” a third joked.
“We will remember this fact when they win the super bowl,” a fourth continued.
According to FlightAware, the Packers are expected to touch down in Brazil at 7:14 PM local time. The Eagle’s flight won’t be too far behind, and hopefully, it will be enough time for all the players to feel right before the game.
The Green Bay Packers Set To Play In Second International Game
With the NFL starting to push international games more, the Packers are already getting their second one in two years.
In 2022, they traveled to London to take on the New York Giants, eventually losing 27-22 in an upset. That was the first time the Packers had crossed the American border for a game.
Of course, that means that Green Bay will be looking for their first-ever international win in Brazil during Week 1. The Packers are also considered one of the most popular teams in Brazil, so maybe it won’t feel too different from just another home game at Lambeau.
